Democratic strategy during the shutdown

[pete6032]

If I was in charge of the party, there would be a full on ad blitz about how badly Republicans are hurting this country right now. Find an elderly disabled person who depends on food stamps and film a clip of them talking about the impact of the Republican shutdown on their own livelihood. Interview angry travelers who stood in line for 3 hours at Houston airport. Show viral videos of ICE violently detaining American citizens. Put it up against a backdrop of videos of the Trump Mar a Lago Halloween party. Blast the ads on Youtube, every streaming service, etc.

I'd also have House members back in their districts doing food drives/work at pantries.

Speaking of which: please everybody donate to your local food bank.

Exactly. Blast it all over Tiktok. I want to see AOC, Jeffries, Schumer, etc packing grocery bags.

I am seeing a lot of this stuff. It's a way for MSM to counter the fascism going on in regular news broadcasting.

Watched a video yesterday, Dr. Mike interviewing Chuck Schumer. People rag on Schumer all the time but he's got more of a conscience than any Republican near as I can tell.

That's good but if I was to judge the MSM since the election I would find them to be guilty accessories to the downfall of our democracy. ICE raids have gotten very little coverage and Trump gets a pass for nearly everything. So frustrating.

I don't know where you are or what MSM you access. Where I am there's been a lot of coverage of ICE raids. However, I've stopped regularly watching TV news, so my finger isn't on MSM pulse like it was. I don't see Trump getting a pass.

The ads I see on TV a lot lately are pro-prop-50 California and they are all anti-Trump. Personally, I don't have a positive view of Trump on anything. He's for me literally public enemy number one.

Probably actually CBP, an agency that is actually worse than ICE.
