THIS is the message we have been waiting for!

This is the best post ever on how to get Dems on the same messaging page.

I'm going to send it to every person IRL, on a phone bank, and on social media who complains that Dems are bad at unified messaging.

Are you and Simon Rosenberg of Hopium Chronicles in touch, Antonia? Significant mutually helpful work, by both of you!

I was one of Simon's first Hopium Chronicles subscribers on Substack, a year ago, and have seen his language develop and strengthen along the lines of your guidance here.

And for a bit of humor, considering you posted the Three Musketeers photo, reading your post here the phrase came to me: "To Lakoff and Beyond!" ... But I don't have a graphic of George in a Buzz Lightyear suit. ;-)

Haha! Sounds like a job for AI. I have met Simon but we haven't sat down for a real chat. I should do something about that! Thank you for your kind words.

This is a great idea. Simon has pretty broad reach among activists, likewise Robert Hubbell and HCR. They could all benefit from hearing your message about Dems' messaging!

Another angle on talking to Simon. His messaging is strongly about Joe Biden and things are better with Dems. Good for activating Dems and turning them out. But not as good for connecting with uncertain or conservative folks. And not as foundational as what you're proposing. The two systems of messaging fit nicely together and are complementary. We need what you have to say!
