Imagine reading that and thinking they are bad ideas.

[-] architect@thelemmy.club 6 points 4 hours ago

Looks like they know their base is so stupid they can make them hate good things just by saying it’s left. They used to hide it better.

Also there’s the possibility it’s a plant and this is reverse psychology. I dont know this person and i trust no one now. They’ve done that enough times i wouldn’t be surprised.

Good policies, but see how Fox adds "far-left", "democrat" and "socialist", just to make them look bad to their oil & gas party viewers.

[-] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Oh shit. I'm in Wisconsin and didn't know who was running to replace Evers. I knew he was retiring. Thanks for this, now I know I'm voting for her.

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 10 points 9 hours ago

Politician called "far-left".

Expectation: Installation of an egomaniac dictator, which will lead to cult of personality, crackdown on speech and expression based on said dictator's feelings, and installing loyalist to key positions.

Reality: Bare minimum policies.

I'd love it if she won. I can't think of a faster way to ensure that MAGA shitstain Tom Tiffany is the next governor of Wisconsin than for her to win the nomination, though. WI isn't California or New York, even if it is all bullshit there is just too much red meat for the MAGAt puppetmasters to seize upon to vilify her and whip the dullards up into a blood frenzy, even if it is in their own's heads.

They did this exact thing to AOC's Green New Deal when she introduced it, and I couldn't comprehend how people could read it as a bad thing (at least those who weren't top 1%ers wanting to evade taxes).

Lol she reposted it herself on socials with no changes

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmings.world 6 points 6 hours ago

"Endorsed by Fox News!"

[-] ShotDonkey@lemmy.world 13 points 20 hours ago

Thanks for the advertisment, FOX News!

[-] GoofSchmoofer@lemmy.world 13 points 20 hours ago

"BUT how would be pay for all of that ???" Which, not surprisingly, doesn't ever get asked when the DOD's budget gets increased annually.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmings.world 6 points 6 hours ago

Yeah, that used to work, until they learned to say "We'll just take it from the billionaires," and everyone said "Okay, that's perfectly acceptable."

Now all they can do is scream "SOCIALISM!" and people are starting to think THAT sounds pretty good, too.

They're losing their rhetorical weapons quickly, and that arsenal was pretty low to begin with.

[-] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

Or some dumb cage that gets built behind the white house, which itself is a mess

[-] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 33 points 1 day ago

I'm not sure it's even possible to frame this list in a bad light? those are all unambiguously excellent things

[-] scutiger@lemmy.world 10 points 23 hours ago

$20 an hour minimum wage is garbage, it should be much higher.

[-] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

In Wisconsin it isn't. Sure you're not going to buy a house in Madison with it, but you'll be fine in most of the state.

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

It still can be sold as a bad thing to those who think like iT's BetTEr tO hAvE a BaD jOB thAN NO jOb.

[-] orlyowl@piefed.ca 6 points 20 hours ago

It's an excellent step up from 7.50 though.

[-] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago

25 should be bare minimum these days. Most people should be making at least 30+.

[-] sturmblast@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago

Radical left now just means "anybody"

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 20 points 1 day ago

When you are so far right, everyone is far left.

[-] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That said, US politics is so bad that this platform is legitimately further left than like 95% of electeds. If this candidate is a Democrat it's likely that her own party will favor a candidate to her right in primary and if she beats them, possibly still not throw their weight behind her in the general.

Remember that the leader of the Democratic party is basically a domestic spokesperson for Israel and refuses to acknowledge support the most popular politician in his own party.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

Conservative voters have been trained to dislike things that are good for them. That's why many Republican controlled areas of this country are almost indistinguishable from 3rd world countries.

[-] VoodooMischief@lemmy.ca 5 points 21 hours ago

The really sinister part is seeing that even some “liberal” Americans have the seeds of conservatism planted in their viewpoints. These are the centrists that tend to say one thing but act out a different way. The brainwashing is deep.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmings.world 1 points 6 hours ago

The Conservative Propaganda Machine has been able to control the political messaging in this country for decades, and some of their messages have become standard belief, like the concept that everything the government does is ALWAYS incompetent and wasteful, and that simply isn't true. MOST of what the government does is very effective.

The government is an enormous bureaucracy, and if you root around enough, you'll find issues, but overall, it does a pretty amazing job, when responsible people are managing it.

We need to challenge these standard beliefs that have become dogma, like Dem are bad for the economy (when ALL studies prove that it's MAGA), Socialism is terrible (when many of the best things in America are Socialist, and it still offers better outcomes than whatever we are doing now), etc., and start moving in the direction that we have been so carefully directed away from.

[-] switcheroo@lemmy.world 9 points 22 hours ago

Fox tells them it's bad, they're brainwashed into thinking everything fox tells them is truth. A normal functioning brain would see how those policies would benefit society...

(Fox needs to have a disclaimer on all their bullshit that says they are legally required to say this is opinion and not news, as well as quoting their lawyer when he said something like "no one actually believes any of this")

[-] masterbaexunn@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago

Bold of you to assume they have brains

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago

She could not get better advertising.

[-] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago

And literally none of that is far-left, of course

Never heard of Fransesca Hong before. Not sure what office she's running for, but I hope she wins!

[-] thethunderwolf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 12 hours ago

it says there, wisconsin governor

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Welp. So it does.

Google: Can I have dimentia at age 42?

Totally missed that.

[-] Mesophar@pawb.social 1 points 5 hours ago

It's worse than we thought, they don't even remember their own user name...

[-] OpenPassageways@lemmy.zip 32 points 1 day ago

Stop describing it as a "tax hike"... we want to restore fair taxation after decades of irresponsible tax breaks.

[-] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

That's Fox, they're their hardest to make it sound bad.

Next they condemn public restrooms.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago

I condemn the people that use the public restroom before me.

I'd really like to know how there is a shit stain on the ceiling. It's as impressive as it is gross.

[-] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 170 points 1 day ago

This is just a list of reasons why you should vote for her

[-] notabot@piefed.social 54 points 1 day ago

I'm beginning to wonder if someone more left leaning has infiltrated fox. The boss say "put together a hit piece on the demonrat", "sure thing boss" says our mole, before turning over this graphic. To the boss it look great, surely no one could support this! To everyone less poisoned, it looks a lot more enticing.

[-] zurohki@aussie.zone 34 points 1 day ago

It's always funny when Fox puts up radical left wing policies like taxing billionaires and supporting families and then have to scramble to take them down because even Fox viewers read them and think they sound like a good idea.

It doesn't matter, The people who watch Focks Nooz wouldn't vote for a non-red candidate even if the red candidate said they will literally come and burn down your house if you vote for them.
