Sick of this Show: A Blue Amplifier with Cliff Schecter

Show Notes


On today’s Sick of this Show, Nick Paro (https://substack.com/profile/18967504...) is joined by special guest, Cliff Schecter (https://substack.com/profile/31941177...) of Blue Amp Media (https://substack.com/profile/50954540...) (Blue Amp (https://substack.com/profile/31233091...) ), for incredible discussions into:


Amplifying blue voices through collaboration and community over competition — we talk about our good friends and colleagues Melissa Corrigan, she/her (https://substack.com/profile/13839118...) and Lawrence Winnerman (https://substack.com/profile/31403487...) and the incredible work they have been doing to help drive the development and growth of the new media sphere.


The latest on Pete “kill them all” Hegseth, the criminality of the DoD indiscriminately killing civilians in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific, and how all of this revolves around a made-up armed conflict which has not received any lawful congressional approvals.


My favorite, wordsmithing and narrative building — discussing different slogans, how to grab people’s attention with what you are for (not just against), and how we plan to spend the next 11-months in order to win.


Wordsmithing


Nick Paro (https://substack.com/profile/18967504...) and Cliff Schecter (https://substack.com/profile/31941177...) spent some time workshopping and getting feedback from the audience — we’re collaborating, in realtime, to get creative ideas out the so people know what we stand for and how to describe the regime. Here’s a few we discussed


What we are for


AA - Accountability & Authenticity


AAA - Accountability, Authenticity, & Affordability


Who we are against


C4 - Cruelty, Corruption, Criminality, & Incompetence


How we frame it


Progressive vs Regressive — do we progress towards a more perfect union, or do we regress into hatred’s of the past?


Updating the RISE slogan


From: RISE — restore integrity, service, & ethics


To: RISE — reclaiming integrity, service, & ethics


What are your thoughts?
