With Build Back Better, Dems aim to correct messaging missteps

House Democrats acknowledge they weren't very effective at selling their $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief plan to the general public. Now, they're hoping to improve on those mistakes with their mammoth climate and social spending package.

While President Biden's Build Back Better Act still has a tough road in the Senate, House Democrats have already begun holding a series of roundtable discussions, site visits, in-person and virtual town halls and news conferences across the country highlighting individual pieces of the roughly $2 trillion package.

The idea is to break it up into smaller bite-size chunks - things like child care, climate change, education, health care and help for seniors - that will make the 2,135-page bill easier for voters and constituents to digest and understand how it directly impacts their lives.

Those events would also feature everyday Americans who would benefit from the bill, whether they be families who could enroll their 3- or 4-year-old in free universal preschool or receive another year of the child tax credit; college students who could be eligible for expanded Pell Grants; or senior citizens who could see the cost of their prescription drugs go down.

"There are some challenges. I think we never messaged effectively the American Rescue Plan. I think we have to do it bit by bit,” said Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas), a senior member of the Ways and Means and Budget committees who is planning separate events focused specifically on child care and students.

"So given the size and scope of the bill, the messaging of it cannot be done in a day or a week,” he said. “It'll have to be spread out, and do it with people whose lives really will be affected by what we do."

The socialists finally got around to reading it. Just tell everyone that meat is about to disappear and clown cars will be mandatory. All that fits on a billboard.

I can’t wait for the ‘messaging’ to begin.

You can polish a turd and it is just a shiny piece of shit!

[Alas Babylon!]

The Hill... They should just change their name to The Shill.

Bidens poll no’s are dismal.... approval is now about 30%......and he’s standing in quicksand.

NOTE; Biden polls are taken in Fantasyland on Gay Day at Disney.

To be fair he’s also backed by The Cashing in Bigtime crowd:
<><> The Biden Crime Family,
<><>campaign aides,
<><>cronies,
<><>woke govt contractors,
<><>Democrats not standing for reelection,
<><>welfare drones and migrant swarms.

The problem is not the messaging.
No amount of lipstick can make this fat, sick pig look pretty.

[Liz]

Lol......good one.

[ComputerGuy]

They will have to massage the truth to turn it into a message.
Or something...

Karl Rove agrees Biden’s Build Back Better slogan was focus tested and found to be favorable with a majority of Americans. Where does he get this stuff?

[Liz]

THIS IS TRULY ASTOUNDING.......”Dems aim to correct messaging missteps”........

This is evidence of Dems complete, unmitigated contempt for we, the people.

They obviously believe taxpayers are suckers.....turnip truckers who need to be spoon-fed their BS.

As if we didn’t understand the trillion dollar garbage they’re pedaling.

Karl Rove says Biden’s BBB slogan was focus tested and found to be favorable with a majority. Where does he get this stuff?

Bidung focus groups in Fantasyland....on Gay Day at Disney.

If the BBB bill is so good, then break it up into a collection of 30-page bills, and vote on them separately. That way, some of the good stuff can get through the gauntlet of House/Senate/POTUS and the bad stuff can be relegated to the legislative cutting-room floor.

But I guess that's too much to ask.
