We can counter the threats MAGA is lobbing at our elections, but this requires voters know about them and be equipped to respond accordingly. Latest from me and the fabulous @tarabuss.bsky.social anatosaurus.substack.com/p/sounding-t...

Sounding the Mobilizing Alarm on Election Sabotage
Voters are already hearing about Trump and MAGA Republicans’ attempts to sabotage our election. We need to help them turn awareness of danger into defiance – and prepare them to prevail.

You gain & *retain* power running against your opposition and governing for the people - not by adopting your opposition's arguments against you.

The willing accomplices to the regime's assaults, abductions and concentration camps are attempting to distance themselves from these crimes against humanity. The "opposition party" should make their plans to end these horrors and bring perpetrators to account focal. Drive the contrast.

I had not seen this clip where Tammy Duckworth advises Democrats to "not impeach anybody," "get back to work" and "allow" Donald Trump to "save face" and I would just like to remind the senator from IL that the federal government took 4,000 Chicagoans and murdered a 38-year-old father last fall.

The Supreme Court is illegitimate. Democrats cannot nominate a candidate in 2028 that is not strongly in favor of stacking the Supreme Court. Especially if we can realistically win a senate majority.

Instead - say what IS true, call out the fact that he lies (without repeating the claim) and ascribe motivation to it. In America voters pick our leaders, our leader do not pick their voters. But Trump knows voters are turning against him so he is peddling the same lies about the election he lost

Your periodic reminder that Bari Weiss has never been a news reporter, never worked on an investigative news piece, never even been on the 'news' side of a media operation. And no, the free press does not do news, it's an opinion site. A right- coded opinion site. Read @oliverdarcy.bsky.social:
Now that she has installed her own handpicked executive producer, I’m told she is weighing in on every story—including feature pieces—and exercising a degree of editorial control over the broadcast that is, frankly, unprecedented. That level of involvement has deeply frustrated staffers, according to multiple people familiar with the internal mood at the show. Many have come to believe that Weiss is the show’s de facto executive producer, not Bilton, given that she appears to have the final word on virtually every major editorial decision.

Can't be stated enough how much more progressive candidates are running better campaigns. Yes, that comes back to having & refusing to abandon values & convictions plus willingness to fight. But also - they're spending more time with voters because they spend less with consultants & donors.

The main challenge in political messaging that people don't seem to realize is getting it heard in the first place. The second problem is not, as centrists seem to believe, convincing voters that the status quo sucks. But rather that voting for you would improve it.
