How Democrats can get their act together

On the legislative front, few would have predicted that Biden, despite having only 50 Democratic votes in the Senate, would have passed in his first year a $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan (including a major increase in the child tax credit that reduced child poverty in half). Even more impressive, he is poised to pass both a $1.2 trillion infrastructure plan and a $1.75 trillion package including investments in green energy, universal prekindergarten, a generous child-care subsidy, improved senior care, expansion of Affordable Care Act subsidies, an extension of refundable child tax credits, a significant housing investment, hearing benefits for Medicare and possibly even a prescription drug cost reduction for patients on Medicare.

To review, the economy on Biden’s watch has created nearly 5 million new jobs, reducing unemployment to 4.8 percent. Despite the right wing’s effort to spread deadly disinformation about vaccinations, 80 percent of American adults — including 98 percent of those older than 65 — have had a least one coronavirus vaccination. Among those age 12 and older, 78 percent have had at least one shot.
 
When it comes to political combat, Democrats’ tactics have been wholly insufficient. Although the media deserve ample criticism for treating politics like a spectator sport and the parties as morally equivalent, Biden’s benighted effort to curry favor with congressional Republicans and deny the ex-president attention allows the GOP’s malicious rhetoric to go unchecked. If the White House does not make the case against its opponents’ nihilism, lies and anti-democratic mindset, no one else will. Biden must get over the notion that he can “lower the temperature” by refusing to zero in on GOP leaders’ assault on democracy and truth.

You can start by getting a whole lot smarter than this,
 
Fourth, the media’s obsession with process and unwillingness to grapple with substance mean that “Democrats in disarray” dominates the headlines and the public remains largely ignorant of legislative proposals. "Takes” on whether Biden is up or down have replaced factual explanation (e.g., what is in the president’s plan, whom does it help, how does it affect the the economy), threatening a critical cornerstone of democracy: an informed public.

“To review”, how could president sleepy mcPudding pants “create” 5 million “new” jobs when 20-25 million jobs were lost to the pandemic? And it’s taken him a year to get those 5 million back! At that rate, he only needs 4 or 5 more years to get back to Trump level, but that’s only if NO ONE loses their jobs at all in that time period. As for this great vaccination rate, you’re running out of gas quickly, especially when you have to start playing whack-a-mole with all these new biden variants coming up in the illegal alien soup at the southern border. You guys are fucked.

I ignore baby talk.
 
Democrats got beat cause the the GOP focused on the cultural issues which are easier to demagogue, very reminiscent of 2010. The Democrats found themselves on the defensive, which isn’t good, and even worse when you have created yourself the image of being disorganized and ineffective

All the talk of progressive promises by themselves won’t do it, the Democrats have to address the cultural topics without getting moralistic, and get something done if they want to prevent another 2010
 
This election was swung by Manchin and Sinema who stopped Biden from getting his bills through. It was also hurt by terrible labeling. Defunding the police is not what the Dems are after. They want policing to include qualified people who are better qualified to handle some situations than cops. The inflation caused by extreme demand across the globe has also hurt. The supply chain is a private enterprise, yet Dems are being blamed for it. This was a bad time for an election.

Agree with the idea Democrats need to talk more about values.

They are just too far gone corporate owned. They cant bring themselves to actually deliver what the people need and want and what they were promised. If they did, they would never lose another election but I guess all that corporate money and insider trading is addictive.

And yet you are the fool that believes one who has been proven to be a liars over 30,000 times, and others who change their stories more then they change their underwear. And then you are arrogant enough to call others "gullible". :good4u: (upyourass fool)

Democrats are losing and will get shellacked in 2022 and 2024 because they are being exposed as the dishonest, lying, race hustling, anti-American Marxists we know them to be.

It's in parallel to the low opinion Americans now have of the PHONY media which no longer pretends to be unbiased and today looks more like a propaganda lie machine for the Democratic Party of Lying Jackasses.
