Framing an Effective Message to Shape Public Opinion

I wish the Democratic Party would fire their Beltway Insider Advisors and Pollsters and learn to message more effectively because this is what shapes public opinion.

Example:

Meh: Republicans want to cut social security.

Much More Effective: Trump and Republicans are literally STEALING YOUR social security money to give Billionaires more tax cuts. It's not an entitlement: YOU PAID INTO IT! Voting for Republicans is endorsing Robin Hood in reverse!

Meh: Trump is acting like a dictator.

Much More Effective: Donald never believes any law applies to him. But do you know WHY he gets away with it? It's either because the Republican Party and the US Supreme Court is full of cowards or because they endorse Trump's Authoritarianism.

YOU have the power to change this in 2026!
