(33,643 posts)1) Get closer to the RePuQ's overall level of 'unity'. Especially in terms of 'staying on message' from top to bottom (throughout their entire ecosystem, if you will) their communications are notably more effective than that of Democrats. They're also better at quickly getting in front of microphones, generally.
2) And speaking of the messaging, they're much more effective at naming and framing issues, and tend to argue more forcefully (even if a lot of times their argument is full of lies and straw-men ... we don't need to do that).
3) Democrats need something like a Fox News (except for it's actually truthful, because we have the facts on our side), and more talkers on the radio as well. Find some wealthy liberals to bankroll it if they have to, like the GOP has with Murdoch and the Mercers.
4) Although we all hate ALEC, the fact is it's not illegal ... Democrats should have a similar entity, and I don't know that we do.
