In reply to the discussion: Other than Katie Porter & a couple others, the Democratic Party STILL doesn't know how to fight back [View all]JudyM
(29,105 posts)what I agree with you is our greatest need for improvement: powerful messaging. We have the better moral position but time after time, they dominate the narrative. McConnell talks like hes the reasonable one. One question I have is why we dont publicly, vociferously attack McConnell. Maybe we cant take action right now, but we should be breathing fire in our public sound bites.
Case in point: Steny Hoyer was on the news last week, seems like a perfectly nice, reasonably guy, but didnt have a potent take away message... people can easily think the parties disagreeing is just politics as usual, as opposed to one party blocking desperately needed help to average people while having stretched the deficit for corporate/wealthy tax breaks.
