As much as I'd hate for Democrats to start using the same tactics that tore national unity apart, taking the high road hasn't really worked thus far. Democrats are terrible at messaging, while Republicans excel at it despite having terrible messages.

If I ever became insanely wealthy (with the associated lapse in ethics), I'd fund a social media blitz that uses all the same underhanded tactics Republicans do to reach their voters, but that would contain the objective truth in convenient, bite-sized quotables since that's what seems to work, with citations so any actually literate viewers can verify the information.

If democracy is failing due to a glut of bad information, we should put out good information faster and better and in a way that works. Speeches and policy pages don't work in the modern era, pithy one-liners do.
