In reply to the discussion: What's clear is that Democratic Party messaging is woefully inadequate [View all]As I was typing I was thinking of the buildings full of brains employed over the decades to help out the conservative agenda. The think tanks they probably spent a billion on over the years. I can't even imagine the psychological theories and philosophies that they use.
But we better remember we're not in a knife fight. I have a feeling people caught on after 2000. But we're so damned slow to get moving. There's something in the water in Washington. These guys think they're in a club. But the Dems are fools if they think the smiling conservatives are going to play nice. Plus, they own the media.
What we're up against is an age old power structure. They make the rules. They have the money. What we have to do is get the people unified.
