Further on the subject of Democratic messaging, it’s confounding that no one from the liberal side of our country has put together an adequate response to the Movement Conservatives’ powerful campaign of propaganda, party doctrine planning, and recruitment created over the past 60 years. Take ALEC, https://alec.org/about, for instance. They have been the leading force behind so many battles in Congress and legislatures across the country; they have written almost all the voter-suppression laws passed in 2021. Yet the Democrats disdain their approach. I was assigned by Heather’s Herd to look into this, and I reached out to the nearest competitor, the State Innovation Exchange (SiX). Their National Communications Director, Katy Fleury, told me that “As for SiX, we do not operate like ALEC (For example, we’re not a “bill mill” that churns out copycat legislation). We know that policy alone won’t fix our democracy and economy, so we take a policy plus approach--we share policy research from issue experts, as well as communications, strategy, connections with movement partners, and other types of support that legislators need.) We do provide tailored support for state legislators, and democracy is one of our primary issue areas.”
Read it and weep. “…democracy is one of our primary issue areas.”
