I don’t know who told Democrats running for president that they should never do interviews and that they should never do their own social media, but the consultant who figures out that voters like an candidate who does their own social media and who does interviews will probably make even more money

The people who advised Clinton, Biden, and Harris made them feel that they couldn’t write their own tweets or do their own interviews. I think that was a huge mistake.

People want authenticity, democratic consultants were so fearful they prevented candidates from getting to be themselves at all. Voters didn’t connect with the focus grouped result.

They’re obviously other factors at play here. But this is one for sure.

There’s a reason people feel invested in @maxwellfrost.bsky.social & @aoc.bsky.social & @repjasmine.bsky.social

1. Not sure. If people want authenticity, they would have never voted for Trump.

2. Babble fills our screens. We are now in the age

of words hurt. Sticks and stones may hurt me bones but words will never hurt me.

3. Like Molly Jong-Fast but tired of hearing

about what Dems didn't do. Heard Joe S.
this am talking about "joyless" Dems.
Usually watch BBC instead in the am, but telly was set to MSNBC from last night and I was on DU not really listening.Heard Scarborough bs and switched.

Jeezus. Trump is pulling every stunt in the book, intending on gutting government. Institutional memory will be on life support if he isn't stopped and this is what some people focus on?

4. To be clear, I'm speaking of MSM, not op.

5. I see this woman

Every day on MSNBC. Where did she come from? Aside from being a writer, what are her political creds? She is a relative of some famous writers of the 60s, but where did she come from and how did she get such supposed political acumen? Anyone know?
