My point is their goal isn't PR. Activists have to be centered on building a strong and persistent movement. BLM was like this too. Why do they need to change so Democrats get better PR?

So they can actually enact the change they're fighting for? You do realize how important it was for MLK to sway the court of public opinion, right? Yes, I am aware he was still not popular while alive, but his marches were orchestrated in a manner specifically to sway public opinion and empathy and they did that just enough to succeed in the long run. The court of public opinion is arguably the most important thing for any mass movement to succeed. Just think about slavery, women's voting rights, and on and on.

I could not agree more with red13n having caught up on the discussion. Both things are true here: the Dems are garbage at fighting back at their opposition's messaging and activists can pick better slogans which ultimately help manifest the actual outcomes they want.
