What am I saying? Actually, it's been terrible, not so much in the particular, because poll after poll show that the American public largely agree with us on most major issues if separated from the label "democrat".
The GOP have somehow promoted their lies over our truth. It's weird because most movies and teevee shows have a progressive undertone in the main. Almost all actors and most musicians are personally progressive themselves.
The RW have been allowed to craft our image and it's not a good one. They've made the word "liberal" toxic to the point where I myself rarely use it anymore. They've turned feminists into "fema-nazis".
I've digressed from the OP but in order to win hearts and minds when they're connected to the words "liberal" or "democrat" we need a huge and effective PR campaign and an image make-over crafted by some genius people with tons of money.
Problem is, the GOP is way ahead of us in their efforts.
