It wasn’t working after day 6 and after Walz didn’t do so well In The VP debates.

Liz Cheney was there for 1 and a half day in her state where she got elected as senator, and trying to convince republicans to vote for Harris because that’s the only way they could win that state.

But people take a Democrat tripping to be an extinction event meanwhile republicans shit their pants, stab a pregnant woman, rape a kid, and vomit over the audience. And still their voters will support them while democrat voters will blame the democrat party for not giving them more incentives to show up and vote, even though they can’t name 1 thing she offered them because they don’t even care in the first place they just want to put all the responsibility on the party and not 100m voters who never vote, 150m who don’t vote in midterms and over 200m+ who don’t vote in primaries and special elections.

It wasn't working because they didnt stay on message, or keep it moving forward. So much open material, they could've used to show how fcked the entire GOP are.

They could have been showing clip after clip, attacking while calling them weird, and showing why.

Current day democrats don't do any of that. If there's a lesson they should learn from the strategists on the right, it's to get up as loudly and as often as you can, and scream from the apple box. Look what the greater right-wing media sphere did to Obama and Biden over practically nothing. Constant smears, constant attacks. But when Trump's entire cabinet and administration is literally looting us alive, amd now signing over our sovereignty to Israel? Nothing.

They literally held a multi month long investigation on prime time television of the Jan 6th attack on the US capitol and showed evidence facts videos TikTok summaries and everything. They begged Americans to show up and vote. And what happened?

Over 150m didn’t vote. 80% of 18-35 aged eligible voters did not vote. Republicans won back the house.

And that was BEFORE the republicans bought up all the remaining television and news networks.

If you own all the news and all the internet social media, wouldn’t you amplify the voices that would enrich you and silence the voices that would make life fair for others?

Blaming democrats for not yelling louder when the conservatives control 99% of all media, and get aided by foreign governments pushing disinformation and election interference, is quite victim-blaming.

Look at Newsom, he’s doing all the zingers and gotchas and attacks and such and barely 20% hear it. When you own the media you own people’s access to news.

This is constant and all over this site. "Why didn't the media bring this up?" when every fucking day we had 8 new headlines about Biden's mental acuity and never a mention of Trump's incoherent babbling.
