(50,949 posts)And we have two choices: we can either ignore it and continue to let them frame all the narratives, so that the average voter continues to believe they are the fiscally responsible, family values party for example, or we can learn how to message well ourselves so we can override some of the conservative owned media and get out the message that we are the ones in the right.
And no, there is no reason we would have to go to similar lows. The lows are their message, not their methods. We want to copy their methods, definitely not the tenor of their message. Their methods are a disciplined, constant and ubiquitous repetition. We could certainly do that and get some eyes and ears on actual facts rather than the crap they spew.
And you're wrong about no one believing that about Hillary. I personally am aware of a group of young, uninformed voters who stayed home because they hated the republican shithole, but they also didn't want to vote for a "lady pedophile." Who knows how many others are out there like them?
