The Civil War never ended—it just became a cold war. Democratic socialist. Don’t watch cable news or Sunday news shows. Listen to the @ProLeftPodcast.bsky.social. Fuck Trump & Elon Musk.

The time of their choosing is never, or possibly after they take back congress. The place of their choosing is nowhere, with the halls of congress a distant second. The manner of their choosing is to demand ACA subsidies and nothing else, because it would be too divisive otherwise.

I remember a few months ago on CNN when asked about his party’s response to McIver’s arrest, Jeffries said that the Dems response would be “ in a time, place and manner of our choosing..it will be continuous and meet the moment.”

Dems communication strategy is so obsolete. Average voters don’t care about data, PowerPoint presentations or policy wonkery. You drive people to the polls by appealing to their emotions. People vote with their hearts, not their brains.

I don't understand the incessant infatuation with winning over a few Fox News viewers. The better strategy for Dems is to persuade the people standing on the sidelines.

There aren't 5-10% Fox viewers who can be persuaded to vote for a socialist

Rod Green @thetheredundant.bsky.social · 7h

You think there are Fox News viewers who can be persuaded to vote for a socialist based on a 10 min interview???

A 10 min segment with someone on the Left is immediately cancelled out by 23 hours and 50 mins of right wing propaganda.

what do i think would work? focusing on class and race and gender and with a particular focus on progressive-leaning politics that appeal to a large majority of americans, centered around a campaign using MODERN communications. but nobody wants to bother with that.

Vance follows Neo Nazis on Twitter or X, whatever.

This thing where party leaders try to dictate who the base is supposed to support isn't annoying at all. Not at all.

The Trump regime is kidnapping people off the street, killing civilians and purposely tanking the economy--what are we debating here?

Clyburn can't control who primary voters pick in the booth. Biden was going to win SC whether Clyburn endorsed him or not. Black people have a mind of their own.
