General Discussion

I will die on that hill.

Messaging is providing a plan and an actual way to improve people's lives. It is giving people a reason to vote FOR something instead of voting to hurt some one else and leave them alone.

The infrastructure of the media is not messaging. It is propagandizing and lying. It is false advertising at best and blatant lying at worst. It is what allows "a concept of a plan" to garner more votes than "securing the rights of a woman to control her own body".

Being able to ween themselves off of the Trump outrage machine and constantly chasing the newest "this is what Trump said today" coverage is the fault of the media... they NEVER have demanded an answer to his original sin - the elevate speech calling Mexicans "rapists and murderers and some, I guess, are good people". THAT was disqualifying in and of itself, yet he was not forced to CONSTANTLY defend it at every single turn.

E-mails.
Interviews.

Blatant insanity and outrage machine...

It was never a fair fight and it was not message but choice of coverage and THAT is on the media as much as on the Democratic Party...
