Thoughts from an Independent
Democrats - If you've been watching FOX News, you'll see and hear why the GOP has been successful in connecting with the American voter base. Consider the messages they've been pounding home:
Democrats want open boarders
Democrats want free stuff
Democrats are socialists
Democrats hate capitalism
Democrats want a welfare state
You get the idea. They may not always be telling the truth, but these simple (elementary school) messages connect deeply with many Americans because they're so easy to understand.
Now flip over to MS Now or CNN and look at a sampling of their messages:
On Inflation: The result is an obvious and multifaceted problem for a president whose directly responsible for having created the economic conditions that are fueling the affordability crisis he was elected to address.
On farm foreclosures: This alienation of reliably conservative rural voters, who have long been a backbone of the GOP electorate, could have significant ramifications for the future of Trump’s policy agenda.
On Iran: So it’s positioned much better than the United States as a democracy where public opinion matters. "People’s anger will be felt at a political level.”
Too complicated, too many big words, too multi-faceted. Democrats - You may very well be telling the truth here, but it's going over the heads of many voters. If you don't dumb down your messages a bit, you won't connect with all the voters you want to reach.
Those are the facts, Jack. Just the facts.
