People often claim that the Democrats’ messaging is weak. I guess I can get that, especially vis-à-vis what happened late last week, with enough Republicans voting against the PACT Act* for it to fail.
What we, the Dems, need is some people like Jon Stewart to
raise a little lot of hell.
If Dems “came out swinging” on the issues they feel passionate about,
maybe it could get the media’s attention.
(So far, Beto O’Rourke is one of the few passionate Dems I’ve seen. And he is still lagging in the polls behind
bastard Greg Abbott for Governor of Texas.)
Yes, we Dems need outrage.
We need passion. We need to call
a Republican spade a Republican spade. Call them out! Make a scene.
That always get the media’s attention, since the media always goes where
the trouble goes. But Jon is making “good
trouble.” And without media, our messages,
especially “good trouble messages” go nowhere.
Well said, Jon (warning, strong language):
-Does America owe the veterans,
less than 1% of the population, anything?
-Does not passing the PACT Act
disgust you as much as it disgusts me?
-Am I just blowing off some
steam here? (Oh, you betcha!)
