    Negative messaging works, as much as people like to pretend it doesn’t.

    At least in this case it definitely didn’t.

        Trump employed both negative and positive messaging, and that’s why he won. Trump was saying “the dems will destroy America but I will make America great again”, meanwhile Harris was saying “Trump will destroy America, but I will… Not do much”. You can probably imagine why one was more effective.

          Did you see her ads? Or hear some of her speeches? She definitely had positive messaging, too. The fact is undermining education is finally coming home to roost and it has effected all of us. You want out of this mess? Make the masses clap. Thats the game now.

            She had positive messaging, but not where people wanted it. This is the woman who, when asked if she would do anything different from Biden in regards to the economy, said “nothing comes to mind” while promising to put Republicans in her cabinet. She also kept going back on her early promises in the late part of the election, so she was basically screaming at the top of her lung that she’s not reliable and her promises don’t matter.

              Believe me, we’re on the same page. The only time the democrats had steam was when they switched and before anyone opened their mouths. All they had to do was be progressives and also represent change instead of more of the same. It would have been a slam dunk for anyone not worried about corporate donors. We wanted more Lina Khan.
