    On the one hand, I generally agree that Democrats are just not great at branding. The GOP has just generally been far better at making their positions sound more friendly and has been better at making their preferred terms stick.

     

    When it comes specifically to the DSA, I don't really have a big problem with using the word socialist. I think it's a fitting term, and while their platform is absolutely not Marxist, the people who will wrongly assume that they are probably aren't going to vote for them anyways. 

     

    A significant portion of the electorate think Pelosi is a Marxist.

    He's not in happy-go-lucky dunking on Michael Cohen mode in that interview.

     

     

     

    A number of you like to roll your eyes at him as some kind of showboating attention-seeker but in his own words:

    "Frankly, every time I appear on television, we get more," Avenatti said of information provided to him by whistleblowers. "So that's what the people that have been critical of my media strategy don't get either through ignorance or just because they're so biased. The reason why I utilized this strategy and not only Stormy's case, but in connection with the border case is because it works. People see me on television, they want me to serve as their lawyer, and they provide information and documents for us to use."

     

    "You saw last night on Rachel Maddow which was just a small fraction of the total information that we already have," he continued. "And since last night's appearance, I've already had two additional whistleblowers reach out to me last night and this morning."

    Eh.  The Democrats risk having these "in your face"  confrontations backfire on them come November.  MAGA Chuds will see themselves as the victims and come out in droves to vote for their candidates if you push them.

     

    Fox will tell the chuds this is happening regardless of whether or not it is.

    If I was the restaurant owner I would have paid my waiter to give that slob completey awful service. Fuck up the easiest parts of their order, take a long time with everything, cut them off while they’re talking. 

     

    Make them wait an hour after taking their order, then indignantly deny that they've been waiting an hour, and that you can't speak for the kitchen and refer them to outside counsel if they have further questions.

    For sure. I appreciate it.

     

    It looks like getNewComment and getLastComment are different things and that I wanted the former but had the latter. I just updated it, I think that should now bring it up to where it was the last time you opened the thread.
