Should Democrats flood the right wing media?

[berniesandersmittens]

Yes, im talking fox, rogan, tik tok, any outlet that will let us speak. We have got to find efficient ways of reaching the public with our vision.

That vision should be simple, short, and LOUD. The old saying " the squeekiest wheel gets oiled first". Well, the gophers have perfected the squeal.

If we really have lost some of the working class, it's time to double down on workers rights, healthcare, and safety.

Have a simple, three fold message and stick to it. That's how the gophers have controlled the narrative. They are the loudest mouths and they stick to their talking points (as horrid as those are).

I'm just an ordinary person without political experience or any inside information. Should Democrats condense messaging and take it directly to the magats, or do should we refuse to engage?

1. More speech is always better

so yes, folks from all sides should be reaching out to folks from all sides!

[JustAnotherGen]

2. Only if they are capable of telling

The talking head that they are liars who put 45 back in the WH. They should also yell over them and use it to say things like: Money For Yacht Owners is all cutting taxes is going to do.

7. I wish we had 100 more Pete Buttigiegs

Money For Yacht Owners is pretty good.

[JustAnotherGen]

14. Me too

And I wish he was in the running for the Chair of the Democratic Committee.

3. LOL. You don't understand what RW Media's function is.

It's not to encourage debate.

4. YES !! Dems need better **AMPLIFICATION** network like FAUX NewZ which sets the agenda for MAGA Media

[CrispyQ]

5. What is our three-fold message? Is that a marketing term?

At any rate, I've been saying for a long time that we need to hire a marketing company. There are too many myths that are just wrong, the classics being that Republicans are better at the economy & that they are the party of family values. These are just not true yet they persist because our side has never taken them on. So yes, we need to blitz the media, all around.

from Google:

Has the US economy done better under Democrats or Republicans?

Job growth has been notably greater under Democratic presidents than Republican presidents since the early 1980s. Looking at the last seven presidents, job growth totaled over 50 million under Democratic presidents compared to only 17 million under Republican presidents. Oct 7, 2024

When they call us tax & spend democrats where's our response, tax CUT & spend republicans? A good marketing team would have come up with that. Hell, just hire someone to read DU, cuz I think that's where I first read that.

6. Definitely need a marketing plan

I pulled the 3 point thing from my butt.

Just thinking that a simple message that's easy to recite and remember may help us be more "relatable".

Definitely grab the healthcare narrative. Workers rights is another. I'm not sure how we articulate the border. The gophers have gotten people terrified of immigrants.

We need our own Project 2025. Evidently the folks who voted for the felon don't care to do any reading. The gophers have a plan to completely dismantle our Democracy, but in public they scream "Border! China! Socialist!".

Maybe the DNC can put a detailed vision online, but use a slogan-like campaign to drive the larger points home.

8. Maybe do what they do and send chatbot armies into their comment sections

Flood the zone on rumble with hundreds of chatbots upvoting each other's comments.

[GoodRaisin]

9. Fox News and other RW media tell lies about us all day long

We need our own network to counter all those lies. And, heighten the discussion of anything that would piss off magats about Trump (like slamming him all day and night about flipping on H-1B visas for example).

[PeaceWave]

10. How about working on what the "vision" is first - including figuring out why we've been losing union voters.

[SocialDemocrat61]

11. "any outlet that will let us speak"

That’s really the problem, most of the right wing outlets won’t let Democrats speak.

[Ping Tung]

12. Nope.

“To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.”

[Blue_Tires]

13. I say we create our own media ecosystem

[mountain grammy]

16. I think that's the best way

[JI7]

15. The messaging thing is overrated. You aren't going to get a candidate

that is able to message transgender issues in a way that makes people see things differently. Instead you are going to see democrats come out against certain things .
Sanders went on these shows and he gets no support. The only support they gave him was even they could use him to go after Hillary. But there is nothing now. They also hate Elizabeth Warren and love the way billionaire Musk attacks her.
