Showing Original Post only (View all)What's clear is that Democratic Party messaging is woefully inadequate [View all]
The Republicans are extremely good at delivering their messages, in spite of the fact that they're all horrible lies, completely divisive and wholly unworkable fantasies
But when it comes to vision, they are experts at that shit.
How can Democrats fix the messaging problem? Is the country itself the issue? Does America really want to be as so self-destructive, nativist, sexist, intolerant, anti-intellectual, fearful, pious, authority driven and completely freaking idiotic as is promoted in the Republican's "positive" role models?
Is the problem our inability to garner and replicate the almost sociopathic levels of mass groupthink that's so easy for the Right to muster? Is the mere fact that intelligent liberals are just too freethinking as a demographic to work together as a movement apparatus?
OR
Is it just that poor Democratic messaging forces Americans to resort to the Republicans because the GOP promotes an image of fervent self-belief? That when people are given a choice between an organized mess and a disorganized mess, most of them are going to choose the organized one?
Give us your ideas and observations
How can we Democrats fix the party's poor messaging problem in such a way that we can all agree on is the best way to go
Not just for ourselves, but for the benefit of the nation as well?
Your ideas for the proper messages, messengers and appropriate methods are greatly appreciated.
