can learn from the Right...(looking at you far Left) messaging WORKS because perception is everything.

The Right voters don't wait for the politicians to drive them....they make them respond to them....THEY drive the message....and its repeated AD NAUSEUM....until it indoctrinates the "low information voters" in the mushy middle to their point of view. No dissension in the ranks is allowed .....no minimizing their team with "I'll have to hold my nose and vote for them" is allowed....ever. No..."they aren't the right candidate" is allowed. You become an online Army...a force to be reckoned with....and you go forth and spread that message far and wide....everywhere, over and over and over..... like the annoying ads on Youtube videos do....and you don't silo the message into echo chambers of just your friends on your various Social Media accounts. Weak kneed, shallow "nose holding" support only impacts the message not the candidate

This is EXACTLY why Putin PAYS $$$ for Trollfarms....to use the algorithms to his advantage by SWAMPING IT with posts ...so many the algorithm can't ignore it...

If you question the message or the candidate you are summarily drummed out as a **gasp** a Democrat...banished from the kingdom...

They already took over Twitter and they have been trying for years on Quora ...and they have sights set on TikTok too because so many young people like that platform...on and on and on...

You want to win? You have to act like winners....a fucking FORCE not namby pamby curmudgeons that can never be satisfied. That allowance for even mild dissension impacts the perception that "maybe we aren't so confident in our message, and in our righteousness"....give the Trollfarms an opening . .they use it like an axe. Magnify it....astroturf it.....eventually siphoning off to *just enough" low information gullible voters to do what many voters did this past election cycle.....Protest vote against Democrats .....how does that work out for us???
