    People want progressive ideals as policy, but losing the messaging war for 4 decades has taken its toll.

    You cannot associate these policies with an ideology. Just call it common sense. Or the Fuck Billionaires Agenda. Whatever.

    You can’t undo decades of media programming by telling people that they would all agree with you if they just paid closer attention. Losing strategy.

      They aren’t even trying to win the messaging war. Instead of pointing out how unbelievably horrible the republican plan of deporting 20 million undocumented migrants, they capitulated and moved further right on immigration.

        That’s what they said, but suggested calling it something other than what it is to appeal to the American public.

        Maybe you night not be the one to paying attention.
