re: #25 Higgs Boson’s Mate
Democrats do little to refute the “They’re all equally bad,” meme. Their messaging is often the equivalent of bringing a ukelele to a gunfight.
QFT. Most Dems aren’t as organized as the GOP are.
The Republicans have the advantage of a media machine that goes, lockstep, with every single talking point they come up with. Radio shows, Fox News, Right Wing blogs, even GOP politicians. The level of integrated messaging is impressive. It’s literally the same message across every medium.
Democrats, since they don’t live in a talking point filled bubble, lack such a cohesive machine to serve their ends. It’s a big issue and one not easily addressed.
