Chris Murphy 🟧 This is true. And until the left builds an infrastructure to confront this reality

This is true. And until the left builds an infrastructure to confront this reality - and stops acting like political communication is still just buying millions of TV and digital ads every two years - we are cooked.

Watters: We are waging a 21st century information warfare campaign against the left…What you're seeing on the right is asymmetrical… Someone says something on social media, Musk retweets it, Rogan podcasts it, Fox broadcasts it.. and by the time it reaches everybody, millions of people have seen it.








Yep.

1. And tens of millions of Americans will believe it no matter how outlandish

2. Infrastructure costs money.

I doubt the $1.5 billion the Harris campaign spent would do very much for infrastructure. We are piggybacking on media and using cell phones for grass roots.

3. We missed opportunities decades ago.

Local radio for one.....and we must change our platform.

I was stunned when I saw this from Gov. Shapiro. Cutting taxes is the goal to brag about??

The more we try to be a milder form of the GOP, the longer we will fail.

Governor Josh Shapiro
@GovernorShapiro
I am a Democratic Governor with a plan to aggressively cut taxes for businesses by $10.5 billion by 2029 — and I am ready to work with Democrats and Republicans to get it done.

4. He wants to keep the dogs at bay and keep businesses in PA

Unless we motivate, reward a progressive left, the party will look to middle-right businesses to create jobs.

Harris thought home business loans would get it done but the pool of ordinary voters looking to start a job and take advantage of a $50k tax credit is slim. Working folks don't have the entrepreneurship mindset. Mostly that credit would have gone to corporate wives dabbling in Main Street startups. Few new Democratic voters in other words.

We focus on soccer moms, than suburban moms. Many working people don't have lawns, curbs, Home owners associations. They worry about rent, gas, food, a new cell phone, but aren't eligible for SNAP or assistance. We need to create opportunity and pave the way with cash.

5. You are correct.

I live in Nebraska. I've been trying to tell Democrats here for decades now that they need a strategy to combat right wing talk radio. There are two right wing radio stations in the heart of Dundee, a very liberal and mostly affluent part of Omaha. Do they get any grief at all from their neighbors? None. Zero.

6. Exactly why Schumer & Jeffries talking about egg prices - still! - is so

frustrating. No serious people are talking about it. It’s faux outrage from the people who want to jail Fauci and trust RFK Jr. about vaccines. Including bird vaccines.
