Did you know the Democratic Party was bad at messaging?
If you believe the pundits, news reports and the media outlets who manufactured the phrase “economic anxiety,” so they wouldn’t have to describe Donald Trump as “racist,” Kamala Harris would have succeeded President Hillary Clinton if the Democratic Party were better at telling stories.
According t…
o Ezra Klein and other celebrated sayers of stuff, Democrats are terrible at convincing white people to not be racist. Meanwhile, Republicans are great at convincing a diverse group of uneducated, white people that the GOP is the answer to problems like anti-white racism, protecting constitutional rights, ending the weaponization of the DOJ, promoting Christian values and unifying the country. Why is the GOP so good at conveying its message about small government, family values, fiscal responsibility and patriotism?
Sure, it’s all lies, but why can’t Democrats bullshit as well as Republicans? When will they stop talking about climate change, social justice and taxing the rich? Will they ever realize that facts, science and reality don’t work with people who like Confederate flags, AR-15s and Elon Musk? Why are they so opposed to sprinkling a little racism in their talking points? Just look at how the Democrats’ messaging has shifted the electorate since 1994:
Ok, according to the actual facts, nothing has really changed in the last 30 years. But there must be a problem. Ezra Klein said it!
I’ve verified the Democratic Party’s inability to convey its message to voters with the same political media outlets that collectively accept the GOP’s white supremacist narratives. I don’t think the institutions that warned us about the rise of “wokeness” and the dangers of critical race theory would collectively echo Republican talking points just because a few white people said it. I tuned in to “Morning Joe” a few days ago and heard Pulitzer Prize-losing journalist Joe Scarborough discussing this objectively true fact with experts like Donny Douche, that white man who looks like Hey Arnold (you know, the one who makes the charts) and another white man.
My reporting is not just not based exclusively on Caucasian sentiments. I’ve heard about the Democratic Party’s messaging problems from seasoned political experts like Stephen A. Smith, Amanda Seales and all those white ladies who got jobs after MSNBC’s DEI purge got rid of actual Black journalists. When Abby Philip said it on CNN, Scott Jennings and the guy from Shark Tank shook their heads in agreement, while the legislative scholar who teaches people how to do jumping Jacks almost gave a Hitler salute. Why would she lie?
The media might be reluctant to tell the truth about Palestine, Charlie Kirk or white people’s racism, but we can trust their reporting on three important stories.
The statistically insignificant number of Black men who voted for Trump
How 10 trans people threaten 510,000 collegiate athletes
The Democratic Party’s messaging.
The situation is so dire that I had no choice but to discuss it.
