I don't mean that as playing defense and trying to explain or contextualize the nonsense that the right is putting out (telling people to watch the whole clip, for instance)? They can't constantly play prevent defense. At some point, they need to push their offense on the right, especially the Republicans, to put *them* on the defense for a change. On the odd occasion where videos etc that pokes holes in their narrative surface, they *do* start losing their footing. Democrtats or some Democratic affiliated group needs to work on that all the time, not leave it to happenstance, and not sit on their hands for three years than hope pushing things out the last few months will make a difference.
If they want their point to get across (assuming there are some points the party can actually unify around) is a 24/7 effort. There are no holidays, no bureaucratic slowdown, no time to put a fine polish on the message. Know what you want to say and say it all the time.
Just my two cents.
