I would not confuse quality with quantity,especially in this situation

The left don't want to talk. They want to chant and demand silence from the other side. They have nothing positive to add.

Because crazy sells like tickets to a WWE Smack Down. Nobody will tune in to somebody who speaks with clarity and intelligence. That's not entertainment.

I think a big part of it is that there's a really noisy section of the left wing who demands ideological purity, and thus nobody can gain enough traction to become a spokesperson.

On the Right, everything's 'black and white.' Reason, logic,common sense... they do not exist on the right. When you lack all those things, it's easier to pare everything down to a nice bumper sticker. But on the left, it's more complicated. As Rachel Maddow shows, issues, when truly considered, have many angles. With a group of people who reject science, disavow reality, call everything they hate "fake news," there's no need for that kind of thinking. You just need an angry MF who likes making little Conservatives piss in their diapers.

One thing about the "conservatives" is that they have a very well-oiled propaganda machine. They have been working on it for a long time, and it really hums! They also have their hot-button religious/social issues and capitalist ideology to rally around. They have been so successful at casting doubt on established science that liberals have been hesitant to bring up environmental issues. Global warming was barely mentioned in 2016, and in 2018 the Dems ran on healthcare (specifically, coverage for people with pre-existing conditions). You can wheel out all the mouthpieces in the world, but if they don't have a platform what are they going to say? The liberals have got to get better at framing the discussion. We need to seize the initiative, take the high ground, and establish the terms of the debate. For every catchy phrase the right comes up with the left has to have a better one to counter it. Above all the left has to be careful not to over-reach. We need to clearly repudiate wild, non-starter ideas like dissolving ICE. that kind of stuff is red meat for the "conservatives."

One place we could start is stop calling them conservatives. Their ideas about pure capitalism are actually radical. Even Adam Smith said that some regulation was needed or the system would collapse. And the idea that you can go on despoiling the Earth without consequences is anything but conservative. Just sayin'.

Conservatives are authoritarian and listen to and believe whatever their authority figures tell them (Trump, Limbaugh, faux news, Pat Robinson, etc). Liberals are more free thinkers and rely on their own abilities to decide on what is right or wrong. Your mileage will vary.

The left doesn't crave daddies. The right needs to be told what to be emotional about, and when to be triggered. It's their strength.

Stephanie ruhle, katie turr , joy reid and even conservative nicole Wallace has been stepping forward...

because we're not insane is one reason. another reason is we don't have mouthpieces. we have thoughtful commentators who actually understand history and put current events into perspective. oh and those fox news ladies... fox isn't news and those ladies aren't ladies; they're barely women.

but you're wrong about female stars. how about joy reid? and why do they have to be female? chris hayes and lawrence o'donnell are fantastic even with y chromosomes. the thing about stars is that you have not defined stars. if you mean noisy racist bitches (i refer to the men as well as the women using that word), then yeah, we lack those. fox has 'em.

Because the left doesn't stick to a story after it has shown to be false on such a reliable basis as the right. The right is fine being wrong and/or lying if it furthers their political agenda - they all fell in line after Trump.
