1) "I'm sorry that my opponent does not respect you or the rule of law."
2) "The policies I support, and will vote for in your name, are for YOUR benefit and to provide a fair playing field."
3) "Free markets are not what make your life better FAIR and FREE Markets do."

Trying to convince the opposition with facts hasn't worked in the past.
Best to point to everyday examples,
Such as postal service, fire department, library's etc.

because they are. Everyone knows he's a liar. So we need to state that upfront at the beginning of every response.

Yet their media has convinced the general public that the opposite is true. Don’t let them get away with it.

It will work if Democrats don’t fight back.

surgeries in the public schools to see where this will go. Of course those were blatantly untrue too. But Dems acted "above it all" as Walsh described it. No. That's doesn't work. At least point out that they are lying.

The response has been to throw progressives under the bus by partnering with Republicans in attacking progressives...some Democratic consultants literally advocating for progressives being thrown out of the Democratic Party and their primary wins cancelled.

That seems to be the response so far.

Democrats don't control the legislature and win back the Presidency.
Think strategically ..... We need to keep our BIG tent with both progressives and more moderate democrats cooperating, not fighting with each other.

We are winning primary elections. It's not a secret plot against anyone. We ran in primaries like any other candidate, just because progressives are winning against incumbents.
If incumbents are losing those elections, maybe they should have been listening to their constituents.

The only people fighting other Democrats are the moderates. Maybe they should stop talking and start listening more.

do they need to add the term "socialist" to their identity?
I think their policies are what's winning, not that description.

In the midterms we need to win with voters who don't typically vote in primaries. Yes, even Moderates and Independents.

...and the Republicans have themselves superior to Democrats in the propaganda battles.

That's part of it. But they also lie. We can speak their language too, but we can tell the truth.

...and trillionaires to run and ruin our lives.

It's not nearly good enough to just say you don't need to be scared of us--there are PLENTY of reasons to be scared of the opposition, but Democrats do not seem to be out there enough pointing out how much control the current Republican party has given to the handful of billionaires that most decidedly DO NOT have the interest of the public at heart.

It is NOT a choice between Democratic Socialism and Capitalism; it is a choice between having a society that functions on the most basic level for everyone and a society where you beg your billionaire overlord for the right to live this week after they've taken your job, destroyed your planet, and bought every election that might have made your life better.

and I want more of it. I was also want Dems to meet this lie about communism head on.

My wife was just at their house the other day and her dad was railing about how this is becoming a Communist country...while they live on Medicare...and Social Security...

They're not gonna be convinced by detailed arguments about why it's not communism or whatever. They need to hear that it's a LIE.

No excuses. No justifications. No qualifiers.

The divisions within today's Democratic Party are real and I don't ignore them or pretend they don't exist. But the narrative from the right that these disagreements signal the party's collapse is exaggerated and designed to dominate the conversation. As the midterms approach, conservatives have every incentive to amplify Democratic infighting while deflecting attention from the elephants in the room: higher gas prices, higher grocery bills, and stagnant wages.
