How Democrats can get their act together

[Sailor]

True, but the president's party almost always loses seats in mid-term elections. In 2018 Republicans lost control of the House by losing 40 seats (the average loss is 27).

It can seldom be predicted based on the president's performance but more by who votes.

Democrats have a record of losing it all Flash. Like clockwork.

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.

What is 'child poverty'? Children are dependent on parents.
The 'infrastructure plan' is not about infrastructure.
Energy has no color. Fascism.
'Universal' prekindergarten??
Child care subsidy? Communism.
Canceling medicare over vaccination and mask mandates is not helping seniors.
Affordable Care Act? Communism.

Fascism and communism are unconstitutional.

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.

Biden has created no job in the private sector.
Quoting fake numbers for unemployment isn't going to cut it.
Paradox V.

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.

There is no democracy. The United States was never a democracy. You don't get to declare 'The Truth'.

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.

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.

I am a Democrat all the way- BUT THAT GIVES ME SOME HEADWAY TO TALK ABOUT MY OWN FRUSTRATIONS WITH THE DEMOCRAT PARTY!

The Democrats are too nice! They don't stand up and call their Republican Opposition what they truly are RIGHT BACK IN THEIR FACE- RACISTS AND WHITE SUPREMACISTS- LIARS AND THIEVES- RECKLESS AND CARELESS- FACISTS AND PLUTOCRATS- ANTI-DEMOCRACY TRUMPTARDS!

2ndly, they didn't spend enough time trying to even reveal to the public what is in their bills- that it was a 10 year plan- and not fixing the tax code first- WHICH WOULD PAY FOR WHAT THEY WANT.

Nothing is for free- NO CHRISTMAS IN JULY- AND A CARE PACKAGE UNDER EVERY TREE FOR EVERYONE!

DO we want to help bring down the costs of Prescription drugs and Healthcare costs for everyone- including healthcare insurance? Yes, well then how? EXPLAIN THIS TO THE SOCCER MOMS ACROSS AMERICA!

Do we want to bring down the cost of childcare- YES- But do it in tax deductions not money gift-wrapped in the mail!

Do we want to extend public education to include an associates degree for those who want one and willing to work for it? Yes, but you do this through Federal Grant initiatives to convert Community Colleges into Public Schools paid for through local taxes & Federal Grants to help local governments with their conversions!

What you don't do is keep everything GIFT WRAPPED WHERE NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THE FUCK THE DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO DO WITH EVERYONE'S MONEY!

Forget a 10 year plan- WE HAVE THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH FOR ONLY 3 MORE YEARS that we can count on for sure- LET'S HEAR ABOUT A PLAN FOR JUST THE NEXT 3 YEARS!

I could talk for a day and a half on ideas to help the Democrats send the proper message and get them back on track!

BUT NOW HEAR THIS- YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT- BUT IF YOU TRY SOMETIME- YOU GET WHAT YOU NEED!

Even the Drugged up Rolling Stones were smart enough to know this! AND YES, I AM TALKING TO MY PROGRESSIVE FAR LEFTIES WHO ARE A LITTLE BIT DRUNK ON FREEBIES RIGHT NOW ALREADY!

1 apologize. We lied about Russian collussion. We underminded the election before Trump ever did

2 apologize. we lied abut CRT - it is a real thing, and we have a huge teachers association trying to implement it

3 apologize. We used big tech and the media to hide real news about Biden. We know he is limited in capacity - but we needed to win, and we hid news about his scandals and his drooling because we feel like winning is the most iportant thing. We will now acknowledge the biggest lie of all is our actions over the last 4 years

It is what the Democrats are after. Democrats fund and support BLM and Antifa.

They want policing to include qualified people who are better qualified to handle some situations than cops.

That is not policing. Redefinition fallacy.

The inflation caused by extreme demand across the globe has also hurt.

Inflation is caused by printing wads of money with no corresponding increase in wealth, such as the latest trillions the Democrats had printed.

The supply chain is a private enterprise, yet Dems are being blamed for it.

Because Democrats shut down private enterprise.

This was a bad time for an election.

Whiner.

Second, many Americans continue to experience anxiety and uncertainty. Concern about inflation (transitory or not), coupled with job churn, ongoing worry about covid-19, stress from managing their children’s disrupted lives and an epidemic of mental illness, makes for disagreeable voters.

In a nation that increasingly associates the president with “the government” and the “government” with American life, it is hardly surprising that he [Biden] bears the brunt of that angst.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/11/04/bidens-doing-better-than-you-think/

Inflation: Democrats
Job churn: Democrats
Covid19 shutdowns and mandates: Democrats
School closures: Democrats
Mental 'illness': Democrats

And you're surprised voters find you disagreeable??
