"Honest Propaganda": How can Dems Improve ????????
Maybe honest propaganda is an oxymoron, but I truly believe that whoever wins the "propaganda" battle, wins the elections. It seems that the Repugs have the $ and talent to win, usually. How can we change this ???????????????

3. Expose the lies
I think one of the best ways to defeat the very well crafted and organized Republican Propaganda is to expose it for all to see. Films like "Outfoxed" and "Fahrenheit 911" are excellent tools for exposing the lies. "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" is also doing excellent work. We are also doing better on the web with sites like, Fair.org, "Media Matters for America," and "The Daily Howler."

It's a slow process but more and more people are starting to open their eyes and the fall of the "Republican Echo Chamber" is inevitable.

4. NOT yet subsidized, but AAR SHOULD be
what i meant was unclear..

AFLCIO, DNC need to be prodded by us to subsidize AAR.

Oddly, honchos at both have for the last century , let their ideas go flop because we
are a

"party without a voice"

No newspaper. No radio or tv station. {till AAR, and even that is not part of aflcio or dnc,,,,.. thus frail}.

AFLCIO and DNC need AAR it they want to avoid vanishing. Mexico is a one-party nation {mostly}.

It has no middle class. It is the goal of repubs for US.

5. There is nothinig inherently dishonest about propoganda
Propoganda is about persuading people, and nothing persuades better than the truth. Propoganda is not about the content, but how it is presented.

6. how about we walk the talk
The ultimate propaganada is action.

Here is a site at the frontline of this election, in the michigan
battle ground state:

Please get an ID, and practice hand to hand with independent voters
and conservatives. You're more than well enough trained here at DU.

They will use personal insults, and lies. Just have zero tolerance.
Bust them on every single nuance. Intelligent readers will see
who is telling the truth. Just tell the truth and we are victorious.

7. Admit when we're wrong!!
Don't support our candidates just because they are our candidates. Speak only the truth...only the position that represents the good of the people.
