FlipboardWho should be guiding the Democrats over the next four years? Maya Contreras writes for <a href="https://newsie.social/@damemagazine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@damemagazine</a> about how it’s time to listen to experts in disinformation, historians and economists. “We must center the voices who’ve consistently shown up for the party, promote new leaders that have a proven track record of winning elections, and understand that the consultants who knew how to win elections in the 1990s don’t understand how elections are won in the current environment,” Contreras writes. “We’ll need a plan to counter the right-wing echo chamber with our own robust media. That won’t be easy or cheap.” <a href="https://www.damemagazine.com/2024/11/20/democrats-policies-drowned-out/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.damemagazine.com/2024/11/20/democrats-policies-drowned-out/</a><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Disinformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Disinformation</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USPolitics</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Media</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Journalism</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/EchoChambers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EchoChambers</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/USElection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USElection</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Newstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Newstodon</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/NewstodonFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NewstodonFriday</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/FollowFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FollowFriday</a>

Musta dawned on me thusly<a href="https://newsie.social/tags/fascists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fascists</a> use <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/fearmongering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fearmongering</a> to amplify their <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/usvsthem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#usvsthem</a> mindset, which puts them down the <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/rathole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rathole</a>: <a href="https://newsie.social/@blackburied/113176623617058701" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://newsie.social/@blackburied/113176623617058701</a>Maybe the solution is to accentuate what’s going well?

Folks not wanting to fall down the rathole should prolly focus on positive events to insulate themselves from division. They said humans are too smart to react like “too many rats in a cage”, so we need to think if solutions.
