He should have filled that void that when he was the vice-president candidate last year!

Democrats need an immediate national primary to elect a leader of the opposition.

It sounds good but what does that actually look like in reality? Bold visions on alternative styles of governing are fundamentally incompatible with how Congress functions. You’re not getting inspiring FDR level reform out of the senate. You probably aren’t even getting it out of the gerrymandered house.
How can Democrats do anything *but* complain about how bad Republicans are when they’re institutionally impotent? “We won’t blow the government up and we’ll *maybe* slowly pass incremental change if we have the votes for it” isn’t all that inspiring. We could definitely copy the R playbook and lie about stuff but the dem base is a little more discerning than MAGAs. Republicans have an easy out since the salient parts of their platform can be accomplished (vibes-wise at least) through executive action and offensive tweets.

Right now I am really annoyed with whatever Biden-Harris political consultant muzzled Walz during the election. I swear dems need to #1 fire all political messaging consultants and just say what they actually want to tell their constituents or prospective voters.

I’m over indexing on this – but seriously? His prescription is they need to be more visible on television?
Democrats need to get better at propaganda and inculcation, they need to have a media strategy that actually reaches people. Kids don’t even know what television stations are, tv won’t even be around in a decade.

I disagree. They don’t need more of a presence on tv, they need more of a presence on alternative media. The people watching CNN/MSNBC/Fox don’t need additional exposure from politics.
Republicans have DailyWire, InfoWars, OAN, Newsmax, turning Point amongst others, while Dems don’t nearly have the same sizable footprint and TYT is straight up dogshit.

The most popular Democrat is right again.
Shadow Cabinet now
