Hate radio and Fox is pervasive all over the nation. And they control the narrative and the air waves. We lack an effective counterpart. They are allowed to spew their vomit, cancer and poison 24/7 over the most part of the nation. No matter what the Democratic message it is distorted, repressed and blunted. Outright lies and phony information proliferates.
We surrendered so much air space and air time it is not even funny. We have to start attacking on the same terms and the same level. The Democrats are too concerned about being kind and adult and they give the GOP tactical rhetorical advantage. We simply have to be ready to rhetorically bloody the opposition. We have to be ready to be rude and insulting and get into the fight. We have to be will to just say STFU you are full of shit.
We are not playing nerf ball in this battle. Pussy footing around is a losing strategy. We must react and counter absurd, hateful and mean rhetoric. And we have to go after GOPPERS by name and even be personal when they do.

(30,481 posts)Without being part of a much larger operation, funding is difficult. You have to expect to run at a loss. Meaning a larger orginization or individuals have to be willing to absorb that loss for extended periods.
We dont seem to have the staying power in that area on a competitive scale.

(22,890 posts)That doesn't mean you just roll over and do nothing. But using hate speech and lies to attacks your enemy is not the way to go. We have to forcefully, effectively, and loudly speak the truth, not "attack on the same terms and the same level." The truth will set us free,
