2. You'll get most traditional Dems with that, but you probably won't win extra voters

Calling MAGA and Traditional R's liars and dog whistling pranksters may in many respects be true, but it isn't going to welcome folks around those dog whistlers to vote blue

Name calling goes knee deep into the muck exposing the name caller as being a person with an opposing attitude to non-Dem listeners.

We need rhetoric that helps build the reception of the brand and its products. We don't need to stiffen the backs of opponents

Why not do something that not only paints Dems as GOOD, do something that makes Dems GOALS OBVIOUS AND DESIREABLE

Why not create a new rhetoric like Dems: The FAIR-DEALERS. When R's go after that, they'll expose their own hostility to a very important thing that American voters WANT
