Slow clap for this stunning example of a passive construction /1 
Person who literally writes media headlines, at acknowledged pinnacle of determining what constitutes "news" that's "fit to print" presents headlines as self scribed. /2
"Voters don't care about X" (wherein X is basically the total seizure of our most fundamental freedoms - take your pick which) is a failure of media to inform voters about X. /3
And, campaigns, instead of viewing "voters don't care about X" as proof that SHIT we must be way more forceful in bringing X to the fore because - hi - when we did we were wooing voters - decide, let's just not talk about X. /4
You win by SETTING THE TERMS OF DEBATE. If you want to be a leader, you need to, go first. /5
Unengaged people are now finally tuning into election and contemplating what they'll do. When we were forcefully arguing that Dems will #ProtectOurFreedoms and Trumpists will take away everything you hold dear, we were ascending. Need to repeat this for newly engaged to hear. /6
It is not the job of one team to ensure all players abide by the rules of the game. This is why there are rules and referees in the first place. It cannot and must not fall to Democrats only to protect, defend and ensure democracy. /7
Yet media report "democracy is eroding" when folks in media are actively digging away the dirt that sustains it. Informing the electorate about what is happening AND who is behind it forms the roots that anchor any semblance of democracy.
