The left is good at making up slogans that the right uses against them. The left says that black lives matter. The right replies, 'Oh, so white lives don't matter?"

Yes, no one complains that cure cancer campaigns unfairly exclude heart disease. Or that save the whales campaigns should include all aquatic mammals. Still, the predictable response could have been preempted by adding the word too.

Defund the Police is another one. It doesn't really mean what that implies to most of us. People who have seen things like head start, school lunches, fine arts programs, mental health, social work, etc. "defunded" understand.

Ironically, a Fox News head said defund the police missed the point. He said police should not be social workers or conflict resolution specialists. They should be law enforcement officers. That is kind of the point of defund the police.

The left needs more effective messaging.

I think you underestimate the confirmation bias inherent in the brainwashed GOP base

Not really. I am saying it should be anticipated and preempted if possible.

https://foxsportsradio.iheart.com/content/2021-06-28-jay-williams-blames-a-hacker-for-glaring-mistake-about-new-celtics-coach/

Quote
ESPN analyst Jay Williams was roasted by Twitter users on Wednesday (June 23) when his account shared a post congratulating Brooklyn Nets assistant Ime Udoka on reportedly finalizing a deal to become the Boston Celtics' next head coach.

In the since-deleted tweet, Williams credits Udoka as "one talented individual who has paid his dues," while falsely addressing him as the "first head coach of color for the Celtics."

The latter part, of course, is untrue, given that Boston has not only had five previous Black head coaches -- including Doc Rivers as recently as 2013 -- but also was the first NBA franchise to hire a Black head coach in Bill Russell.

Williams quickly deleted the tweet and addressed it several hours later, blaming a hacker for the post.

"As it relates to the Boston Celtics tweet that came from my account a couple of hours ago… I did not post that & my passcode has now been changed," Williams tweeted.

There must be an immediate, complete recanvass of the BOE’s vote count and a clear explanation of what went wrong. The voters deserve nothing less.

Right wing conspiracy theorists at it again. Our democracy is under attack.

What?  Not thrilled with Ladyboss picking Liz Cheney to serve on January 6th committee. 

Odd bedfellows, these times make.
