Here's the biggest problem I see right now with the #Democrats #election #strategy.
They are leaning into fear, and fear doesn't get people to move or #vote #left.
Fear is the weapon of the right. It is their tool, and making people fearful inherently makes them want to go into protection mode. That, in turn, attracts them toward #conservativism.
Fear will always push people #Right, even if the source of that fear is the right. It might push them to a slightly different Right, but it's definitely not moving them left. It's not a good way to motivate people already inclined toward the left.
The emotion that does push left is Anger. #Anger has the opposite effect. It deflates conservativism - even if the anger is directed at the left! It pushes people to seek justice, and pushes people left.
#Biden can't #campaign on fear, he has to campaign on rage. That emotional well is deep and untapped. There is so much to be angry about and it could all be laid at #Trump's feet.
The campaign can't be about fear of losing #democracy, it has to be anger at the #rights we've already lost.
Point out the #injustice to the black communities in America, to the rural communities in America. Point out the injustice of big tech, offshored jobs. Point out the injustice of a government controlled by the mega wealthy. Present yourself as the standard bearer and direct the anger and rage toward the #polls.
