Maybe bringing back the FCC Fairness Doctrine so they wouldn't be so easily manipulated in to voting against their own (and 99% of everyone else's) best interests? I just want people to act rationally a little more often. Nobody's perfect, but holy shit storming state and national capital buildings because your guy lost and the other folks are telling you to do a few things in the name of public health and safety?? I definitely want to figure out how help people think and act rationally again..

The Great Resignation ‘21
FCC FD was not applicable to cable. Only broadcast. So fox was gonna fox regardless. Although I don’t think it was a bad thing to have such a policy in place in the past. Letting networks combine roll their news divisions into entertainment was not helpful though in keeping quality journalism alive that’s for sure

"Easily manipulated"? Holy shit. I've seen a few interviews with blacks recently with them saying no more, this is bullshit, I'm not even voting anymore because everything they were conned into voting for in this last election ain't happening because President Manchin and VP Sinema can't even not obstruct a voting rights bill. This is why Trump may very well be President in '24, because of the bullshit Dems perform when they have "power", not tv ads.

Dems could use a good Minister of Propaganda.

The R's don't have any idea how to govern either but they're way better at marketing and staying on message.
Considering that probably 95% of advertising creative types are D's, I really don't get how this can be true, but it is.

The quick and virtually complete capitulation by Deere to the strikers is a good omen, though.

point me to a single candidate they've put through that doesn't follow GOP leadership. They're just noise. I like the spirit, but they feel like they're patting their own backs when they should be actually working to turn the tide. You see it in every "moderate" republican - as soon as they do anything useful, they announce they're retiring on the next go-round, rather than putting in the work to change the party.

Probably worth noting that the Lincoln Project crew are all right out of the R machine.

My point is the messaging is on point. If fails to reach those who need to be influenced by it most though.. Wasn't there a recent major event ad like the Superbowl or something like that where the network caved at the last minute and pulled their ad for some ridiculous reason?? I'm thinking the gatekeepers are keeping them on the DL preventing those messages from being seen enough to matter..

The reason Ds can't govern is too many pet projects. The Rs simply don't want to govern.

Nailed it! The R's are successful because they know that when you dumb down complex topics into emotion-driven sound bites, you can recruit the feable brained masses.
