I don't think the reliance on political comms teams has served us all that well frankly! I say this as a Democratic consultant!

You might be surprised to find most people these days aren't going to see that as a bona fide.

And we see YOUNG Dems out there with cracker jack comms teams, but that can't possibly extrapolate to the party at large, nope, nope, must be the dumb voters who are very dumb.

Really? Because it's working gangbusters for Newsom.

That would depend on the team, yes? Seems like a lot of REGIONAL candidates aren't having that problem.

I'm sure that's supposed to mean something but I'm honestly 50/50 on whether or not the answer is going to be interesting or annoying.

A Democratic consultant who apparently can't read polls, otherwise you might be advising the same thing the random person on the internet advised.

checking to make sure dipshits who don't know anything don't like my posts is literally part of my persistent sanity check so thanks for this

Funnily enough, I didn't actually believe you were a Democratic consultant until this post. Now I'm sure.

I'm sorry, is this supposed to be "snarky funny" ? Cause it just comes across as arrogant and demeaning.

"I know it's illegal on here to notice ... " is how you literally opened your OP, and then "So you admit you're part of the problem" (followed by a laughing smiley) is too hard to handle? Really, I don't know what to say tbh...

Yes, if someone is going to call me "part of the problem" they need to be willing to also hear something rude in response, correct

y'all lost two of the easiest layup elections the world has ever seen. you and your colleagues have an unmatched talent for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, but you're upset at being called part of the problem?

Another low-info lefty repeating the "layup" lie. Trump's owned the GOP base ever since 2015. He's the ultimate product of the Southern Strategy; the sooner class reductionist lefties see that, the better. Trump easily won the '16 GOP nom despite being outspent at least 10-1 by Jeb, Rubio et al...

...and it's because he had (and still has) the press in his pocket and the willingness to dispense with code words and be openly bigoted. Being openly bigoted wins white voters more than any economic or class-based strategy ever has:

So you think an incredibly condescending person posting a screenshot of a Republican senator opinion piece in a right wing newspaper is the better strategy?
