I can only hope someone higher up in the Democratic party takes notice and can up their game. As Reed Galen of The Lincoln Project told the Democratic Women of South Orange County at their Nov 2024 meeting the dems need to

Organize more

Media is shattered

We need to be loud & ugly like Rs. No more kumbayah

Messaging must be about what party stands for. See what they need

They operate in the culture. Go to quincinerras etc

Don’t worry about offending people

TALK TO MORE PEOPLE!! How: need other than door knocking. Not effective. Need Phone, radio. Something that allows us to communicate better. Coffee is a good example

As an educator I am 100% opposed to trying to out-lie the liars. To paraphrase the New Testament, the liars you will always have with you. Let’s not add to the murk.

Instead, LISTEN and TALK to people. That includes telling them how they can identify potentially false claims:

—-Jeff mentions bylines, which is one clue. Who wrote/recorded the claim? What organization does the originator represent? If you can’t even identify those two things, it is automatically garbage.

—-Where did the author get the information? Where else is it documented? Is it too extreme to be true? Does it make sense? These are indicators of POTENTIALLY false reporting.

There is more but these are the best starting points.
