How to Change the Narrative [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

As a communication consultant of over 30 years, I know that it is consumers who tank a brand. Who tanked teslas? Some products have been recalled for a single incident because everyone rallied behind that single incident.
Stop tanking our brand, for this is not the time, there are no elections around the corner and if you keep this up there will be no elections in the future.
We are the support system for the democratic brand right now and if we are tanking them, we cannot win. If you don’t like something a dem is doing the best thing is to ignore it at this point in time, let it sink beneath notice, unless it’s something really compromising like fraud, sexual assault, but when it comes to disagreement over their handling of one thing or another, if you disagree just do it internally for the moment.
We cannot build confidence in the Dem’s brand by spotlighting every little thing we disagree with (and yes I include myself in this).
Some ideas:
Dos
Start flooding the zone with heartbreaking stories
Start celebrating any positive moves dems make no matter how small
Highlight the parts of the laws that will affect rural/white areas
Share clips highlighting the mental decline of trump
Refer to him as 47 or President or simply talk about what he does – NO Naming
Take pictures of prices now so you can do clips with rising prices and empty shelves
Make Dem speeches viral (not 47’s)
Focus on Medicare/Medicaid/Irs/Tax returns/ Social security
Take the media down, every time they go easy on him flood their messages / unsubscribe/ drop them
DONTs
Stop highlighting stuff Dems do you think are bad
Stop sharing pics of him or his name refer to him as 47/president
Stop berating dems (this ain’t the time for that)
