@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.
