#IssueFraming is everything. Let me take a stab at it. Why does the Democratic Party suck at it so bad? If so, what is the remedy?
Jacob T. Levy@jacobtlevy.bsky.social · last yr.Why concede “legitimate” when he’s constitutionally ineligible for the office as an insurrectionist? Why adopt his false nonsense framing of NATO defense spending? What are we doing here, NYT?

Robert Hockett@roberthockett.bsky.social · last yr.The billions of federal $ that flow to our universities flow toward 'STEM' programs. These are quite apolitical. Is Caligula not then just unilaterally disarming the nation when he cuts off funding to schools that decline his kind offer to monitor their non-STEM units for ideological purity?

Eff #civility #wdyk about decorum?
Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social · last yr.“Voters didn’t turn out for Democrats last November — not because they don’t want us to fight for our values, but because they think we don’t want to fight for our values. We need to knock off the rust of poll-tested language, decades of stale decorum.” —JB Pritzker
#WDYK? 👇👇👇
Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social · last yr.Here’s media malpractice. Chicago’s local NBC affiliate amplified the Illinois Republican Party’s lie about “paid far-left actors” at Saturday’s huge anti-Trump protest. Did Channel 5 ask ILGOP for evidence? Doubtful. Channel 5 may think including that lie is “fairness.” No, it’s complicity
That's legislating! Well done Senator Booker!

I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"
