Gregory's ServerJust dug out this old video on wealth inequality in the US for someone. In case you hadn’t seen it, take the time.

@shoq I follow David Brin (the Sci-fi physicist) on FB, and he oozes the same frustration about a complete lack of storytelling and rhetorical ability on what qualifies as “left” in the us. I mean you have a graph like this, the story told very well already in this video, and how hard can it be to turn this into a campaign? Nobody is even trying … (maybe the real question is: maybe there are reasons for why not?)  @J12t It can’t be “hard” if no one every tried. And we don’t. Liberals put blind failth in well meaning message mechanics like Lakoff, Anat Shenker-Osorio and Rachel Bitecofer telling us “just message better,” but no one ever defines how we measure better except by the election results, when it’s too late to matter. We need a crowd. The fedi can and should bring one. @shoq have you considered coming to FediForum next week and running a session on exactly that subject? Might be interesting …  @resing given the video is a decade old and nothing has happened, not sure there is a next step. |
@J12t
Yeah that's a classic. It's 11 years old. And it annoys the f*** out of me, because no one has ever really weaponized it. It needs to be completely recast as something that campaigns can revolve around
