Messaging for the Destruction of the Voting Rights Act: Latest addition to the Freedom Over Fascism Toolkit

Until our candidates and electeds figure out how to get on the same page -- an effective page -- and figure out how to repeat the most effective messages over, and over, and over, and over, and over until they are sick of hearing themselves say them, and then say those things over, and over, and over and over again some more, we are not reaching the public.

Freedom Over Fascism Tool Kit

It is constantly updated. The newest section added to the "Rapid Response" section is "Messaging Guidance for the Destruction of the Voting Rights Act"

Whenever a new section is added I print and mail to my WA Rep and Senators with URL for the whole thing.

Don't know if it makes a difference, but perhaps if more people did the same, Democrats inside the beltway bubble would begin to wake the f up.

They are our leaders. It's our job to push them to LEAD. And that job is Serious AF!!

The notion that these ideas had to be workshopped and assigned some qualitative value is the epitome of what’s wrong with Dem messaging. This has all passion and genuineness stripped right out. You’d think a passionate belief in the right to vote would drive Dem leaders into the streets.

...non-violent communication

I see it as no different than applying insights from cognitive research like George Lakoff's.

I for one believe there is value in understanding how humans process information and how that understanding can be applied to learning to communicate with each other more effectively.

Perhaps this interview will provide insights into the communication approach and the radical difference from the "conventional wisdom" of the Democratic Party's beltway bubble consultant class.
