DCCC chairman: Democrats need to ‘communicate a clear off-ramp’ on the pandemic (The Great Pivot continues)
Washington Examiner ^ | February 8, 2022 | Kate Scanlon

Posted on 02/12/2022 5:05:55 AM PST by DoodleBob

Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said Tuesday Democrats need to “communicate a clear off-ramp” to people before November’s elections.

Several blue states with Democratic officials, including Delaware, Connecticut, and New Jersey, have recently announced plans to end universal school mask mandates and have eased some of the mitigation efforts adopted to reduce the spread of the virus as cases dipped after the surge of the omicron variant.

In response to a question about whether Democrats should embrace the idea that it’s time to move on from some of the public health measures adopted at the height of the COVID-19 outbreak, Maloney said, “People are sick to death of this pandemic.”

“I do believe because of the president's leadership and the Democratic plan to beat the virus, that we will be in a position to communicate a clear off-ramp and to make sure people understand that they will be in a position to care for themselves, for their families, that we trust parents to know best for their children and their schools,” he said.

Arguing that due to “the wide availability of vaccines, and better therapeutics, and with the right support for our front-line healthcare workers who have performed heroically” during the crisis, “we can all expect a definite plan for the resumption of our normal lives, and once and for all put the pandemic behind us.”

This is the dip who said Democrats’ plan to fight COVID is working – cases are down & vaccines are widely available. Now, it’s time to give people their lives back. With science as our guide, we’re ready to start getting back to normal

It won’t work but for a minority of people. Plus, Biden cannot deliver a coherent message. Keep pushing and work the streets. Especially at the local level. Take back you school boards etc. It’s working in our area.

This is equivalent to the wife beater who tearfully says he didn’t mean it and he’s sorry.

The Democrats screamed “Science!” till it now is a political liability. So now, they want to dump everything there “Science!” was about. I guess that is what you would call Political Science.

It must suck when only the fringe followers keep believing your BS. Don’t talk about ending the mandates, end them.

It’s like watching am addicted person try to break the habit. Sure, they know that drug is bad for them, but it just feels so good.

Covid mandates are bad for them, but the power is just such a high.

Their calculus involved choosing between using masks and covid to steal the election again through voting Freud or appearing as saviors to the masses by ending covid.

They basically waited to decide and left the covid protocol in place while trying to figure out the best political deception, THEY WAITED TO LONG.

Now they are realizing it is a much greater liability than if they would have ended it and pretended to be saviors.

We are effectively watching them hoist themselves on their own petard LMAO!

I sometimes don’t understand the Democrats

If they would have done this day one, ending the “pandemic” allowing people to resume a normal life, our economy would be in better shape

If they did not shut down the oil pipe line our economy would be in better shape

If they would not have put our nation into debt by an additional trillion dollars our economy would be in better shape.

As someone once remarked - “It’s the economy stupid”

Instead they did everything they could to destroy the economy (not just here but around the world) and now just months away from the mid-term election and Biden’s poll numbers have matched the percentage of hard core left in this country (in the 30s).

Political history indicates that Biden will not recover and his poor numbers will take a lot of Democrats down with him.

Replacing Biden will not change anything, the Democrat policies are like an out of control train going down a steep hill. Nothing can stop it until it crashes and burns.

“This future date promise feels like a con job.’


“We’ll lift them when the science is right’
Yes, I think they do this so that can block opposition and then declare unalloyed victory. “We jumped, we weren’t pushed.”

You don’t understand.

The existing capitalist economy must be destroyed so that the socialist nationalized economy can fill the vacuum. The creation of capitalist misery will result in the demand for socialism

The problem is that dead people can’t create socialism

The writing was on the wall last fall that many people were through with this. But the O variant came and they couldn’t back down until now. They’re late to the party. They also know, that once things settle down people will start asking questions. The ones they don’t want to answer - like, why did you promote this as a ‘vaccine; when Pfizer’s own documents do not claim that? Why did you promote this general use as safe when you knew thousands were dying?

I think I understand Democrats.

They were in bed with Muslim Terrorists when they thought that they could destroy America.

Now, they’re in bed with China.

They would rather rule in Hell, than serve in Heaven.

It’s that simple.

That may be their goal, and if it is, they are going about it all in the wrong way.

We will see after the mid-terms if the American people want to live in a socialist utopian world where the government owns everything including you and your children.

”People are sick to death of this pandemic.”

They’re not sick of this pandemic, you jackass. They’re sick of the clown show that you and your political comrades have made for them to live in.

Sadly, it worked when the DNC pivoted away from its history of racism & KKK and transferred to the GOP.
