I'm sure this was obvious for some butttttt... PSA for those who didn't know.
I thought this was AC fan speed or something at first. Because it's blue. Turns out I had my seat heaters on every time I was trying to cool down my car.
Thought this deserved its own thread.
The D+5 ~ D+7 environment we are in is surprisingly underwhelming given how broadly hated the president and his admin is.
I think a clear root cause is the lack of a cohesive media strategy from the DNC.
Let's talk the DNC and YouTube as an example. YouTube is the most important long-form video platform in the US. It costs nothing to upload videos aside from what it takes to make them. It is PERFECT for a political party making their case for their platform onto the wider political environment.
The Democratic Party's official channel has weekly videos on random topics, kinda whatever they feel like making it seems.
They all average about ~5k views. Is this not an obvious problem to solve? There are soooo many cracked professionals on the YouTube platform that know how to produce videos such that they organically get a huge reach.
The Democratic Party must have access to some of the best speechwriters in the world, and some of the best speakers in the world. Or at least have the capital to pay them, or AT LEAST ask if they would offer their services pro-bono. I'm sure many of these people would work for a smaller paycheck because it's for the goddamn fate of the country.
So like... what's the hold-up here? Why aren't we getting very well-produced content straight from the party? Why are their videos getting such poor views, which is a SOLVABLE problem for an entity like the DNC, with access to the resources they do?
Why don't we have weekly addresses from hot, quality speakers, written by great speechwriters, and produced by people who know how to edit for YouTube? Why don't we have a MOUNTAIN of this kind of content already given how much money has flowed through the party?
I know a lot of elected Dems and pro-Dem channels on YouTube produce a bunch of random content like this. Jon Ossoff appears to have a successful channel, with videos and shorts often hitting 1Mil views.
We NEED this to be a cohesive strategy, top-down, planned out. It would do SO much to boost the national profile of the party.
Get it fucking together and adopt a media strategy, DNC! Come onnnnnnn!!!! pokes them with a stick
