just every day watching the right fill up the information vacuum while the left isn't even trying. it would be one thing if they were trying and facing obstacles. but they don't even try.
like even the dumbest house republicans are out there understanding that they need to make a point about the days news events. how you can sit there and let greene and boebert out-strategize you?
if a bear fell from the top of the empire state building, republicans would understand its an opportunity to say "see the biden economy is so bad, bears want to end it all." and maybe you think this is beneath you but it really shouldn't be. its politics 101.
Why Are Democrats So Bad At Getting A Message Out? (And How To Fix It) oliverwillis.com/why-are-democr…
i regularly see house and senate republicans, completely out of power, proposing absurdist legislation in response to biden. why? because they know it will generate coverage and interest.
this hardly happened under gop control in the early 2000s and 2017-18 w dems

democrats have this weird thing where most of them believe they can only offer legislation that has a realistic chance to pass. by contrast markey/aoc introduced ideas w green new deal that wont pass in a bill but have affected the national conversation. DUH.
the response to this is "but republicans attacked GND." yeah and they attack biden for *breathing*. they will always attack. theres no dem strategy that preempts GOP attacks. so why not offer something to rally your supporters so theyre not swamped out by Republicans? wild i know
i honest to god dont know how anyone could have lived through 8 years of gop attacks on obama and think theres some magical sequence of words and events that would stop republicans from attacking. dems dont need to give them an opening. theyre always attacking.
