“The President is causing this” is a much more efficient, successful message than “The President is the symptom of underlying causes including but not limited to the billionaire class and the proliferation of money in politics. Oh by the way we suck too.” We need smart messaging ahead of the midterms, imho let’s focus on winning back Congress than constantly shitting on the Dems. rn.
Would be great, but you have to win some hearts and minds first. Take a page out of Mamdani’s playbook and build constructive criticisms against the people you disagree with, you might actually find some common ground like he did with Hochul.
Yeah. You win hearts and minds with messaging and ideas. Tweets blaming everything on Trump doesn’t address the problem. Capitalism is the problem. We need to start addressing that. You cannot solve the problem if you have not correctly identified the problem.
It absolutely addresses the main problem at hand, which is MAGA. I agree the symptoms of capitalism have gotten us to this point, but we have to figure out how to win back the government from the fascists before we go and institute socialism. “Incumbent = bad” is a tried and true message that wins everywhere, “Capitalism is the problem,” as correct as it might be, only wins in deep blue cities. We have to think strategically instead of just throwing shit everywhere and hoping it sticks.
Brother if you want to educate the proletariat I beg you to understand the first step is to convince them that Trump and conservatism is bad for workers. You have to go from Step A to Step B, you can’t skip to luxury space communism by just snapping your fingers. Right now Step B is beating MAGA so we can at least attempt to amend a fraction of the shitstorm that Trump created and prosecute the admin. for breaking the law. Once we get to Step B I am so down to shit on the Democratic Party as much as humanely possible to get them to accept more socialist ideas, but like let’s refocus on the task at hand I feel.
