A couple of messaging ideas for the Democratic Party and those on the left, here in the U.S. and elsewhere, for more direct, easy to understand and more difficult to confuse or subvert communication with the general public:
Progress, moving forward, progressive; not socialism or socialist.
Make U.S. #BetterThanEver
Anyone here want #Greens, #PSL & other #Leftwing parties to make a rally: #BernieSanders & #AOC Aren't Gonna Save Us, We Want #Revolution!
Because that's what we truly need to bash this into peoples' heads.
We will need food and water more than we will need guns.

Politicians commonly claim that the #USA has been a "beacon of #democracy" for the past 250 years, at home & abroad.
The #US intervened in foreign #elections at least 128 times between 1946 & 2014, to sway outcomes in its own interests, usually to prevent #leftwing parties from coming to power.
The issue of authoritarianism transcends party lines.
No single political figure is the reason for America's decline.
No single entity can accept full blame for our slow degradation.
Most don't even know how old the issues affecting our republic are.

some #nonvoters are #rightWing turds too
we see the #toxicIdealism on the #left, the "it's not perfect so i won't #vote" because we're on #mastodon and in other social silos on the left, which amplifies our impression
still, it's a lot of people like that, enough to make a difference
which is why some of these toxic idealism voices we see are just #geopolitical #trollFarm #psyop, cosplaying their fake #leftWing bonafides and working hard to suppress the vote on the left
while talking with my #grandpa about the #tariffs today, i think i settled on another realization. a lot of the ignorance and uneducation on the right comes from the idea of wisdom aquired with age. when i go to thanksgiving, i know that what i say is valued just as much as what my grandpa says, but i feel like on the right there’s a lot more of the “i’m older than you so i know better and you’re just wrong” mentality.
Back at the very beginning of January I mentioned¹ I'd stumbled across Han Hogan, one half of the artist duo "Namaco" behind "Mega Dreoilín"² ³, considered by one critic as:
...one of the best Irish artworks of 2024 so far... incredibly engaging, brilliantly designed, sophisticated in its form and execution, and unexpectedly moving.
Han is a dynamo! She's been working with Donal on a new artwork/game/commentary:
...a video game about the Irish economy: why we have found ourselves here and where to go next. Specifically it looks at the idea of neocolonialism by multinationals who don’t pay taxes etc - and the wider effects on people’s lived reality in Ireland.
This work will be part of a group exhibition, "Liquid Urbanisms"⁴, at the Lab Gallery in Dublin city centre from Friday 14 March to Thursday 24 April 2025.

President #DonaldTrump is on the #WarPath again, this time railing against the #media and publishers whose stories he doesn’t like.
#Trump took to his platform #TruthSocial ( aka the #MinistryOfPropaganda ) to suggest that any negative #press is a result of #LeftWing media attacking him for the “Best Opening Month” of presidency the U.S. has ever seen.

We (the rest of the #world) all should start untangling ourselves from #US #onlineservices. It’s also clear that #TikTok is, for some reason, cuddling up to #Trump. I’m not sure what #China is up to, especially since they are a #socialist country pushing #fascism on their app. And don’t think for a second #Google won’t bury #leftwing and #critical voices even more than they already do. Additionally, now they they are all cozy with the #trumpregime they will hand over all their data so they can suppress dissidents, both inside and outside the #US. #socialmedia #siliconvalley #dictatorship #America #bigtech #tech
Literally, just before I clicked on the video, I was wondering when the #Trump regime would get around to real-deal #dictator #persecution. So, when is the rebellion? Never. The #American public are doing nothing and will continue to do nothing. Just like the spineless, useless #Democrats. #MAGA are all on board. Google WILL de-platform #leftwing #YouTubers. It’s not a matter of if, but when.
