General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Why are folks so demoralized by Ossoff's loss? [View all]as I responded just now, here is what I said, and I believe it fits for your inquiry too.
The messaging of this party is old, its outdated, it leaves many who want help out. Lets look at the midwest voters who went Trump... Ohio, Wisc, PA...coal country, blue collar... how many times did the Democrats seek out their votes...? not much. MESSAGING IS CHANGING.... The message of every democrat now should be THE REPUBLICANS ARE FUCKING YOU OUT OF HEALTHCARE.... ram it home, push it hard, keep it in EVERYONES face EVERYONE... its not a local or regional thing its a NATIONAL thing....My healthcare now in Maryland should not be different from anyone who voted Republican last night in Georgia. Healthcare, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security.... these are national issues, not regional. Time to push hard on all fronts, People get sick EVERYWHERE, some people are poor in EVERY STATE. Citizens become seniors in ALL of this country.
"We are for the white straight rich male?" well these guys didn't vote democrat.
Republican scare the shit out of their voters... democrats need to do that too, but in a caring way, not propaganda like the Trump reign
You want people to listen, scare them about healthcare, diabetes, weigh issues, cutting their funds, no money for their social programs, social security is getting cut, medicare is getting cut, Banking is about to go to shit.... the are eliminating much of DODD-FRANK, regulations to protect your money, your water, your health are being overturned. Show them photo of Flint water supply....this is the message that need to be sent to all states....because these are all states problem. OR
or we can just do what we have been doing the past 4 years and watch the senate and house kill our families.... because with the GOP in charge, thats what going to happen... it may not be in the papers or on DU or MSNBC, but there are going to be seniors who will go with medication and die. There are going to be immigrants deported back to countries where they will be in danger, there will be more cost cutting /safety cutting on food, water, textiles, etc.
