Why Democrats PURPOSELY Do Not Have a Message
Vanity | 6/23/17 | Self

Posted on 06/23/2017 8:05:42 AM PDT by Moe-Patrick

The message that sells: Jobs, Security, Justice, and Freedom. In other words, Trump's message. If they were to adopt this message, they would have to explain how to accomplish these goals. That's what they DON'T want to expose. Socialism only works for their base, and would alienate moderates. Additionally, if they were to adopt a mainstream message they would have to publicly acknowledge what Trump is doing to address these goals. And it is difficult to argue with success if you are an unwilling participant. The MSM also knows this and will not cover anything Trump actually does. Democrat (moderates) voters must never know that Trump is actually doing what they really want.

On a side note, if the GOP continues to be silent (going on 10 years), their party is dead as well. Trump saved them by fighting for an agenda.

Well put and exactly right.

The Democrats/Progressives, actually they are Communists, rely on lies to survive. They must never be truthful about their agenda because they know it would be completely rejected.

The use of Political Correctness is imperative for them because by using PC, they control the narrative.

They are in full-on Alinsky mode and any coherent messaging or strategy would simply been seen as cover. Since their cover is essentially blown, there is no reason to hide anything anymore.

“Trump saved them by fighting for an agenda.”

No, President Trump didn’t ‘save’ the GOPe & RINOs, they HATE him!

He saved America and Americans...or at least slowed our demise. :(

In a way, you are right. The only message they had was tried by Obama. It failed miserably, but it is their real and only message.

Dems do not soul search. They look for ways they can verbally reword their approach in order to fool people back into the fold.

Dems thought for sure that osshoff would win in Ga6 because it was a changed and more “educated” area now.

I laugh because to dems, education only means the higher educated you are, the more chances you were indoctrinated to be a progressive. The dems really are not interested in knowledge of any other kind.

They cannot acknowledge that Hillary was a terrible candidate strapped down by having to high five Obama and keep his agenda going. An agenda that Americans decided they do not like.

Obama ruined the dems and it pleases me to say it because they sure won’t.

It’s really simple. They KNOW their messages are rejected, especially if understood.

They are now purely the party of hate.

How’d that work out in the 1860s and 1870s?

To your point they don’t have any message besides “we’re not Trump”.

To articulate a message that would actually attract voters other than their particular brand of useful idiots, would require the formulation of policies that are in direct conflict with their goals of a reduced America.

What they learned from Onambla is that if they don’t actually announce that they’re “for” anything, and only speak in broad generalities then they can be whatever their voters project onto them. This is exactly what Onambla did. He was whatever they thought he was, as opposed to what he really was.

___________________________________________________________

Agreed! There’s no doubt about that. My point was that he gave them a ‘win’ and a ‘voice’. No he did not save them. The last sentence in my post: The GOP better find their voice or their party is over as well.

What you say is true.

The democrats for the most part don’t really care about jobs, security, justice, or freedom. They care about absolute power.

If you set no goals, then you cannot be held accountable for failure to achieve the goals.

They have messages.

They just have to keep them under wraps, obfuscate and talk in double speak because they can’t abide discussion and debate about their policies.

You’re right Moe - dems are all talk and no workable action. There a reason the dem mantra is ‘words matter’ because it’s all they’ve got: the gift of cheap gab.

All talk - no workable actions...

Yep, that about sums it up. The sissy boys actually thought this message would bring 'em to the polls in Georgia.

Exactly! They don’t have one either. As I stated in my post - If the GOP remains silent, their party is dead as well. Trump gave them a ‘win’ by fighting for an agenda. Reminder - the GOP disagreed with everything Trump campaigned on until they realized there was an audience for it, then they changed their tune. They don’t realize that after Trump’s term(s), they are in trouble as a party much like the Dems.
