I'm not paid to do their job. If I were, I would learn how to do it.
Your examples would only lead to one of two conclusions. One that the Democratic Party has nothing that the public wants to hear, that the public doesn't like what the Democratic Party stands for. Or that the people you mentioned are not very good at arguing our point of view. I think the people you mentioned are fully informed, but don't present their points in ways that attract the attention of people who are so stupid that they still claim to be undecided. Newsom did a credible job, but Sullivan, while he appeals to the liberals in the crowd, only turns off those who could be swayed. He is just an attack dog.
The examples you give show the problem. The OP was about how Georgia's jack ass governor spouted crap on a CNN story. None of the examples you gave called him out. None of them called out CNN for not calling out his stupid raving. In 1950, you could just talk about your ideas and hope the camera liked you. But if you think that doing the same thing we have been doing is working, then go ahead and ignore the Stacey Abrams and her kind that are actually motivating voters and turning around elections. Just take a few minutes off from fund raising to read a script in the studio.
Again. I'm not paid, and it's not my job, but I think the point is to call every lie specifically with names and facts instead of just saying over and over that the republicans are "not being very truthful" or are "misstating the facts". Call them liars and cowards and toadies and puppets. But for each name you call them, give the things they did or said that makes them such. And name the liars.
I don't think DNC is doing a very good job of motivating voters. You think they are. We disagree.
( I saw NBC and CBS, but couldn't take another dose of Sullivan. It would have been good to hear what Duckworth said about immigration. Did she call out abbott and his razor wire? Did she talk about the "convoy" of maga truckers who took off work and drove south to defend our border from the streaming hordes only to end up grousing about the wasted gas money because there was nothing going on at the border. It was abbot's lies. Taxes motivate voters. Did she tell how the republican governors are sending guardsmen to the Texas border to fight back the non-existent hordes using thousands and thousands of tax dollars from their state?
