LGBT rights? It's about liberty, for them to live their lives. Abortion? About liberty, and the right for women to decide. Migrants? It's also about liberty. Ukraine? That too is about liberty and letting them decide their future. On all of these issues, Rs are opposed to liberty. Frame it that way
Frame it that way BECAUSE IT'S TRUE and also, almost incidentally, because Dems might actually stand for something and stop snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
This is why I LOVE that the first ad is loudly about “freedom”. We have ceded “freedom” as an animating idea for far, far too long. What they want is not freedom, and we should say so.
Harris’s “freedom” themes and speeches are really perfect.
social welfare is also about liberty IMO. freedom from the cruelest edges of economic domination.
book bans, drag bans: freedom of speech
which is not merely rhetorically smart but also simply accurate and true
They said out loud at CPAC that they're going to dismantle Democracy and replace it with Theocracy -specifically Christianity
They’ll never do it because “liberty” sounds too much to them like “state power should be restricted” which not something they believe in except in certain very specific circumstances.
Yeah, and we can even talk about "get government out of our lives" etc. - that'll appeal to a lot of their voters on the libertarian end.
