Why is it so hard for Dems to AT LEAST hold a press conference.

19. I don't think we're fighting effectively, but I don't think fighting effectively is possible, sadly.

I think if democratic leadership adopted a stronger, fighting, unified stance, the media would simply start shutting them down. Not inviting them back, working with republicans to create pseudo-scandals about them, new programs with shouting matches featuring 4 republicans and one democrat, etc.

This is the result of the right pouring trillions of dollars over the last 45 or so years into controlling and dominating the media landscape. We are far, far too late in joining that fight and mere messaging is no match for controlling the microphone in a highly propagandistic media environment.
