to frame the major issues as does the GOP when they distract, redirect, and reframe the issues when Mueller get close to Trump and his administration. AND the Democrats need to learn how to force the media to talk more about obstruction of justice. They need to begin to make "collusion" the main focus for the Trump campaign staff and those in his administration while focusing obstruction of justice on Trump, Sessions, and Sara Sanders big mouth.
Sara has made several direct, unambiguous charges against HRC for which she should be sued. Using her bully pulpit to slander should be a crime against her. She seldom says "alleged" or "possible" but she makes definitive statements as though HRC was actually found guilty of some of the outrageous charges the COP throws out there.

With a straight face, watch these same GOP fucks ignore the biggest scandal in US history and dismiss it as "partisan politics".
The Democrats must collectively go for the jugular over this!

Huckleberry Sandbags needs a cease and desist letter and when she doesn't HRC must go on the attack. Dems must get all over the false narrative they keep spinning. They need to keep their eye on the ball against the Yertle's beloved give away to the 1%.

(241 posts)They need to pound this message in every day just like the GOP does. Stay on message. Call it obstruction of justice and treason until the majority of Americans believe it. Paint Trump as the dishonest criminal that he is. Make him completely toxic like the GOP did to Hilary.

(151 posts)The leadership needs to read George Lackoffs books on
how to use language to get your point across. The GOP is so good at obfuscation because people just dont educate themselves. By cloaking their nefarious initiatives in names like death tax, clean power initiative healthy forests initiative etc. Democrats are years behind them and their chorus of voices all saying the same thing. Frame Rump and his minions as American traitors.

(14,489 posts)Our problem is three-fold as I see it:
1. We don't have enough charismatic spokespersons to which the people and the press are drawn.
2. We don't have the vast array of public media as the right does, with their talk radio stations and Faux News.
3. As others have said, we're failing to frame the issues in ways that appeal to people's base instincts, fears and desires.
In other words, we're too damn quiet, factual, rational and boring!
