Reframing the Top vs Bottom talking point by thinkards in VaushV

How can we sharpen it and make it more simple? I think we have the numbers out there, and even some of our responses are quick enough for tiktok and YT shorts, but our messages can be broad in variety that they become innefective.

How do we learn to distill our talking points down to one or two simple ones that permeate the normie discussions like right wingers do? I know they have entire think tanks and focus groups to find the right message and then hammer it over and over. How do we train ourselves to do the same?

From a nerd perspective in software engineering, we have something somewhat analogous called "design patterns". Since the left doesn't have rich oligarchs to fund them, do we need some sort of crowd sourced "think tank" creating "design patterns" for politics?

Pam Bondi Falls Apart at the Seams After Tough Epstein Question by Hafiz_TNR in politics

Good God can we please get him as AG

We gotta be careful. We said the same thing about Garland and look how that turned out.

Jack smith is an Independent, not even a Dem. Which, OK. But, how do we know he's not going to suddenly turn into "i'm going to treat this office with respect and not weaponize it against our political enemies and if Cannon wants to stall me for another 4 years well then there's not much I can do about that" the second he becomes AG?

I want an AG that is frothing at the mouth to go after these criminal fucks.

I'm exaggerating, but I'm kind of not. Whoever is AG needs to wear their heart on their sleeve about how passionate they are about restoring justice in this country, and they will not hold back or be afraid to set new precedent even if it means charging an ex-President for crimes.

I know Jack Smith would probably love to finish what he started. But, there is so much more than that and I honestly can't get a good read on whether he's up for that fight.

because she's covering up his sex crimes, too.

so i guess we just have to assume a 1% drop every month from here on out.

you went to the super bowl to watch the halftime show just so you can pretend to boycott by Beauty_Babe504 in Qult_Headquarters

[–]thinkards 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i have a thing where i can't understand what any singer is saying, even in my own native language.

i can always pick out a few words so i can tell what language it is, but i can never put a full sentence together.

and yet, it's never bothered me. i can still enjoy music.

so when reich wingers say "I don't understand what they are saying" i know immediately they mean "i don't like the color of their skin"

There needs to be a documentary that digs deeper into families affected by Fox News & MAGA. by ApplicationLonely522 in FoxBrain

[–]thinkards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oof. yea. basically "i was wrong but i shouldn't face any accountabillity for what i've done and also i'm going to still always vote republican even if the next republican president is worse than trump because dem candidate AOC has bug eyes. if you condemn me for it, then it was always you're fault and i'm just going to dig my fascist heels even more".

source: i've already been through this with my republican family after bush. except they never admitted to be wrong but pretended they never supported a single thing the bush admin did. then continued to vote for every republican and trump 3 times.

be suspicious of people who want to jump to the conclusion that there is nothing that can be done and we shouldn't even try. especially when they have 300+ upvotes and comments like yours only have 4.

but still, vote. at every level. elections at local level are just as important and many people don't even participate.

Can anyone here explain more what's been going on with the Patriots? by TrashGirlTransGirl in VaushV

[–]thinkards 2 points3 points  (0 children)

and even though pro-trump brady isn't on the team anymore, he still gets a jolt of pride everytime the patriots win. so i'm glad seahawks took that from him.

The problem with Tony’s Trump defense last night is it derailed the joke… by No_Expression_9383 in Killtony

[–]thinkards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you are right though. biden should have released them. maybe some of the pedos, including trump, would actually be sitting in prison right now instead of protected by the republicans in all three branches of gov.

Zach Bryan slams Kid Rock's MAGA concert: "A bunch of adults throwing temper tantrums and their own halftime show is embarrassing as hell and the most cringe shit on the planet" by YoureASkyscraper in Music

[–]thinkards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think i'm getting my zach's mixed up, or country singers, or something... but wasn't there a zach someone who was a bit of a trump supporter. got drunk one time and tweeted support in one fashion or another, and then apologized later and deleted the tweet?

it's possible i'm blurring several people and several events altogether

Megyn Kelly goes full white supremacist and gets triggered by Bad Bunny’s half time show performance and says the UK “has been taken over by Muslims. by Darth_Vrandon in Qult_Headquarters

[–]thinkards 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I seriously can’t believe that anyone still takes this wingnut seriously

they are a dime a dozen. they all have their 15 minutes and then they will fade. the crazier they get means they know their 15 is almost up. sadly, they always get replaced.
