What good are Dem talking points

if the Media only reports what Repugs say?

Here is the one article in the Times that quotes Democrats.

Explaining a Democratic Talking Point About the Shutdown
Democrats have misused budget jargon to assail the Republican budget proposal as “dirty,” but the bill is considered “clean.”


Sounds more like a GOP response than a unbiased article.

It's always the weakest arguments.

Senator Warren just pushed back and told a reporter Trump Lied.

That should be a viral message. . . but the media would rather have rank and file Democratic Party members think NO ONE in our Party is doing ANYTHING.

What a useless bunch of warm-ups for ads.
Might need to buy air time.
But that might mean being actually organized.
