(4,868 posts)lies and misinformation, and explain exactly what is happening.
That includes television ads, going on news programs, and social platforms and explaining exactly what is happening and WHY.
They have to do their F**KING job, and that means getting the truth out, and not just sitting back assuming everything will be fine.
That has been one of the biggest faults of many Democrats, they assume the truth will always come out in the end.
Kerry did that, and he lost. They first tried to associate a sexual affair with a campaign worker, and that campaign worker came out and said it was hogwash, and the story went away. So when the swift pukes came out and blemished his service, Kerry did NOT push back, but just let the crappy news media push the swift boat lies. It doomed his campaign.
They tried to do it with President Obama, with Wright, but Obama DID NOT SIT back and assume that everything would come out fine in the end. He gave a national press conference, took questions, and not only gave answers, but clearly stated where he stood.
This is what the Democrats have to do. You have to actively fight. Newsom is giving a good example how it should be done, but there are very few elected Democrats that seem to have the motivation to do that, and that has to change, or it will be over for our Democracy.

(1,562 posts)From inside the White House to the banners plastered on government websites, Donald Trump and administration officials are explicitly blaming Democratic members of Congress for the federal shutdown.
Watchdog groups say the statements are in apparent defiance of ethics laws that prohibit political attacks and campaigning from inside federal facilities which the president has continued to do since entering office without facing any consequences.
The Radical Left in Congress shut down the government, according to a large pop-up message and a bright red banner on the Department of Housing and Urban Development's website.
Another message at the top of the Department of Justice website says, Democrats have shut down the government.
Due to the Democrat-led shutdown, website updates will be limited until full operations resume, according to a red banner on the State Departments website.
The OMB director blamed the impending shutdown on Democrats' insane policy demands, which include $1 trillion in new spending.

What's our Big Time (this really matters) game plan to assert the facts in the face of a fully-predictable bullshit tsunami from Trump (as always)?
We should have been primed for all-hands-on-deck fact and truth campaign -- ready for the long term, because the Republicans are out to trash America and replace it with their Techno-Christo Control Plutocracy for the Elite and their obedient servants.
That sucks.
