“People have to believe that you’re going to actually be a solution to their problems.” @anatosaurus.bsky.social in @newrepublic.com

Tuesday’s election results could suggest that the party is finally settling on a coherent, effective economic message. But the Democrats have blown these opportunities before.

Check out this exchange with @anatosaurus.bsky.social on why the Democrats need to get real and strengthen their language when describing the regime the GOP is imposing on America. The word "pedophile" comes up. As it should.

Along with setting the agenda to be favorable to Democratic candidates, we need to blunt the GOP's "issues" by literally PERFORMING our own narrative. Spoiler alert: @anatosaurus.bsky.social cites The Portland Frog and the other inflatables.

According to @anatosaurus.bsky.social , Democrats spend too much time polling and not enough time setting the agenda. Not the GOP. Setting the agenda means the political battle is fought on the terms of the Party setting the agenda.

Very smart Democratic Strategist, and brilliant messaging guru @anatosaurus.bsky.social says Democrats have to start using strong language to get people's' attention. You can't persuade anyone if they are not listening. Some examples.
