I have often said it here, but for some reason people think that amounts to speaking against Democrats. In fact is the exact opposite.
We have a weakness. That weakness is the reason many still view the Republicans as the party of fiscal responsibility when in fact Republicans dependably blow up the economy and let Democrats deal with the fallout. That weakness is the reason many actually fear caravans of criminals, or Antifa, or the idea that stormtroopers will come and take your guns, when in fact the criminals are the republican politicians, the white supremacists actually exist and are actually killing people, and the republican led stormtroopers are actually coming and taking your neighbors and children.
Basic PR is the way to overcome that weakness. It's the way to show that we are the solution to the fears of the easily led. If we would work with that, we could be much stronger.
