The French left just demonstrated precisely how to confront fascism: on offense. Le Pen tried to distance herself from...her own platform - sound familiar? - and the left gave her zero room. /1
They nimbly made an argument across a *very* fractured far left versus center to block the right. Making the personalized perils of fascist rule absolutely clear to even the most disaffected voters. Using humor & history, they made the best of the very short campaign sprint.

In a nutshell - it's better to fight among friends than confront fascism alone. Not making believe everyone gets along on the left (HA!!!) but keeping people's eyes on the actual danger.
To be sure, the french enjoy the dubious advantage of direct lived experience of confronting fascism. But, nevertheless, stories do not tell themselves:

And who needs dessert when this is so delicious?

There is a very dangerous "both sides" happening among disaffected Dem & swing voters not of the usual strain. Not that both parties are same but rather that MAGA is driving us into lake & Dem are failing to put on brakes. So, both sides get us drowned.

Nancy Reagan telling kids to "just say no" ushered in a spike of drug/alcohol use. Hard to imagine what - if actually heard - could better *dissuade* young from voting than being excoriated for not doing so.
What DOES mobisuade young people.../1
1) Apply lessons from Brazilian campaigners in 2022, in a 2 aging ex presidents face-off, increased youth turnout 47% by channeling desire for defiance into voting: wordstowinby-pod.com/speak-yourself/
2) Remind voters landmark advances - Civil Rights, women's suffrage, labor laws, etc - NONE gained via election. Contextualize voting as way we set the FOUNDATION for whether all other tools we require to make change can actually be employed.

What folks are missing in the "does Bragg actually hurt Trump" discourse is the following:
1. Elections are won/lost by millimeters. "Only" 29% (lowest poll) of uncommitted voters saying this flips them is a tsumani. /1
2. Voters don't follow details, nor do they parse specifics. And they've been conditioned to view electoral contests in sweeping narratives, e.g. Morning in America, "Yes We Can," Swift Boat, Romney's 47% elitism.
3. Trump on *criminal* trial, ironically thanks to decades of right wing "tough on crime" propaganda and our penchant for courtroom dramas, telegraphs that he's a criminal.

Here's what we're seeing in focus groups: Double haters contemplating sitting out, third party or skipping top of ticket are often willing to brush aside Trump committing past crimes. But what moves them is contemplating future harms *to them*. /1
This is why it's so vital to call out what Trump is really on trial for in NY criminal case: Voter Deception. That turns "hush money to adult star" case that's background noise of bad thing to the original effort to seize and wield power that set the pattern for his presidency.
When we shift from "Trump is" to "Trump will do" we see palpable difference. Former invites near instant "yeah but Biden is..." Better still? Shift away from election as match between 2 individuals, toward election as decision about 2 futures.

Evergreen pro-tip: Run against your opposition not the "other" your opposition has scapegoated to hide the fact that they're screwing us all. /1
Over and again, we see not merely in data but in actual results that "please all" - i.e. milquetoast messaging intended to be at least inoffensive - ensures you "please none."
When you credit your opposition's arguments and policies, you have conflicted voters hunger for their solutions. You signal two disastrous things:

Dancing to @taylorswift13's "Look what you made me do," in NYE Sexitude class (as one does) and just fully felt the much needed buck the fuck up energy.
@taylorswift13 How dare any of us be cowering in fear before the fascists winning the election? They are a sniveling few and we are beyond the majority.
@taylorswift13 The future is of made of what we do, the decisions we make, the lives we demand to lead.
