Last night I caught about five minutes of Chris Murphy

[senseandsensibility]

on All In on MSNBC. He about summed up my feelings. He said that the Dem Party is not fighting hard enough and even not "working" hard enough to counter the Repugs. They are not hitting the atrocious nominees hard enough. He said it's not enough to say something negative once a week. The message needs to be all day, every day, or they are going to take away the rule of law and our safety net.

Sorry, I know this isn't a cheery message, but I'm glad someone seems to get it.

1. Just where will people see the all day, everyday message?

Today's media is complicit in keeping Democratic voices from being heard, and Democrats have tuned politics out. ( including me)

[senseandsensibility]

3. One of the main reason I have tuned out is because

of wishy washy messaging from our side. Many Dems will reengage when/if they hear a strong message.

5. I would say Kamala and Tim put out strong messages every damn day during their hard fought campaign...

...and Americans still chose to believe the lies peddled by Republicans propagandists because our news is dominated by heavily Republican-slanted outlets and """both sides""" types that put Republican lies on equal footing with Democratic truths.

Look at all the owners of major media that have were cozying up to Trump both before and especially after the election. Look at the anti-Trump stories, op-eds, endorsements, etc. that were prevented from being run by their wealthy owners. Democrats can't out-message their way out of that. It is going to take a lot more than a simple explanation like that.

I don't know what the answer is to winning at a rigged game, but a good start would be for Democrats to start fighting back against Republican propaganda and pushing Democratic messages and values rather than criticizing Democrats for not putting out a """strong message."""

6. BlueSky, X, Facebook TikTok, YouTube, Podcasts, and traditional media

They need to be on ALL of it all the time. They DESPERATELY need a COORDINATED slamming message day in and day out - using phrases like “billionaire robber barons”, etc.

He’s right that if they do NOT, they will become a permanent minority party.

[senseandsensibility]

7. Absolutely

And they have so much material to work with.

[CousinIT]

9. They have daily shit tons of it. This is why I can't understand why

they don’t get on this - or hire someone @ DNC to coordinate it all with Democrats in and outside of Washington. Get the loudest most known faces and voices out there on multiple platforms every day with coordinated messaging.

13. It's the lack of coordination and consistency. This, absolutely.

2. I can understand

tuning out from the news, but there are other sources to hear news. Not good to totally opt out, this is what the the felon and Musk want. No this

[no_hypocrisy]

4. They should take lessons from him,

Bernie, and AOC.

[CousinIT]

8. Exactly. They can do this. Or send the more vocal Dems out to do it...

…have YouTube channels, podcasts, social media accounts to post memes and phrases about the subjects of the week (daily) and then ALL DEMOCRATS parrot them everywhere,, including on the house and senate floors.

IT’S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE.

[Skittles]

10. it would HELP if we had a FAIR MEDIA

BUT WE DO NOT

[senseandsensibility]

11. Agreed on both counts

but we still need to stand up and unite around a strong message.

[Skittles]

12. we DO

WE ARE ANTI-FASCISM

[Evolve Dammit]

14. Murphy has the required passion the moment calls for.
