Great story from @frankietaggart.bsky.social at @afpfr.bsky.social about the disaster that is the Democratic Party's communications operation. Message discipline and simple language are Comms 101 staples. It's past time for "the resistance" to learn it.

This is an insane stat: 40% of girls/women 15-44 would leave the U.S. if they could. 20% of men (likely skewing high in education, skills, ethics, employability, anti-Nazi) too.
The next generation of American men will be incels if they don’t figure out the basics about respect for women
