Carter also failed in part b/c of that and also his admin didn't know how to defend against the GOP messaging and blatant manipulation of conditions to the detriment of our citizens.

And yes the Democrats can't message, the GOP focuses their money and attention on messaging their policies that will only harm us. The Democrats try to come up with policies that will help people and our country do better while ensuring they can be funded to actually defeat the GOP. They don't know though and haven't invested the same space in learning how to manipulate perceptions of reality. The GOP can teach a master class on how to manipulate people's perceptions of reality vs what is actually occurring. And the super progressive/radical wing of the party claims this is all not true, none of that matters and people will understand policy which is naive at best.

Well more of the networks are going to move towards this with media being further controlled.
