On Dem messaging, Lawrence O'Donnell, and even Heather Cox Richardson and the like... [View all] OneGrassRoot Nov 11 OP

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

Understood. To offer more clarity about what I envision... OneGrassRoot Nov 11 #3

That -- and our fascist friendly media that has been fully exposed. W_HAMILTON Nov 11 #22

"Social media is powerful." markodochartaigh Nov 11 #4

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

This part: OneGrassRoot Nov 11 #8

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

Keith Olbermann has been saying this for months Greyhead Nov 11 #13

They need to hire professional marketing/advertising firms that do it ALL: print, television, social media, even LaMouffette Nov 11 #14

100% correct. CaptainTruth Nov 11 #15

YES. I "want to hear directly from those we elect in a coordinated, cohesive manner." EVERY DAY. chia Nov 11 #16

KnR. Well stated @OneGrassRoot. n/t iluvtennis Nov 11 #17

My suggestion for the past several months is holding a Press Conference Every Other Day. Why?.... electric_blue68 Nov 11 #19

I like it! And time for the podcasts to discuss it. n/t OneGrassRoot Nov 11 #20

Thanks! Ah, didn't think of that (pod cast discussion). electric_blue68 Nov 11 #21

And IMHO - Dems need to fire the strategists. yellow dahlia Nov 11 #30
