Democratic Messaging

[Pototan]

28. I think you may have missed my point

Our messaging is too hard to explain. I believe in Democratic Socialism because I understand it and how it works in Scandinavian countries. But once that 8% hears "Socialism" the conversation is over, and we lost that vote. That's why I never bring it up in conversations.

This proportion of voters decides who wins and losses and we need emotional easy to understand slogans. Joe Biden understood that and hammered home the "Democracy is on the line" theme. During all the strategy sessions, a lot of Dems resisted that theme. Joe Biden ran with it, and it cut our losses.

I'm a strong Democrat and I hate to lose. I don't believe in "Pyric Victories". The fact we did well in keeping the margin close in the House doesn't satisfy me. The Assholes still hold the gavels. Jim Jordan still Chairs the Judiciary Committee.

Sure, we outran the polls. But that's not good enough for me. This country should have two parties, and one of them should not be controlled by Nazis, because that's who controls the Republican party. If we are to save America, we need to win a majority of national votes and control every chamber for 10 years, not just come close. I'm sorry If not being a cheerleader offends you, but we need to win. This ain't horseshoes.
