I am going to treasure the moment when maga and Fox News try to point out how Newsom is insane and has lost it as they attempt to dissect his tweets.

 

Also, Trump took the bait way too easy by sending ICE to Newsom’s presser.

I agree, but you also have to go with what is effective and what is effective is what riles them up, gets them off message, and resort to (more) petty name calling instead of focusing on their agenda. fine if some of those others catch on too, but at least maybe start with what worked before

Weird isn’t good enough phrase. You have to paint them as villains, full stop. Call them nazis, traitors, cowards, pussies, who gives a shit. They need to be villainized.

They wear all that as a badge of honor. We are post shame now. “Weird” was working ok. Something along those lines would be good.

Moving to the center no longer makes sense in a general election. If it ever did. Credit for his recent social media game, but fuck Gavin.

The party that condones pedophilia should rightfully be called the Pedo Party. Time to go full on with rhetoric based on what they have allowed to lead their party/cult. The time for being nice to anyone that supports it has long since passed.

Newsom should have moved the PC out to where the agents were and harassed the fuck out of them

It’s good to be in the center during an election. It’s bad to be moderate. Those things are not the same. That’s what the consultant class doesn’t understand. I have this conversation with a democratic operative friend of mine who still thinks Democrats need to “moderate,” and that’s wrong. Democrats need to occupy the center. Right now the center is angry.

They also need to start calling Trump and his minions gutless cowards.  Over and over.  Goad them.  Yellow cowards.  Gutless.  Nutless.  Weak.  Pathetic.  Use the words hundreds, thousands of time.  Push them into an uncontrollable rage....because that's when idiots like them make huge mistakes.

They also need to start making fun of their hair.

I’m sure that’s open to critique as making a complex problem seem simple, but I really think it’s this basic.  
 

And it’s math-you make your surveys and broadcast you’re about what’s popular.

Unfortunately, how to accomplish that is the underlying issue currently dividing the Democratic Party.

Chuck Schumer is the guy to figure it out after 30 plus years of winning elections!!!!

Simply promoting policies that benefit the working class did not work in the last election.  We need someone who is able to effectively verbalize to them why the Republican Party is bad for them, and there's really only one person so far who has attempted to grab the megaphone.

Their message was stupid and you don’t promote policies, you promote a message. They were talking about the stock markets in terms of economy and details of policy. Shit the working average person doesn’t give two shits about.

Except when Republicans are in power. Then it's the perfect indicator of how the economy is doing

I think it's important to distinguish people who may have a centrist approach who don't necessarily feel a kinship with the wealthy Dem establishment.  There are centrists who want progress, and the Dem establishment fell asleep on the job and lost labor, lost safety and security, and allowed themselves to be painted as bad on the economy.

I'm for massive immigration but with rigid controls.  I'm pro-law enforcement but holding them to the highest standards.  I think we should be radically affirmative action based on economic need and lack of economic opportunity and think that should replace any race-based criteria. (That might look Republican-y a few decades ago, but calling anything Republican-y is literally just saying you are pro-mendacity and pro-corruption and anti-Constitution.)

But even more important than those policy preferences is rule of law and separation of powers and ethical standards.  I'm for the most progressive tax system possible without clearly harming the economy.  I'm libertarian on most issues and want some more gun regulation.  I want the fucking old-Testament religious nationalists crucified on 35 between West and Waco.  

I few that as relatively centrist.  The Dem Establishment blew their chance to get us there and we might just have to build back better with Progressives. Any alternative is a non-starter.

We haven't ever lived in an easier time to pick the correct side.
