They are beholden to the truth. To word it differently if it helps: they have to tell the truth, they have to be accurate, they have to explain reality, they have to explain how things work and why things don’t work. It’s the same reason left media doesn’t hold a candle to right wing media. The right wing media can twist, misportray, and outright lie. But the left media can’t, they are beholden to the truth.

I mean look at your reply. No offence, but it’s the exact wordy reply to jump though all the hoops in order to be accurate that I’m talking about. It that doesn’t hit. “We are trying” doesn’t hit, people don’t want that weak talk. “Republicans are blocking”, guess what people don’t want explanations, they want results. “Because they like…” holy cow you’ve lost everyone because they don’t want to know about mechanisms, they want elementary speak like Trump does. Congress and how it works? Holy cow. People. do. not. care. People. do. not. understand. Add it all up and everyone has tuned it out. You are grossly overestimating how much people know and think. This is why Dem messaging sucks, they have to jump through all this just like you did (because they are beholden to the truth and being accurate) and the message doesn’t hit.

I think I’ve said everything I can, it’s just repeating.
