Democrats Are Terrible at Talking About MAGA Crimes: Especially when it comes to crime, which Republicans hope will feature a prominent role in November, the GOP and its allies excel at dictating the narrative — even though their own record on the issue is actually very troubling.

The problem is that when Republicans talk about crime, they're not talking about crime. They're talking about racism. Tough on crime has always meant lock up colored people.

Democrats constantly bring a 50-page policy white paper to a knife fight. The GOP just throws dirt, screams about crime, and easily wins the entire news cycle. It's exhausting to watch.

Dems could have better messaging I guess. But huge portions of the electorate simply don’t seem to care when Trump and Republicans lie and commit crimes. And that’s not even just the Republican voter base, it’s centrists and swing voters too. Dems DO talk about what Republicans are doing, those voters just don’t care. 

This is so true. Our old leaders are not emphasizing enough on social media. They still live in old days whereas the world has changed so much in many ways.

Dem campaign ads in my state won't even mention that the maga candidate for governor was a fake elector.

Republicans break the law, then run on law and order it’s like hiring the fox to guard the henhouse.

The GOP protects the corrupt pedophiles, the greedy billionaires, the foreign dictators. They hate Americans.

Attention Democrats: the other side rapes kids. If you can’t control the narrative, step aside.

January 6th happened. Do you think people didn’t understand that?   And we elected Trump anyway, in part because of bullshit excuses blaming Democrats for everything and nothing.  F*** that. If you don’t like Republican crime vote for Democrats and encourage others to do the same.  People who do otherwise are part of the problem, not the solution.

The Democrats are controlled opposition. Losses due to Wage theft dwarf all other property crimes (robberies, burglaries, motor vehicle thefts) combined. When is the last time you heard a corporate Democrat mention it? They don't care about your life, they care about your vote.

The issue is also the massive media propaganda. GOP is unafraid to break rules or stretch them to get their ways, while Dems always try to reach a consensus which does no longer applies. Look at Fetterman, u can never get a GOP senator to use a crucial vote for a Dem., but there is always a Dem. willing to do it for a Repub..

Dems think that talking about policy and facts is enough. But no one can hear any of that through the GOP noise. So you have to cut through the noise first, and you can only do that by beating the GOP at its own game. You have to fight fire with fire. Then you can talk policy.

Where are the Dems yelling “sleepy don” ffs

Democrats are terrible. The end

It doesn't feel worthwhile because of the double standards, people simply don't care when Republicans are malicious or incompetent. Look at the "cognitive decline" stuff. When Republicans brought it up it was a major issue with Biden with significant impact on the national conversation and the election - but it doesn't stick it all to Trump despite Trump's own overt decline. The same is true with crime, Republicans are just expected to be shitty people and it doesn't particularly affect them so it doesn't feel worthwhile to hammer on it.

Democrats NEED to get better at their messaging, their campaign ads, and I think WE should reach out to them and inform them!! Snippet: * During her press conference on Monday, Karoline Leavitt didn’t want to answer questions about the high price of diesel, why Donald Trump threatened Iran with war crimes, or the military’s alleged use of landmines. What she did want to talk about, however, was one of the many murders that are committed in the US every single day. Specifically, it was the killing of Sheridan Gorman, an 18-year-old college student who was fatally shot on March 19 ONLY because an immigrant killed her. Never mind that multiple studies have shown that immigrants commit crimes and are incarcerated at a much lower rate than people born in the US. Obviously, Gorman’s death is a tragedy. Every homicide is, and the taking of a young life seems especially tragic. * All of this highlights how good **Republicans** are at what we call the “anecdotization of the news.” If reality and facts aren’t on their side, **they simply find a story that “confirms” their desired narrative.** * Democrats, on the other hand, are typically bad at drawing attention to damning facts about their electoral rivals. * **They should, for example, highlight the case of Andrew Paul Johnson**, who was convicted and sentenced to life in prison for multiple sex crimes he perpetrated against at least one kid under the age of 12 and another under the age of 16. * Johnson, who has a long criminal history, was among those sentenced for his involvement in Trump’s January 6, 2021, insurrection. According to his arrest report, he told the victims that, if they stayed quiet, he would share the millions of dollars he expected to be awarded as part of his pardon. * Why don’t Democrats highlight his case, and the fact that he was at large because he was pardoned for crimes committed on January 6 — especially since Republicans claim to care so much about sex crimes against minors? * Johnson is far from the only insurrectionist who is either facing new charges or has already been convicted for crimes committed after being pardoned by Trump.

NOT really The Midas Touch Occupy Democrat cover Trump administration crimes and Steve Schmidt the Warning Were I get my marching orders from

Republicans own the media. What do you expect?

The Democrats have not had a resonate economic message for the country in 30 years. Ever since the 3rd way era of the 90s when they all adopted the same pro corporate message as the GOP they have had nothing to offer the vast majority of Americans on the most significant issue in every election cycle. Its why Dems have only be able to win nationally off the backs of GOP failures rather than there own policy proposals. Obviously there are numerous issues that people should care about like the GOP actively protecting the largest child sex trafficking ring in modern history. But when people cannot afford food or shelter they cannot really afford to care about anything else. You even see it in how Dem leadership have approached elections in the past 25-30 years. They have completely abandoned large swaths of the country as completely unwinnable and focus more an more on smaller and smaller areas around major cities and trying to win over the mythical moderate suburban voter. There winning formula requires them to win like 90% of the vote in a major city just to counteract the fact that they don't even compete in most places in a state. That is not a sustainable strategy and it has shown in the past 3 presidential races. It also makes them incredibly easy targets for GOP gerrymandering when all you have to do is break up the major city into like 5 pieces. The more you look at how the democrats have acted politically over the past 30 years you genuinely have to ask yourself if they have even tried to win at any point post 2000 because every Dem victory had nothing to do with the Democrats as a party the GOP opposition could have been the kick puppies and f*** America party and they would probably win outside of maybe 2012.

The right and left wings of the American capitalist party work together to oppress the citizens of America and the world.

Democrats do not know how to message. That’s Politics 101, and they can’t even f****** do that.

It doesn’t matter what the Democrats bring because the people who need convinced are in a bubble of right wing media.
