      That’s one of the many problems people in America focus on way too much. It shouldn’t matter how he’s delivering it. That’s too emotional, this is logical. Stick. To. The. Message. Stick. To. The. Facts.

        100% the facts should be all that matter, but clearly (after seeing the success of the facts-optional Republican party) how it’s delivered matters too. A bad delivery gives people an attack angle…

          I don’t think it has anything to do with the angle, it has everything to do with like republicans buying up radio like 50 years ago then buying up TV in the 90s, and all the tech bros and social media aligning with republicans in 2020.

          If you can fully engulf people in your alternate reality echo chamber for long enough it just becomes true. And in order to create fact-free reality you need to deeply hate the people you’re lying to. Republican leaning dems often support this structure by meeting the lies half way.

          The way to beat this is to make these media companies expensive and useless. To use power to break them up into local outlets or expose them to financial risk for misleading people. And the way to get that power is to find real problems media is steering people away from and addressing those problems.

          Angle, no. Delivery, yes. It needs to be explained 2-3 times in different ways so that people with different understandings can follow and learn to expand what’s is happening and the cause of it. Like a good teacher going in and out from multiple points of view
