How True this is, Yet we keep falling for it



*sigh*

Why is our messaging and counter-messaging so bad?

1. We dems are bad at messaging, but much of it is the
fault of the press. No matter what we say, the media spins it the way they want to. And if they can't spin it, they ignore it.

2. Yeah But
Our reps could say "What does my opinion matter? I don't rep lower Manhattan." and then call out the GOP for this bullshit.

We never play offense. Ever.

3. Wouldn't be so bad

if Democrats would remind folks of how the GoP advocate the interests of the most wealthy at the expense of the rest of the nation regardless of the issue being discussed. Find a way to work it in or tack it on the end. All they need to do is outline how the GoP have voted, and what they've obstructed. It's dreadfully obvious.

4. Half of the problem is
the media advantage the right wing enjoys. Our position is heard in a whisper while the Reich Wing's position is shouted with a bullhorn.
