General Discussion

Standing in the well of the House or Senate with a flip chart is not an effective communication strategy in 2025.

There are plenty of ways to be creative about getting in front of the public, but all of these things start with the message. AOC is clear about her message, and it is a message that connects strongly with the grass roots, and even with some MAGA people. It is all about economic fairness, investment in our future, and countering the spiraling corruption.

Schumer and the DNC have no message. None, so it makes no difference what media they use.

Newsom is very clear with his messaging, as is Pritzker and it aligns with AOC and Bernie about 90% or more. So the reality is we just can't expect much out of many of the DC players. They simply are not grounded in anything outside the Beltway. And the Betlway is loaded with thousands of lobbyists and consultants that are all working 180 degrees opposite the interests of average Americans.
