I think the problem is less “the campaign” communicating and more… there is no way for them to reach the majority of the audience.
There are plenty of memes about people realizing on election day that Biden wasn’t running. And… that isn’t that far out. Because people:
Refuse to watch commercials… ever
Get pissy when “politics” is brought up in their entertainment
Get even pissier when “politics” is brought up in a message board
So republicans can more or less advertise directly to the fox news crowd and they have influencers like xqc and all of kick to get that message out.
On the left side? We have fucking Hasan. A nepo baby who has somehow convinced people to equate “being a socialist and fighting for progress” with “donating subs to a super rich guy in a mansion” and whose own fans point out that he “Attacked both sides but attacked trump a lot worse”
We need people who can reach out to the idiots. And we need people who can do so and actually say “Look. I fucking hate Biden and am wary of Kamala. They are going to be horrible for Palestine. But you know who is going to be worse? Fucking trump. So yeah, I would vote for Genocide Joe in a heartbeat if the alternative is trump and that is what we need to understand”
John Oliver did a spectacular job of saying almost exactly that. But he is on HBO and has a much smaller audience.
Aside from that? I guess we had Walz playing Madden with AOC a few times?
It feels like Democrats are still running TV ads and phone banking. Whereas republicans are bringing out ALL the grifters to push their side.

really good insight and it sounds like a good opportunity for the DNC to find those channels rather than give up and court suburban conservatives.
