Do Dems Have A Failure To Communicate?

[calimary]

1. YESSSSS! They STILL don't seem to "get" how vitally important MESSAGING is!!!

Good grief and gallstones!!!

I just can’t understand it!!!

You’d think a party as big and long-established as the Democratic Party would finally “get” this, and load up on George Lakoff-style experts on STRATEGIC MESSAGING!!!

It frustrates me so intensely that sometimes I want to SCREAM!!!!!

And DAMMIT, they have to stop the “let’s be nice” crap!!!!! The answer is: we’ll play nice as soon as YOU Republicans do!

A “fair fight” is NOT fair unless BOTH sides play fair. When one side lies and cheats and manipulates and plays mean and nasty and always tries to put its thumb on the scale to win, while we play nice and above board and don’t think more shrewdly and deviously, WE will get our asses handed to us again and again.

If the “rules of the game” are followed by one side but ignored and defied by the other side, then any presumption of “fairness” goes right out the window.

And frankly, I don’t want to “play fair” anymore.
