    "When Democrats call out the Republicans’ hateful vision, and in turn offer a compelling and clear alternative narrative, they win. Recent examples include Michigan State Senator Mallory McMorrow who chose to respond to her Republican colleague’s hateful “groomer” accusations with a viral video in which she clearly articulated her identity as a white, straight, Christian mom whose values inspire her to reject the GOP’s “hollow, hateful scheme” and anti-LGBTQ bigotry. She promised that Democrats “will not let hate win.” McMorrow’s passion and clarity were rewarded with a huge spike in donation and media engagement, and her speech is being used as a template for Democratic messaging."

    oh my god lmao

    The first part of the article was about how Americans by and large have progressive values, so if they voted that way, America would get better. Yeah I wonder why that doesn't seem to work most of the time, weird. Then it just gets into bonkers social media strategies and speeches. Just vote vote vote

    "Governor Gavin Newsom is another excellent example of a Democrat going on offense. On Independence Day, Newsom dropped an ad in Florida listing all the ways “freedom is under attack by Republican leaders,” such as book bans, voter suppression, speech restrictions, and the criminalization of women and doctors. He invited Floridians to join him in California, a state run by Democrats where they protect and defend freedoms. This was exquisite trolling according to Shenkar-Osario, but more importantly, it was very effective and memorable messaging."

    there is an article on planet earth that claims Gavin Newsom is responsible for exquisite trolling
