Well, yeah, but that was the “problem” with greta thunberg as well. And even if the person delivering the message is perfect and can’t be downplayed for any aspect of their appearance or delivery, maga just has to talk in a high pitched sarcastic voice that 'LibEraLs aLwaYs wAnt SucH StUpid THings!"
In my opinion, part of that attitude is a valid criticism. Republicans are good at constructing messages that appeal to the emotional and instinctual parts of the brain. A lot of democrats have been stuck in a pattern of indignation and admonishing, which is what I detect in this kids videos.
If you look at the last two promising progressive campaigns, they were ones that also figured out how to appeal to emotionality. Obama overcame a major establishment competitor with Hope, Change, and pop art. Bernie did better than any leftist has ever done by focusing on a battle against the elites that must be waged before it is too late.
It seems like the rallying cry is more effective for swing voters and nonvoters than intellectual outrage is.
Yep. The highest point of harris’ campaign was when walz got the ‘weird’ bit going. We (humanity) has to face the fact that we are mostly dumb, panicky animals that logic touches but doesn’t often guide.
What Republicans are good at is having a propaganda outlet lying to everyone that watches it for 30 years and is treated even by opponents as if it is a news source.
Ok but a big part of how that works is by convincing people that their emotional arguments are rational and that their opponents’ rational arguments are condescension and moral arguments are emotional

The Conservative Propaganda Machine.
It’s not just Fox News, it’s an entire network of interconnected Conservative media outlets, from radio, to print, to Internet, to TV.
