  • I know it’s hard to imagine but there are people further to the left of rich corporate Democrat libs.

    I seriously don’t know anyone who uses “libs” in any sense other than to imitate trolls and right-wing nutjobs.

    They fucked up and they need to learn from their mistakes

    Very genocide Joe of you. Zero help, all bitching. It’s genuinely shocking this . . . what politics are you supposedly representing again? . . . Anyway, it’s surprising that it hasn’t skyrocketed in popularity. Must be those rich Democrat libs and their (((media))) stranglehold, am i right? Lotsa (((globalists))) in there, aren’t there. Yeah. You know what i’m talkin about. You get it. They need to learn, y’know. Them.

    Or you can just call anyone who calls you out a Trumpist, change nothing, and keep losing.

    Calls me out for what. Voting for Harris? Yeah you got a built-in posse for that now too, don’t ya. You get to rub ethos with your favorite Ohio sheriffs. Speaking of changing nothing, you can claim ignorance, or moral superiority, or intellectual purity, or whatever purity you claim to wield, but the fact is your (in)actions have bought you and the rest of us four years of drowning in shit and since you’re not willing to see that, we’ll probably do it again in four years.

    You wanna get Bernie or AOC on the ticket? I’d love to see it. But we both know if it happens you’ll have nothing to do with it. What happens when they compromise with some entity that’s not as pure and authentic as you? When they accept corporate money? Horrors! You’ll be forced to shit on them too, and find new symbols for your paper-thin, skewed, losing takes on national politics.





  • Agreed on the Perception and Primary points.

    A mad dash to make a network of “liberal Joe Rogan podcasts” will be effective for direct messaging.

    Do you remember Air America? It was back when radio was a thing, but still. No, it doesn’t work. Because good liberal communication is be default boring - it’s full of facts and nuance and it lacks exclamation points and breaking news chyrons and the rest of modern right-wing propaganda. When it uses them - it doesn’t work.

    But if your messaging is still a defense neoliberalism and globalization, you are going to keep losing.

    I don’t even know what those things are. So . . . good news there, I guess.

    To someone for whom having an extra $50 in their pocket is a big deal, the centrist-Dem message is not worth considering.

    That’s not true in several ways. We can review economics, we can review the platform policies, we can see how a Democratic position is the much more beneficial one to our $50 peeps, but if they don’t get jazzed by it and instead vote (or allow) the racist rapist to win - that’s totally on them. There is no further discussion at that point. “Know who you’re voting for and why” is ultimately not the DNC’s responsibility. They made all the information as available and widespread as it was possible to do.

    Paid maternity leave, free healthcare, childcare credits, food stamps, stable employment, worker protections, etc are way more important to working poor voters.

    All of which came from the Democrats. Not Jill Stein, not “nobody”, and sure as hell not the republiQan party. All of it is the party they should vote for. Working poor voters just shot themselves in the crotch because of outrageous ignorance and love of violent rhetoric. Hooray. Much messaging very win.
