General Discussion

But we sure can't find the solution by misidentifying the problem. Falsely claiming it is because Obama did nothing, as the Kunce piece in the OP suggests, is simply adding to the propaganda.

I have not heard many actual solutions from anybody, other than one person in this thread who suggested getting a charismatic male for our next presidential candidate. I assume the thinking is that such a man would be able to overcome the sea of GOP propaganda by using his charisma, like Obama did, to garner more media and online attention than Harris could, without being hobbled by sexism as she was. I am not sure we have anyone like that in our stable. Another person suggested the candidate needs to go on Joe Rogan's podcast and say he'd do everything differently from Biden, in essence validating the GOP propaganda.

Certainly expanding our social media and podcast engagement makes sense, but running away from or maligning Democratic accomplishments is self-defeating. We need to up our messaging to be much more simple, pointed and powerful, given the mentality of 49% of voters. We need to hammer that the GOP is just there to give tax cuts to the rich, at our expense, starving our police, schools, national parks and roads of tax money. And we need to repeatedly hammer that only Democrats have ever instituted programs that help working people (Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, ACA, minimum wage, CHIPS Act). Our Democratic candidates should be passionately rattling off those very true talking points every time they get in front of a microphone the way Republicans do with their bullshit talking points. Repetition is key.

I have no idea if the tsunami of GOP propaganda can be overcome. All we can do is try. We must try. There is certainly room for improvement on that front.

What I do know is that repeating false right wing talking points sure as fuck won't make us win, which is all the articles in the OP are doing with their Dem bashing.
