(35,179 posts)Earl G did a really good OP after the election about how we are in vacuums in this country in terms of media.
We have the old school dems using older methods that worked for many years. Carville was a star for Bill Clinton, but folks I was in my 20's when we were all in Washington - and now I'm almost 60. It was decades ago.
The republicans with their billionaire budgets (literally) have taken over mainstream media and created a cult of supporters for Trump. Breaking through that will not be easy - esp. when you factor in their cheating - but it definitely won't be done by folks using old methods.
We need folks like David Hogg and others (no matter their age) - who see clearly what has happened and support new methods. I have mentioned before that I back Meidas. I'm not really a podcast person but I downloaded it on my phone and subscribed to their network. They won't be perfect, but they are getting the views - they are young enough (esp. Brett & Jordy) to get their message out to all ages. With Ben doing his more traditional talks and the younger brothers getting it out on Tik tok etc - democrats can get through. If a third of the potential voters didn't even make it to the polls - we need to find them and get them there!
