@HellcatBruce You see everything thru the lens of parliamentary procedure and you don’t care about optics or propaganda. That’s not being smart, that’s being naive. If it turns out to be a PR disaster it was the wrong move, period. No amount of procedure explaining will change that.
@JoblessVince@d_h_sanders Wrong lesson. They didn’t want Trump impeached because they thought he was great. He ran the table on the propaganda war the whole time.
@screaminglibral Do you have a more pedantic factoids to sway the voters with? The People wanted to see their reps which they just elected under emergency conditions standing tall and working on an issue leader Jeffries said was important. Then they didn’t.
@rat_liker For real. It’s like they think everyone is an expert on parliamentary procedure and that you should just *get it dummy*. Also, there were good propaganda reasons to make Rs vote it down over a 100% attendance. Squandered.
@CentristMadness Listen, by now Dem leadershi should understood the media environment they live in. I don’t blame them for winning, I blame us for losing. We need to do better on comms & optics. Period.
@NickyFrank30@St3v0_24 “Hi this is Rep Horsford, this is what I worked on today and here is why it is important. Also let me show you what my chud maga ‘colleague’ did today. Can you believe it?”
@NickyFrank30@St3v0_24 Yes! Flood the zone with work being done. We have never lost an election on policy or being bad at parliamentary procedure. We lost on people not knowing WTF the Chips act is.
@DMC0821 “This is a Republican scam to get Hegseth tried in a Republican Senate. We are going to vote this down to committee & bring a more thorough articles in January”. All of this would have been avoided! I also would have accepted letting it go forward and clip farming Rs.
@NickyFrank30@St3v0_24 No I don’t. And if they are, they need to sell it. I need every single dem to wake up and realize they are fighting a propaganda battle against gold medal propagandists. I need them to put new media at the center of their strategy.
@HellcatBruce You are totally focussed on procedure & not how it looks. That’s a huge mistake. We didn’t lose to MAGA by not having a handle on procedure & policy. Give the people a show. Show us that you’re there and working. Create ops to clip farm.
@NickyFrank30@St3v0_24 Maybe they can make some use of their time between votes…draft legislation, figure out new and sadistic was to procedurally torture the MAGA. You know, work a 50 hour week like our Republic is on the line.
