When will Democrats learn

It seems like history continues to repeat itself and we still don’t have an answer…. this same type of stuff happened with Clinton and Obama and they still suck at countering Republican lies….:

Republicans always tell lies and control the narrative, and Democrats are always too late to respond and just let the lies fester thinking that no reasonable person will believe it….CRT is just the latest example…

Always the Republicans M.O…..when Democrats are in charge bring out the racists by drumming up fake culture war issues…while Democratic voters are sleeping and not paying attention….and of course the Republicans get an assist from the media by portraying these racist voters as “concerned” citizens

I hope the Dems can come up with something or we won't have a democracy left.

5. Educators

All they have to do is pay educators to make ads across the country stating that CRT is not taught in public schools. Democrats have not said a word to counter this narrative allowing it to just fester everyday.

2. The media has sided with the Republicans throughout this election. The media owners do not want their taxes raised and will sell the people out any time the Democrats get close to any kind of fairness.

Literally brainwashing people, and enraging the racists.

10. "We create our own reality."

That's the Republican strategy and has been for a long time. There were early indications of this and it always seemed to me that Democrats didn't take it seriously enough. The attitude about right wing radio for the last 30 years? Basically, 'It's total lies so I'm going to disregard it.'

So here we are, after the addition of Fox News and the internet, amazed at how steeped the republican base is in one ridiculous alternative reality after another. This is from Wikipedia regarding the phrase "Reality based community":

The phrase was attributed by journalist Ron Suskind to an unnamed official in the George W. Bush administration who used it to denigrate a critic of the administration's policies as someone who based their judgments on facts.[1] In a 2004 article appearing in the New York Times Magazine, Suskind wrote:

The aide said that guys like me were 'in what we call the reality-based community,' which he defined as people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.' [...] 'That's not the way the world really works anymore,' he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors...and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do'.

16. I think it has to do with Fox News and the complacency of the mainstream media

Nobody's willing to hold this Republican party accountable for their crimes

19. How about we just declare war on the Republican party already?

Forget trying to work with them. That is a fool's errand. Set a simple message and goals, stay with them and do not bend.

Don't even worry about the GOP and the Manchins or Sinemas. Focus on what we can do and get it done. Shut the GOP out on all fronts.

21. My hunch is Manchin switches parties if Repugs take back Congress.

Whatever it takes to stay in the spotlight.

26. They never learn, never.

But we will listen to the bitching and carping. Whats Next the midterms?

28. I really like that you can say this now without getting hidden

But if any of us warned about this earlier we were. Guess it shows it's okay to critique Democrats after they lose but not before.

Hey, I like Coastal Trail Runs as much as any other person who does their events, R or D, but ...... oh wait! DUmmie Cobalt Violet had a Dyslexic Moment ...... never mind .........

  I really do not care if Prog racism is called "CRT" or a ham-on-rye, it's the racism, DUmmie!

The solution is pretty easy here:

Take CRT and toss it away. That way you remove it as an issue. And all of you are claiming that VA wasn't teaching it so it shouldn't have been an issue to begin with. So just remove it from the lexicon, so to speak.

But you won't, because you want it there, and everyone *knows* you want it there and implemented.

So back to the drawing board for you.

Dems have no problem with "Republican lies". Dems' problems are with truths Republicans tell. And with MSM's decreasing ability to cover for the Dems.

Democrats cannot learn. Their fringe Lefty policies were rejected at the ballot box yesterday. Instead of moderating, they will double down on those same policies and force another massive defeat in 22.

Actually, I'm seeing all of these leftist critiques of "messaging" as a dog whistle for leftists everywhere to be on the alert for talking points to come down the pipe redefining specific common - focus grouped to death - terms and phrases to "now mean" what the cock suckers want them to now mean. The result being they "rebrand" their messaging without actually changing what they're saying.

I know this isn't exactly Dim'Rats "learning from their mistakes", but by engaging in what they already do well (Saul Alinsky would approve) they continue to baffle the average voter with their bullshit where they have no ability to dazzle anybody with their brilliance.
