    You can reconstruct the Democrat party all you want. It won’t make stupid Americans smart. They’ll still fall for whoever is best at peddling misinformation, fear, and hate.

    The internet and media in general has been weaponized. So unless we’re talking about the Democrat party learning how to go low and spread extreme misinformation and paranoia in order to win an election, then we’re just wasting our time talking.

      And even if they did decide to do this? How are they going to counter the massive disinformation networks the qons the qon-adjacent run? I mean, WashPo, NYT, CNN, MSNBC - all run by the corporate-friendly that will kneecap Democrats to get goodies handed out to them. Then there is Facebook, Xitter, Youtube - all skewed to the qons. And that’s not even getting into local news being completely fucked (Sinclair), outlets like Faux and OAN, along with hate radio, and then the broverse on podcasts, YT channels…

      The Democratic Party and/or the progressives have nothing even anywhere close to the coordinated and well-funded campaign the qons have…
