Democrats are missing something that is arguably a prerequisite for ideological messaging to have any effect whatsoever: a media apparatus that can get these messages in front of swing voters.
We only need a propagand machine to trick people.
The whole country just united over a dude killing a CEO. We’d unite over actual progressive policy too.
Propaganda machines are a replacement to manufacturer interest, we can just run on a platform that’s already interesting to voters.
Like, this author is fucking Hung up on print newspapers for some reason, and wants the party to literally make a propaganda machine…
Democratic funders could set up new local papers in strategic counties, or buy up some of the remaining husks and staff them up. I would just put together a bog-standard paper with some liberal editorials, but one could make it tabloid-y or explicitly partisan to taste
It’s fucking insane. No one should be listening to this person for any reason.
Anyone that claims newspaper are important for elections really…
Everyone who isn’t a billionaire hates billionaires. They hate big companies and they hate rich assholes.
If the Dems went after them in meaningful, blunt terms people would listen.
But they won’t because they need to pay their political consultants a billion fucking dollars to tell them to do the bidding of billionaires and large companies.
I bet if he was the one telling everyone to unite and work to overthrow the incoming fascist corporate takeover people would listen and free the USA from the overreach of insecure man-boys.
Still missing the entire point:

I don’t think I’ve ever met one of these swing voters, and I don’t think they are the problem.
