Judge not lest ye be judged.

There are many forms of activism and it is important to keep in mind that everyone exists with different abilities in different contexts. Judging others because they aren't adopting the same strategy as you isn't going to build a winning coalition. Here's a quote from someone who was murdered by the SS and was reflecting on how stupidity is as much a sociological phenomenon:
It will really depends on whether those in power expect more from people's stupidity than from their inner independence and wisdom.
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer, After Ten Years
The idea that the DNC only has a messaging problem is to say we expect more from people's stupidity than from their inner independence or wisdom (ie Voters just need to be educated). A party that respects people would listen and respond to issues like Gaza or wealth inequality. The reason this strategy of educating voters doesn't work is because it isn't a problem with the intellect but of their oppression. Only by liberating fellow voters will they be able to act independently.
Yeah, the only positive spin I received is from Newsom dropping ads on YouTube. Got a couple negative flyers as well.
Convincing people to vote for them is the job of the party, not their supporters. The supporters can only repeat the messaging the party sends out, if that messaging is unpopular then no amount of time and money from the supporters is going to win the election.
Kind of wish she had though, not really liking the outcomes.
The lies are audacious though. Most people know this is a lie but there's no consequences so it is then taken as a display of power. The word I use for this is mendacity.
Ever tried siracha deviled eggs? Or with grey puopon? I wonder what the price of eggs are now....
It's a start. Go further and have the police document every encounter, get badge numbers and names and make the info public. And don't show up when the public starts taking some accountability into their own hands.
Was wondering this and if this sorry excuse is also on the Epstein list.
Ehh, the GOP does care what their base thinks of them, that's why they're doing all those podcasts. DNC is happy to say vote or die with little concern what their base thinks. Maybe if more Dems owned guns that would change, but I'm not so sure.
It's kind of weird how the CHP has become a hammer for things distinctly not about the highway. Got crime in Oakland? Send in the CHP with video cameras. Got homelessness? Send in the CHP to do a sweep. Need security? Send in the CHP. That being said this is the least offensive unorthodox use Newsome has used the CHP for.
What the hell do you think federation is? A Trotsky plot?
