In reply to the discussion: Another thing Democrats need to learn from The Lincoln Project [View all]CaptainTruth
(6,591 posts)38. I've said it before & I'll say it again, the Dem party (in general) is not good at messaging.
We do all kinds of great things for the American people, but we don't tell them about it, so most people don't know. We don't tell people (in an effective way that reaches average Americans) how the things we do benefit them & their loved ones. We let Republicans define us with their messaging, to our great detriment.
I love my party but the lack of effective messaging has disappointed me for decades, especially when we have so many GOOD & FACTUAL messages we could be delivering ... yet we don't, we allow Republicans to paint us with lies.
I frustrates the heck out of me. We can do all kinds of great & wonderful things that help Americans, but if they don't know about it, & all they see are messages from the GOP saying the whole country will be on fire if Biden wins, we're losing the battle for their hearts & minds, & losing votes.

Not sure why people are resisting your message on this, but you are absolutely right.
