Democrats don’t just lack a message — they also lack a messenger.
While the focus is on the former, the latter is forgotten, as if somehow solving their message problem will automatically create the messenger to deliver it. In fact, the opposite is occurring; Democrats’ message problems are killing off their potential messengers. Democrats’ message problems are much discussed… for good reason. They killed not one, but two Democratic 2024 presidential campaigns.

It's not just messenging. It has everything to with a party that hollowed itself out politically, morally, and spiritually. Samo samo talking points at every election - abortion, the gimmedats, and obeyance to the state.

I thought Jasmine Crockett (Democratic - TX) was their new spokesperson.

That’s because every known Democrat is a proven liar - the lesser known are seen as lie regurgitating sycophants, and their messages as proven lies.
The incessant lies were quicker on the scene, and much more prevalent than truth. They had a long run of success, but their growing viciousness and absurdity challenged common sense to the point of questioning. The resulting cracks allowed truth to shine its light until it dispelled the darkness and showed not only the lies, but many of the liars. They basically caused the truth to be allowed to be seen, and then heard. Those who care about truth won’t be easily fooled again.

Oh, Democrats have a message alright: WI Gov. Tony Evers, a Democrat, is facing backlash for introducing a budget recommendation that changes the word "mother" to "inseminated person," and "paternity" to "parentage" in certain parts of state law. The Evers administration's budget recommendation for the 2025-2027 fiscal period advises several other gendered terms be changed, as well. References to "wife" or "husband" are changed to "spouse" in the proposal. In other places, the word "father" is changed to "parent," and "mother" is swapped out for the phrase "parent who gave birth to the child."

Well, for a party that is nothing but messaging, this is certainly a death knell.
While Trump is a master messenger, it is what he is doing that matters. DOGE is not a message. It is a functional operation that is uncovering massive fraud, waste, and theft hidden under labels of dubious purpose. Considering the financial crisis we are in, this MATTERS.
The bloat and rot in government and the Deep State manipulators are being sliced out through closing wasteful programs and firing personnel. This is not a message and it MATTERS.
Trump has directly confronted the lies of media and won financial settlements from them proving that their "anything goes" attitude is NOT viable. Their ratings have collapsed, they are losing money, and they are shrinking staff including many of the worst liars in media. They have lost their ability to set a false narrative. This is not a message and it MATTERS.
The roundup of illegal alien criminals is proceeding and will continue to expand. This is not a message and it MATTERS.
The focus of the military is being returned to fighting and winning battles instead of social engineering. The renewed purpose is attracting new recruits and quickly reducing a manpower shortage. This is not a message and it MATTERS.
Trump is using tariffs like a club to get fair economic deals with out neighbors. This is not a message and it MATTERS.
Trump has wrested the war out of the hands of Russia and Ukraine and is shoving them to closure. Too much damage has been done to get a good deal for all but Trump is pointing out that it is only going to get worse and that the US will NOT support endless war. The parties are coming to the table. This is not a message and it MATTERS.
The above hits only part of the highlights.
The dems had power for 4 years and had NO successes. Trump has been in office a month and has completely reoriented the government to the better.
The problem the dems have is not their messaging. The dems have no substance, and THAT is not fixable by any resources they have. They completely lack any real capacity to productively govern and the American People have now seen that. The dems cannot talk their way out of their pathetic reality. They are the Walking Dead, still dangerous but still DEAD.

They should elect AOC as their leader. She is the poster child for the Dem party.

The trouble is that the Democrat’s messages have all been lies. More and more of the voters have become aware of this and don’t like being lied to, no matter how the lie is packaged.
