132. What makes you think Democrats don't call out the "fake news" bullshit?

The ones I'm following not only do that--they say things like republicans are killing people with their healthcare plan. That they could care less about clean water. Or air. Who are these Democrats that say nothing?
I'm open to criticism, I'm open to suggestions for improvement, but in a volitile situation that has many factors, phrasing like "status quo" quickly lose real meaning. We parrot each other--that's what humans do, I get that.

I like the OP of this thread. He thinks things out, he stands up for what he believes and I understand his point, I think--I have doubts-about my understanding because of the vagueness of the questions.

We certainly need to monitor ourselves and our party and address flaws, but we're are not doing a good job because we are not being specific--or, when we are specific, we leave out a major point, Depending on our personal bias. When someone brings up that major point--instraad of saying "yes, this is also very important" we get defensive. This is played out all over the place, not just DU.

I think we should start with the Democratic Party platform.

https://www.democrats.org/party-platform

Now, this platform looks good to me, I believe in it and I donate to my states Democratic Party every month--but if we go through point by point--I bet we find areas where we could improve our messaging significantly. Pelosi's own platform mirrors this one. I bet we can find areas to improve messaging in hers are well. Pelosi is minority leader--I think she's doing a good job. That doesnt mean she can't do better.
