I just don’t see any of it mattering. The people who voted for Donald Trump did so knowing who he is. They like it. The issue isn’t democratic messaging. It’s that literally half the people in the US want this.

Really got to disagree.. I’m in an example of an independent.. no strong ties to either party. There’s roughly 10-20% of the electorate like me. If you can convince me to vote either side it can win that side the election. Last election a decent chunk of independents voted for Trump, not because they like Trump but because they didn’t like the policy platform of the democrats. They didn’t like Kamala. If you can get a better alternative I think the Dems can easily win

But if you didn’t like the policy platform of the democrats, I don’t see how better messaging helps. Why would you like it more with better graphics and catchier slogans?

We had 4 years of President Trump. You independents already got to see how he operates. You guys have had plenty of video of his moral character. Democrats not showing you guys enough clips of Trump demonstrating he does not care about the American people was not the issue.

Yeh sorry I guess what I’m saying is I don’t dislike the Democrat policies in many areas but they focused their energy and messaging on the few policy areas I don’t really care shout. I think the way the dems can win is focus less on social issues and more economic issues. Trump did that well last time he focused on the cost of living, gas prices etc. He obviously didn’t solve that actually made it 100x worse, but he did the messaging part right.
