14. They need to hire professional marketing/advertising firms that do it ALL: print, television, social media, even

coordinate live events. Professional spin artists/marketers/commercial creators/event producers who get paid millions because they are THAT good.

This seems so obvious! Why haven't the DNC and the Dems in Congress done this yet? Or have they, but they hired ineffective marketing/advertising firms?

No one making $10s of millions a year is going to convince me that the cutthroat backstabbing vote was a good thing. Nt yaesu Nov 11 #1

Which is, strangely, exactly what Lawrence O'Donnell tried to do last night. BComplex Nov 11 #18

I believe Dem messaging gets diluted by attempt to appeal to a wide audience bucolic_frolic Nov 11 #2

Bernie and AOC seem to know how to message. Raven123 Nov 11 #5

Yep. It is. n/t OneGrassRoot Nov 11 #6

Couldn't agree more. Yes, republicans control the airwaves. But they have for 40 years. Scrivener7 Nov 11 #7

I think we are starved for it. There's a lot of "we the people must rise up" talk, but frankly I find that childish. Scrivener7 Nov 11 #11

How about we attack the media (rather than Democrats) like Republicans did to bias them in the first place? W_HAMILTON Nov 11 #23

Rah rah! All is well! Everything we are doing is working GREAT!!! And Garland's got this!!! Scrivener7 Nov 11 #24

That is your response to me saying we should go after the media the way Republicans did? W_HAMILTON Nov 11 #25

Yes! Cirsium Nov 11 #26

You think we would be """misbehaving""" by rightfully calling out fascist friendly media? W_HAMILTON Nov 11 #27

No Cirsium Nov 11 #28

It actually was, based on the point I was making vs your attempted retort. W_HAMILTON Nov 12 #34

OK Cirsium Nov 12 #35

Lawrence O'Donnel was great last night LetMyPeopleVote Nov 11 #9

Senator Chris Murphy was better. And I'm thinking he's in a better position to know. Scrivener7 Nov 11 #12

Chris Murphy is a great communicator and explainer. I sing his praises often. yellow dahlia Nov 11 #29

Well said. He's so sincere and that conveys. n/t OneGrassRoot Nov 12 #32

Yes. He is a defender of the Constitution and our Democracy. yellow dahlia Nov 12 #33

Yup, agree 100% Joinfortmill Nov 11 #10
