Can someone please explain why the #Democrats have decided not to invest any money in regular, coordinated #messaging campaigns as we approach the 2024 #election season? What, exactly, are they doing with all the money we donate? The #Republicans engage relentless, coordinated messaging where their #politicians and various #media organizations are all pushing the same messages. And they do it every day.
