    Trump promised lowered prices (lied as always) and Dems just said that the economy is doing great. Poor people tend to not have as much time or extra energy to spend on politics. It is a leopard eats face moment and I don’t entirely blame them…I just hope the wake-up call isn’t too late

    Messaging is important and “Liberty Forever” sounds like another Ponzi scheme instead of just cutting the bs and being honest. Distrust is a major issue and adding convoluted layers to messaging that isn’t helping. It’s like saying the economy is great while people can’t afford anything get pissed and disagree. Economy as defined has little to do with quality of life. Most people don’t understand economy != quality of life. See DNC 2024. Trying to smoke & mirror your message is dishonest and will ultimately fail.

    Cut the layers of bullshit and be honest. It worked in the NYC primary and you’d have to be a fool (or disingenuous) to throw that data wayside

    None of that offers any direction or a path to change. It is limp messaging that say well maybe someone somehow can grow change in a system designed to squash dissenting ideas.

    People need an actual positive direction to head. You’re just repeating the talking points that have not done anything for people and keep the conversation in a safe place for the political elites.

    This is “thoughts & prayers” for socialism and its screams complacency

    That’s why the message of socialism needs to talked about and use the actual word socialism. Stop the limp messaging and be bold or continue to embrace lying to your base (both parties guilty).

    The ruling class would prefer you to keep using “socialism” in quotes

    Small business stimulus and 1st time home buyers credits are not something that affect the majority of voters. That is more out of touch neolib policy bs

    People don’t have money to start a biz or buy a house. And just building 3 mil homes is a drop in the bucket that doesn’t actually help.

    Edit: yes, the genocide in Gaza is still a thing that Americans shouldn’t be funding…especially when we can’t afford anything at home

    That mentality is why trump is in office again. If they didn’t keep embracing the corrupt neoliberal “we stand for nothing” vision, they might be able to salvage the party.

    Back the blue no matter what, unless… is a joke. The DNC needs to work for the people, not the other way around.
