The big money Democrats have never spent any money building anything but the party. THAT HAS BEEN THE DEMS' BIGGEST MISTAKE. THE REPUBLICANS HAVE BUILT A PROPAGANDA EMPIRE. NT

(11,832 posts)However, what is gong on in the media... television and social media, is nothing short of an "arms Race" for attention and we are clearly loosing.
For years the knock on the Democrats has been that they are lousy at messaging, but our message is being drowned.
It has been a mistake to not fight fire with fire. We could not even keep Air America afloat.. Where are our enlightened billionaires?
