Too many words Adam...

Democratic messaging strategies continues to assume that the comms is being consumed by smart people. How often do we see statements and explanations that span minutes and minutes...

Keep it sharp and to the point - and if it takes all those minutes to get to the point, then it's obvious that your real audience is not the one you are trying to change.

FOX thrives on the soundbite - and their MAGA owners keep creating them.

Democratic messaging is usually a soliloquy or stump speech. This can't work when the average American voter has a 15sec attention span.

Anyway, that's me just venting.

@Rhiannon, I continue to thrive on your posts! Love and peace to you!
