1. La Brecha Organizativa: La Necesidad de un "TPUSA de Izquierda".
Una queja recurrente es la ausencia de una organización de izquierda bien financiada y con un alcance similar al de Turning Point USA (TPUSA). Los comentaristas señalan que la derecha ha construido un ecosistema de medios y grupos de activismo que la izquierda no ha logrado replicar, lo que los deja en una batalla de comunicación en desventaja.
- Why do democrats not have a left-wing tpusa? as part of the new branding of democratic messaging, conventions podcasts helped rapeublicans spread messages like wildfire, even if they were lies. . Needs to be at the forefront of this movement.
- We need our own daily wire, tpusa, prager u, equivalents, etc. Until that happens, we will be fighting a losing battle. Politics is a messaging war; we will only win if our message is stronger and hits more people than theirs.
- The democrats don't need a liberal joe rogan. They need a liberal tpusa, a well-funded media apparatus that launches the careers of a whole spectrum of writers, commentators, activists etc.
- I can't even figure out what the lib equivalent of this would be because there isn't a well funded hard left stand in for tpusa.
2. La Batalla por los Jóvenes y la Presencia Universitaria.
Se destaca con insistencia la exitosa estrategia de TPUSA para establecer una presencia masiva en los campus universitarios, citando repetidamente la cifra de "800 capítulos". Esto contrasta fuertemente con la percepción de que el Partido Demócrata no solo no logra conectar con los jóvenes, sino que a veces los aliena, cediendo un terreno crucial a sus oponentes.
- Tpusa has 800 chapters on college campuses across the country. The status quo whore dems must go! they have killed us!
- The tpusa crowd is young, impressionable kids who shifted right because of a massive online presence and that speaks to young people.
- Dems lose because they love their words & their damn kumbaya. Knowing we are better is enough? they don't meet the people where they live. Tpusa has over 800 chapters on college campuses. Where are we?
- Meanwhile dems just assume young people are on their side & do no significant outreach of any effect. And say crap like what pete's bloviating.
3. Críticas a la Estrategia y Mensajería del Partido Demócrata.
Existe una fuerte crítica hacia la estrategia general del Partido Demócrata, calificada de desconectada, complaciente y carente de efectividad. Se lamenta la falta de eventos masivos y conferencias al estilo de CPAC o los eventos de TPUSA, que sirven para energizar a la base y dominar el ciclo de noticias, mientras que los demócratas son percibidos como pasivos.
- Shit dem messaging is an issue! they have no idea where the people are & how to connect. Cringe. Example: the dnc shit all over 25 yr old david hogg. Took away his dnc position.
- I’ve been wondering why democrats don’t hold more big events like the republicans do with cpac and tpusa. Guess this is the answer.
- The contrast with democrats could not be starker. The party doesn’t have anything similar to tpusa in either function or scale." .probably because dems generally fight with each other. There is no unifying message.
- Democrats need a tpusa type organization. Have a convention every week. Invite younger firebrand dems to college campuses, have televised town halls speaking to issues on economy, social, foreign policy, etc. I feel that republicans run for office all the time and dems only during election season.
4. El Factor del Financiamiento: La Ventaja de los Multimillonarios.
Se reconoce que una barrera fundamental para crear una contraparte de izquierda a TPUSA es la financiación. Varios comentarios apuntan a que las organizaciones de derecha prosperan gracias al respaldo de multimillonarios conservadores, un tipo de apoyo financiero a gran escala que, según argumentan, no está disponible para las causas de izquierda.
- These complaints never really deal with the fact that tpusa is funded in a way that is inaccessible to the left (by conservative billionaires). There can not be a left's equivalent of charlie kirk, because moneyed interests don't want that.
- There can be no tpusa of the left because there is no billionaire who will give tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars to a leftist cause. Charlie kirk existed because billionaires wanted him to.
- Maga youth groups like tpusa outspent left-leaning youth groups by over a billion dollars last year. We’re investing big to make sure that doesn’t happen again, but we need your help.
- The fearsome right-wing machine includes media outlets, a bill mill (alec), leonard leo’s legal network & the federalist society, think tanks (heritage foundation), campus groups like tpusa & mfl, activist training orgs, and megachurches. It’s fueled by koch / uhlein / devos . Dems don’t have this.
