OP
I'm sorry but he doesn't get to dictate messaging. He, like the President, is no longer ascendent in the media.

The point was the democrats did not run a woke campaign at all. Lots of tough on the border ads etc., but they didnt have a believable narrative. Too much focus group stuff and analytics rather than stating something loud and proud that may or may not be popular.
Mostly Krystal Ball talking. I know shes not popular on DU as a former Bernie person, but time to listen to others.
