Put your 2 cents in your Pocket and get in the street [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-02-29 If you are not speaking up in public and standing up for Democracy — What the Fuck are you waiting for? This is the moment where are good defense is a great offense. We need to make more momentum. Whatever, however, and with whomever you need to collaborate with, to get our team in an unstoppable Blitz — go figure it out and get doing whatever it is that you do best. Your opinion on KOS means jack shit. If you are on here for hours a day opining and bathing yourself in “should” talk about what everyone else needs to do — you are setting the table for defeat. The Gop and the Billionaire Fascists that pull the strings know how to blitz and how to take all the oxygen out of the air in the media. We sit back and complain at a table they set for us. DON'T let them. You make the framing. You get loud. Don’t aim for the minds of your opponents — aim for their feelings. Pull them to your side with an emotional appeal that got them on that side. the work has been done for you. Call the dogs with the whistle and get them on your side. Once they leave the other side — then you can build them up and reinforce normative thinking. We are in this fucking mess because that strategy works, so fucking well — it can move a society to dictatorship. Do you want to win? Or do you want to win a debate with an audience and judge of 1 — you.
