The average American voter thinks that one of the President’s top jobs is to keep gas prices low. Republicans have owned this issue for decades, by supporting increased oil production. ‘Drill, baby, drill’ means lower prices at the pump, and voters...

Today was an UNBELIEVABLY great day of economic news for our nation: - The Dow hit its ALL-TIME high. Like the highest. Ever. In the history of stocks. - Retail sales beat expectations (which brings a lot of economic Holiday cheer) - The Fed indicated...

Digby has picked up on a must-read piece by former GOP strategist Rick Wilson. He explains why Republicans win and Democrats lose, and what he has to say is well worth a read. (Sorry, Digby doesn’t have a link to Wilson’s post, but quotes from it.) How...

It is very likely that the 2022 midterms will be decided by middle-of-the-road voters concerned about the economy – as elections so often are. This is understandable and Democrats have an ...

Do you remember waiting for hours by the radio in hopes your favorite song would be played, or, if you were really tenacious, trying to get through to your radio station to request a song and not being able to get through? Ah, the good old days. In my...

Welcome to Nuts & Bolts , a guide to Democratic campaigns. Over the years, with the help of campaign staff, managers, volunteers, and organizations, I’ve worked to compile some of the best ...

We have had some interesting diaries, lately, here at Daily Kos, about messaging, figuring out a powerful, clear message, to persuade Americans, to vote for Democrats. Vote for Democrats. The title of this diary, Vote for Democrats. Voting Republican...

On Thursday, former California Governor and action-movie hero Arnold Schwarzenegger recorded a video and put it out “through various different channels,” in hopes of reaching some of the Russian citizens who are likely unable to get news outside of...

So as many know there is a debate going on as to whether Democratic messaging is failing badly and in desperate need of reformation vs. those who think Democratic messaging is hunky-dory and being run simply by the best minds on the planet while the...

I know this is exciting but we are giving those idiot Trump rally folks fuel to use and endangering our fellow man. President Elect won on his message of staying safe and even though you are bursting with happiness and excitement, there will be...

It’s not because they don’t hire good enough advertisers (eg, Lincoln Project). It’s because they don’t consider the perspective of the ones they are sending the message to. Trumpsters aren’t going to care that he cheated on his taxes — they wish they...

I do not disagree with Kos’s analysis of the polls. Biden is ahead and will probably stay ahead. Nevertheless, as he says, progressives need to work hard to assure that result. That leads to a serious problem. What are we supposed to say to convince...

This ad is great. Its only issue is that it’s a minute long, but it’s really well done. Biden’s voice starts out as homey and relatable, telling a story about his father, and as he imparts the story’s message, his voice builds and builds in intensity....

I have made a few YouTube videos, such as this one:
I have not listened to this lately, so I do not recall everything I said on this video, but the point is, I had something I wanted to say, something I felt was important, and I felt then, and...

Plenty of outlandish closing messages are coming from the Republican Party in these final days before the election, but this one is really ridiculous. The Grand Ol’ Party is telling voters that they want to abolish the minimum wage.

Prior to 2016, I was a more than a little naive as to the import of what a platform or unified message could do. Besides hitting the oppositions vulnerable spots, it is the underlying and insider suggestions that can create chaos for the opposing party...

John Cassidy has a story in the New Yorker on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s message to the Democratic Party from which I excerpt just Ocasio-Cortez’s words, with as few additions as possible.
“What we need to do is lay out a plan and a vision that...

Our country is crying for leadership.
I’m not talking about nuts-and-bolts policy matters, although those are extremely important and without them we’re pretty much screwed, like a house without a foundation trying to stand up in a hurricane.
