Over mainstream media and social media. Democrats are not *fighting* back against this. They need chest thumpers and people who can communicate at the level of average Americans.

AOC spoke about the gist of this:
Screenshot of message from AOC saying: I think when we tell the truth about what Republicans are doing, and when we're unafraid to do that, it generates momentum. When we lean into the momentum that we generate, and when Democrats aren't afraid to throw a damn punch, then we can see that we can yield results. I don't believe that we should, you know, cower in the face of tough issues. I think people are looking for strength. And the reason why I think some folks in the Democratic Party have felt like trans issues are hot water, or immigration issues are hot water, is because they haven't felt confident, or the ability to confidently throw a punch on solid ground that is persuasive and uniting people. When we just show people how a bill like this doesn't just hurt trans girls, which is a problem, it hurts all girls; and when we show that a bunch of men who are letting women die in parking lots should not be trusted, it's like letting foxes into the henhouse; when we call it out aggressively, we're able to bring people together. I think people smell blood in the water. They can understand weakness. And where they see weakness, that's when everything kind of falls apart. So we have to be strong about these things. And I think projecting strength attracts support.
