Why can’t the left do better propaganda? (hexbear.net)

Besides 💰and 👁️ *

Why doesn’t the left do a propaganda like the Barbie movie or those two White-Supremist country songs?

Imagine Barbie but with class-consciousness. With all the basically free high-production tools and talent on the left, is it not possible?

*Or is it that simple?

Besides being adequately well-made, Barbie had an enormous marketing budget. Low-budget indie films can be well-made, but you can't get them into theaters, unless you manage to first get them into the right film festivals and glowingly reviewed by the right people and so on, and it's all swimming upstream.
