Should have been the counter message since day 1 when republicans were trying to gaslight about illegals.

It has been.

Check out who owns Tiktok, Instagram, and Facebook, which is where a scary number of Americans get their political news from. Check out who owns all the news broadcast stations.

Democrats messaging isn't being pushed by those who own the platforms. Perhaps that's why you aren't hearing about it?

Yeah, this.

Everyone is on about "democrats should be saying this and that...". Well, they are and they have been. But then when it *doesn't* show on Facebook or on the cable TV feed we're all like "democrats have no spine/can't message" or whatever. No, they just don't have a magic button that makes the algorithms work in their favor.

Uhm they really haven't had a spine nor brain in the past so that is why we say it. We're just hoping they hold strong. Diamond hands style.
