Slop.

The reason your messaging sucks is because you don't believe it and that's really obvious. Instead of standing for things and exciting people you're doing focus groups on how to trick people into thinking they're excited.

Chuds hate minorities so republicans say they'll be cruel to minorities so republicans vote for them and then they're cruel to minorities.

Liberals want healthcare so dems say they'll get them Healthcare so liberals vote for them and then democrats say if you want Healthcare you're an idiot who doesn't understand how politics works and also you must secretly be a republican, just look at this graph.

Rinse and repeat for 4 straight election cycles and suddenly you can't even beat trump.

I don’t know who Warner is or what the tuna melt moment was. So maybe it wasn’t that viral.

You could just promise the American working class that you'll do things that help them and then actually do it but no clearly it's some fucking tuna melt moment that's ruining your party

They talked about how to go viral

Looking at the covid deaths under Biden, I would say they know enough

I had to look it up. They didn't even go viral for something good. They went viral for microwaving slop and calling it a tuna melt. Even in their fantasies of good marketing they're getting laughed at.

Repeat after me: It doesn’t matter how good your messaging is if the content of the message is dogshit.

Messaging is not the issue with the Democratic Party, the problem is policy and whether people believe you’ll enact it.

Lots of good answers, so I'll throw my own take in

The answer is painfully simple: Republicans engage with their constituents in a back and forth, and Democrats only engage with K Street. I would bet Democrats barely talk with their own staff of younger people enough to understand meme culture. After 50 years of focus groups, polls, and consultants Democrats cannot meaningfully communicate with their voters.

There was one Democrat exception. Do you know who did work with their base and had a great meme culture?

You couldn't live with your own failure, where did that bring you? Back to ME

very memorable

Haha I know my brain is cooked and my memory is shot full of holes but I will not be gaslit by this.

How on point. A room of overpaid clowns discussing how they can appeal to their constituents through the most vapid, shallow ways they can think of.

The Democratic Party Needs a Bean Dad

go viral

Yeah, and that’s the left’s fatal flaw. We care about what’s right; and the right thing is almost never hip with the kiddos.

If they insist, the left should serve as a digital counter-culture. We’re the grass touchers and we want you to touch grass. That’s why we want more housing to be built and more jobs to exist. Leftism will get you out of your parents’ basement.

There, no consultation fee required.

Omg I feel so home in hexbear spaces thank you for not making me feel fucking insane.

How do liberal vote blue no matter who types accept this?!?! And go along with it?! And genuinely believe the propaganda???? HOWWWW

Well, I gotta tell you, there's a lot of competition out there, the whole internet is full of people trying to go viral and carve out their own niche. The first question you gotta ask yourself if you want to distinguish yourself is: What can you do that nobody else can? And then, what do people want to see you do? I mean, like, I don't really know what you do but you're like a major political party or something, right? Maybe you should look at what policies people want to see enacted, and then support those policies?

I'm 34 years old and have never voted for a Democrat.

lol, sorry Dems, Tuna Melt moment still maps exclusively to Tobias working at Swallows from Arrested Development

tuna melt moment

Maybe comprise your party with fewer people that are one slip from the grave? You know, the ones that know the difference between an app and an iPhone?

Very memorable

Said no one ever
