47. How are Democrats supposed to get better at messaging?

Sun Dec 8, 2024, 08:09 PM

Dec 8

The corporate owned McGreedia is a giant megaphone that spews Puke talking points, 24/7. There is no Liberal media, let alone a progressive one.

Hate radio owns the vast majority of AM radio stations and many people can't afford Sirius XM or other kinds of streaming or satellite radio.

No rich person or group of people has stepped up to the plate and purchased a major media outlet to help us get our message out.

Oligarchs back Agolf Twitler by giving him millions of dollars of free advertising, where they add insult to injury by letting him tell endless lies and never once challenging him on any of it.

And yet, you want to blame Democrats for not being good enough at messaging.

Republicans have crashed the economy in every election cycle that they get into power, and this has been true for the entire seven decades that I have been alive. But this fact never gets enough coverage by the McGreedia because the majority of the media is owned by very wealthy people.

How is this the democrats fault? If the problem is low information voters who lack the education to understand how economics or government works, why is this the fault of the democrats? Who can we count on to support more funding for education, more access to higher education through grants and scholarships? Right, it's democrats who do that. Which party routinely attacks funding for education and tries to divert funding to private and religious schools, taking it away from public schools? Um, yeah, it is Republicans who do that.

Yet, there are still people who want to blame Democrats for everything!

The evidence is so clear: Republicans crash the economy every time they get control, and then Democrats have to clean up the mess that they leave behind, and the McGreedia help the Republicans take credit for all the good work that the Democrats did, by never doing the actual work required for investigative reporting and never challenging the Republicans on their lies!

But, yeah, Democrats need to get better at messaging.
