I need to agree with DJ here. Having people turn out right after a presidential election is rough. The point that people will tell 20 friends about a bad experience but only 1 friend about a good experience is what I believe happened. That being said, GET ON MESSAGE DEMS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

I need to agree with DJ here. Having people turn out right after a presidential election is rough. The point that people will tell 20 friends about a bad experience but only 1 friend about a good experience is what I believe happened. That being said, GET ON MESSAGE DEMS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! Can I get a story about a black honor roll student who aced every test in a virtual public school system (despite the CRT noise)? Can I get a story about an out-of-work white Steam Fitter who will spend the next decade turning his local bridge into a marvelous piece of work? Can I get a story about a rural town that was rebuilt and is now thriving by Mexican immigrants? Your plan is to talk about a bill you signed and tie the world to Trump? Aint nobody tryna hear that @#$%!. Is the Bulwark microphone on?!
The huge challenge for Dems is they don't have an entire media apparatus that will report only what they want reported. Fox News spent all of 15 seconds -- literally! -- on Steve Bannon but did multiple spots *per hour* about CRT.
Fox News is not all of right wing media, but they are part of the Brietbart/Daily Wire/Daily Caller axis that dominates Facebook, and they all take cues from each other as to what to talk about and, more importantly, what NOT to talk about.
CNN and the NY Times may be left leaning, but they report bad news all the time. Worse, grifters like Tucker Carlson cite NYT reporting regularly. They do very little real reporting of their own.
