2. Can the Democrats PLEASE hire The Lincoln Project folks?

Democrats are historically terrible at messaging. Offend no one, go high. So sick of their meekness. Yes they have gotten more tough with their responses, but sorry, the bar is now much higher. They are still sounding like this is 2015, and Trump and his Republican sycophants ushering a new age of fascism are only some mild quazi threat.

This is just ONE example of how any freshman, who may not be charismatic at all, should be able to use this as a huge weapon against Republicans and DeSantis. They need the willingness first to be more aggressive, and second they need a professional and talented ad team.

Its how it is framed. TLP knows how to go to full Def Con 1 with their ads. Not afraid to call a traitor a traitor. But the DNC just hasn't been able to cross that bridge. A bridge too far. Don't use incendiary language or make them look too bad. My gawd you'd think they were CNN executives.
