Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
  7. This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
  8. All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

So, when the dude in this video is seeing ads on TV/online/etc in his native language promising him that Trump will keep him safe, convincing him he's in danger otherwise, and nobody on the left takes the time to really counter that message in a way that will actually reach him, then it's really just a numbers game at that point, where he's more likely just to believe the convenient lies he's seeing/hearing -- whether or not he's stupid.

the DNC still lives in TV and radio - two dead mediums. It's been over a decade now and they still can't get their communication shit together. It's really fucking simple. Any one of us here could run that org and deliver results better than they are.

Remember when Kamala was first out of the gate and her team was killing it on social media? It lasted about two weeks? Then the old Bidens got there and started huffing about how it wasn't presidential or some shit. I dunno.
