Who Else Thinks It May Be Time For Democrats To Tell America Who Republicans Really Are

[DanieRains]

I called my congress person Pramila's office multiple times with the same message. I see her on the TV every night, and she NEVER mentions Republicans are opposed to every thing most Americans want in the BBB. If she spent as much time explaining to fence sitters who might watch her what Republicans are costing them, we would be crushing Republicans.

Republicans only care about scaring people with made up imaginary crap, and helping billionaires rob us more effectively, and pay no taxes.

Every Democrat should start every speech or media appearance trying to wake up the "undecided voters" with exactly what the Republican Party stands for. Lies, and Fascism. Nothing more, nothing less.

Let's get 'er done.

Republicans are mostly terrorists, and will destroy democracy and install Fascism, as long as they get to play Nazis.

That's the truth.

Rec if you agree, or let me know where I am wrong.

1. NO talking about 'them,' other than during election,

show the electorate who WE are.

[lees1975]

2. This needs to be a constantly broadcast message on radio, television and on social media

The Republican Party hasn't done a thing for the people since well before I was born.

10. we're talking post civil war ! after effect's of the civil war & still with us !

good at flapping the ol'gum's ,but never seen any good legislation from republican party . wonder if anybody else remembers ? other than they know how to piss off a lot of people in the world !

[UTUSN]

3. Rec, but the "wrong" part: Nobody *knows*?!

[SoCalDavidS]

4. They're Their FRIENDS Across The Aisle

It's a big fucking club, and we're not part of it.

[grumpyduck]

5. I gave up trying to communicate

with my elected representatives. Form letters three weeks later that had nothing to do with what I wrote about. I find that offensive as hell. They just don't fucking listen to us "common people."

I don't expect them to do what I suggest, but I do expect the common courtesy of a proper acknowledgment.

No more wasting my time with them.

[monkeyman1]

11. ain't that the damn truth ! ever heard of "my door is always open " policy ?

[GoodRaisin]

6. We need our own network.

It's working for Republicans.

[DanieRains]

8. They Should Have Kept Air America Alive

Idiots.

[Celerity]

9. it was a commercial failure and was extremely poorly run

Air America (radio network)

Launch date March 31, 2004
Closed January 21, 2010

The network was financially troubled, however. A scandal involving nearly $1 million in loans from a Boys & Girls Club in New York secretly transacted by Evan Cohen came out in 2005 and was a source of negative publicity. The loans were repaid, but in October 2006, mounting debts forced Air America Radio to file Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The company was bought by New York real estate investor Stephen L. Green and his brother Mark J. Green, who purchased the network in March 2007 for US$4.25 million.

The company eventually changed its name from Air America Radio to Air America Media and lastly to just Air America, an effort to establish itself as a broadcaster on multiple media sources including television and the Internet, and one not merely relegated to radio. Always primarily a radio network, on January 21, 2010, Air America went off the air citing difficulties with the current economic environment. It filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and liquidated itself. Bennett Zier was the company's last CEO including through the bankruptcy and liquidation.

12. I Was An Air America Advertiser Met All The Stars Rachel Al Randi Ed Thom

I even helped Ed do his show some.

No one on "our side" thought it might be worth spending some $$ to offset so many hours of daily hate radio spewing non stop lies, and attacks on Dems.

Why can't Dems have nice things.

Like radio.

Right Wing Radio is funded by the billionaires who want Dems powerless to raise their taxes. Any price is they pay is a deal.

[Celerity]

13. a billionaire (or a group of multi millionaires) who was Dem friendly should funded it at a loss

[OnDoutside]

15. Exactly, and it's beyond comprehension that it has yet to be done.

I would concentrate on radio and internet, as this is a long term project so you need to be hitting young people.

[orleans]

14. yeah, whatever... but i loved it.

i'd turn on the computer before i went to work so my mom could listen to randi rhodes.
at night i'd make us popcorn and i'd lay down on the couch and she'd sit in her chair and we'd listen to mike malloy's show. it was a family tradition (just like when she was a kid and her family would gather around the radio to listen to radio shows including that little orphan annie and that crushing disappointment the kids experienced when they realized their decoder pins spelled out: "drink more ovaltine" or whatever it said)

[mopinko]

19. i'm still mad no dems ran ads on it.

i cant remember ever hearing a candidate ad on there.
like john kerry never heard of this game.

[myohmy2]

7. +1...

...

[orleans]

16. oh no no no--not us

the party of polite with the desire to just get along and play nice with others
no name calling, no pointing fingers, no slamming the door in someone's face
no tripping them up, no dirty tricks or cheep shots, no gossiping, backstabbing, or hitting below the belt
NO MUD SLINGING OR THROWING SAND IN ANYONE'S FACE!
no calling them out, no drawing attention to them,
and when their party tells their voters that *they* gave them the pandemic relief check we'll just be the bigger party and not point out that they didn't vote for it and that they are liars. if it means that much to them to take credit for that then we will let it slide with the high hope that voters will know better (even tho many don't know republicans didn't vote for it)

[Raine]

17. NO, it's better Democrats talk about their plans for improving life for Americans

leave the Repubs out it. 🤔

[Scrivener7]

23. We need to do both. We are doing neither.

[ms liberty]

18. They are continually framing us and the issues. We rarely attempt to frame theirs

They're represented better in the media because they're always working the refs and have been since the 90's. Their people agitated to the producers and managers of the news and political commentary shows every time the news didn't favor their views, and they agitated for more right leaning guests on the shows. it was a focus of the GOP beginning with Newt, and then got worse during Tom Delay's times as Speaker in the House, and Trent Lott's time as Majority Leader in the Senate. By the time * was selected, Tim Russert was happily moaning about Florida, Florida, Florida. Since then it's just been maintenance of their advantage. That's how and why we now get virtually all our news reported thru right wing framing, and why we see GOP guests regularly outnumber Dems.

20. We need to quit being so fucking civil. We are facing a very large and dangerous enemy of America.

Treat them that way.

[Sympthsical]

21. "Republicans are terrorists, fascists, and Nazis."

Hrm. Works with your friends on the Internet. In real life, you'd handily lose in nearly every election.

Sigh. The Bubble is never going to die is it.

It's like that article I read yesterday. "Why white women are the worst ever!" Yeah, let's send that one out as an election pamphlet next year. Then when we lose, it can be, "Why won't they vote for us?! I mean, I insulted them as much as I possibly could, and they still wouldn't vote the way I wanted! Probably because they're all racists."

Sometimes I feel like our political consulting fees are too low.

[Scrivener7]

22. Long past time.
