In reply to the discussion: What's wrong with our 'messaging'? [View all]panader0
(25,816 posts)28. I disagree. I am not enamored by "glitz". You may be.
"play their own game better to defeat them"??? No thanks. Their game is lying and denying facts

elected Joe Biden by over 7 million votes. Government shouldn't be something that should be "sold".
