I make this mistake constantly too but it is fun how often you hear from the pros how bad the Democratic Party “brand” is right now when really you can just lose the word brand

You can lose the word Party too and adjust the suffix…..it’s Democracy as a concept that is suffering because too much money and influence against it.
True, "branding" is one aspect of overall quality, but they might be good at other things outside of general public perception, like fundraising, substantive agenda, candidate recruitment, etc. Of course, they aren't good at any of those things either.
They dont raise money or have candidates? "Substantive" is willdy opinion based and pretty worthless.
Im noticing more and more that the left complains with no names. Zero ideas. Just random "man 'they' say dems are bad, but dems actually worse." "They" being "pros" or "talking heads" or "the elite". And i dotn think anyone has a clue what any of this really means.
Congressional Democrats have been overly cooperative with this administration's goals with little to no pushback since January 20. Several of them voted for his nominees, a slap in the face. 1/
Why aren't they all on the Capitol steps making a huge fucking deal about the military takeover of DC? Why don't they impeach, keep talking about his criminality, and all the raping nonstop, 24/7, until it drives him mad? There are a plethora of ways Dems in Congress can drive the man insane. 2/
It is obvious they are too pure for Machiavellianism, which is what is called for now. Who is fighting dirty among Congressional Democrats? Where is leadership? Out to fucking lunch. As well, a bunch of them voting against Bernie's resolution for stopping military aid to Israel? Insane.
Votes mean nothing as gop has control. They could do rallies and have done them in the past. But people have to work, they can't do it every day. It's just a huge pile of random unrealistic shit that you just make up off the top of your head and dont give a shit if it even makes sense.
Every single Dem senator voted for Rubio. Significant numbers of them voted for a bunch of Tru*p's nominees. Why vote for a fascist's nominees? Why bail out republicans in March by helping them pass their budget? Why stand up for Netanyahu? Why not be uncooperative, instead of bipartisan?
Well, I dont love those votes. But most, except for rubio, were made by the same right leaning dems. And also, while I didn't like it at the time, I have to admit that allowing the budget to pass allows EVERYTHING to be put on trump. If we fought it, trump would blame it all on our fight.
I don’t know what Democratic leaders are supposed to do but I wish they would do it. Is there nothing even symbolic they can do?
They do some "symbolic" things, and everyone says "no, not performative do something real." And really the governors are the only ones with power right now, and folks seem to be excited by what pritzker and newsom are doing.
It’s true. The fact that people (or any given person) aren’t aware of it means (I’m beginning to believe) that there’s no evidence of it on TikTok. If it doesn’t go viral then it might as well not exist.
Fire the goddamn consultants and speak from the gut.
Impassioned, sincere speeches. Lots of them, from lots of Democratic leaders, so that the sheer number of them can’t be ignored. They need to be “shocking” enough to go viral. I’ll buy that.
Yes!!! The key word is "shocking." Hit all at once, one right after the other. I don't have to be in love with Gavin Newsom to appreciate he knows exactly how to trigger him. Now imagine if every congressional D did that AT THE SAME TIME. But with their own unique twist. No copycats. And BE SEVERE.
Are you a Democrat? If so, why don't you help? If not, why don't you help?
woo hot take
