Dear Democrats,

This list is prepared so that you might have a directory of words to use in writing literature and mail, in preparing speeches, and in producing electronic media. The words and phrases are powerful. Read them. Memorize as many as possible. And remember that, like any tool, these words will not help if they are not used….

Contrasting Words

Often we search hard for words to help us define our opponents. Sometimes we are hesitant to use contrast. Remember that creating a difference helps you. These are powerful words that can create a clear and easily understood contrast. Apply these to the opponent, their record, proposals and their party.

decay… failure (fail)… collapse(ing)… deeper… crisis… urgent(cy)… destructive… destroy… sick… pathetic… lie… liberal… they/them… unionized bureaucracy… “compassion” is not enough… betray… consequences… limit(s)… shallow… traitors… sensationalists…

endanger… coercion… hypocrisy… radical… threaten… devour… waste… corruption… incompetent… permissive attitudes… destructive… impose… self-serving… greed… ideological… insecure… anti-(issue): flag, family, child, jobs… pessimistic… excuses… intolerant…

stagnation… welfare… corrupt… selfish… insensitive… status quo… mandate(s)… taxes… spend(ing)… shame… disgrace… punish (poor…)… bizarre… cynicism… cheat… steal… abuse of power… machine… bosses… obsolete… criminal rights… red tape… patronage

Optimistic Positive Governing Words

Use the list below to help define your campaign and your vision of public service. These words can help give extra power to your message. In addition, these words help develop the positive side of the contrast you should create with your opponent, giving your community something to vote for!

share… change… opportunity… legacy… challenge… control… truth… moral… courage… reform… prosperity… crusade… movement… children… family… debate… compete… active(ly)… we/us/our… candid(ly)… humane… pristine… provide…

liberty… commitment… principle(d)… unique… duty… precious… premise… care(ing)… tough… listen… learn… help… lead… vision… success… empower(ment)… citizen… activist… mobilize… conflict… light… dream… freedom…

peace… rights… pioneer… proud/pride… building… preserve… pro-(issue): flag, children, environment… reform… workfare… eliminate good-time in prison… strength… choice/choose… fair… protect… confident… incentive… hard work… initiative… common sense… passionate

Nichael posted:

On the subject of whether or not there's electoral backlash when the Republicans gently caress us, I'm taking the pussy (grabbing) way out and saying I don't have any idea what will happen anymore, and neither do any of you. This is best exemplified by me saying to people in late October "Unless literally all of the polls are wrong, Clinton is sure to win! But what are the chances of that?..." followed by an immediate jump cut of me saying "Literally all of the polls were wrong." We have lived through a year and a half of improbabilities, and it's naive to think that anything is certain now (except death). Of course, there is wisdom in looking at past data for an approximate idea of what to expect, but it is not prophecy, and it is clear that we live in a time where the old rules are mostly non-applicable.

the polls weren't all that wrong though were they? they started swinging wildly in the last 2 weeks and as we know now the undecideds came out strong for Trump in the end, something which *sigh* Shook Nate kept hammering was a distinct possibility. Trump still lost the popular vote by a large margin.

I don't understand. What exactly was wrong with what they're saying there? Simple narratives work. That has been proven again and again (even outside of 2016). Democrats should absolutely shift to dumb and simple narratives.

JAMOOOL posted:

these people are the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet
I mean, yeah. However I don't really want to blame them completely. They're victims of a nation that hasn't educated them, a culture that has taught them that toxic masculinity is to be valued and civics is pointless, and a media that has ignored the truth in favor of profit.

euphronius posted:

This works fine, but then you get a bunch of liberals "Well, actually"ing it, saying nothing's been proven yet, like the massive pussies they are. Nothing was loving proven about Obama being a gay Kenyan, and yet here we are.

Regardless, it's hard to ignore the year and a half of improbable events that lead to this point.

Do you talk to most average Americans? Because I've worked with average Americans my whole life and I can tell you that "zero sense of who they are, what they believe in and no values" is absolutely par for the course. Try talking about any of this poo poo with a random person on the street, nobody even knows or cares about what the gently caress is going on in any capacity whatsoever.

The counter-sting, carried out by The Undercurrent and Americans Take Action, a project of a previous target of provocateur James O’Keefe, managed to surreptitiously record elements of O’Keefe’s network offering huge sums of money to progressive activists if they would disrupt the ceremony and “put a stop to the inauguration” and the related proceedings to such a degree that donors to the clandestine effort would “turn on a TV and maybe not even see Trump.” To have riots blot out coverage of Trump, the donor offered “unlimited resources,” including to shut down bridges into D.C.

I don't know. I think many people just don't really invest more than about ten seconds of thought into an issue. It's weird to me, but I'm clearly a minority in how closely I follow stuff.

quote:

In the interview, aired Wednesday morning on Fox News’s “Fox & Friends,” Trump backed away from a suggestion on Twitter this week that CIA Director John Brennan might have leaked the salacious allegations about him to the media, saying he accepted Brennan’s denial. “But it came out of someplace,” Trump told host Ainsley Earhardt at the Trump Tower in New York on Tuesday. “And it’s fake news. It’s all fake news.”

“They should not have been a part of it,” Trump said. “Because it’s made up. Never existed. Never happened. And the reason I say that so strongly because nothing’s ever going to show up. There’s never going to be a tape that shows up. There’s never going to be anything that shows up.”

Trump added that he would be “very embarrassed if a tape actually showed up saying something like that. It would be double embarrassed, because I’m saying there is no tape, there is no tape. There was no event.”
