Democrats seek to 'sell' accomplishments ahead of tough midterms
FOX News ^ | March 12, 2022 | By Marisa Schultz

Faced with tough upcoming midterm elections, inflation and high gas prices, Democrats say they need to do a better job selling the American people on President Biden's accomplishments.

While key priorities of Biden's domestic agenda have died in Congress – namely the Build Back Better social spending plan and voting rights reforms – members of the DNC are taking stock of what Biden has gotten done and pushing a message of monumental accomplishment.

"We have a record — a record to be proud of, an agenda that addresses the biggest concerns here in America, in people’s lives, the message that resonates," President Biden told the DNC faithful Thursday. "And now — now what we have to do is we have to sell it with confidence, clarity, conviction and repetition."

Democrats acknowledged voters back home are grappling with price spikes on everything from gas to groceries but sought to distance Biden from causing inflation. Party faithful echoed the White House message that the pain at the pump is the result of Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, and the higher prices are a necessary sacrifice to stand with the people of Ukraine.

"I do think that from the Republican side there is going to be blame," Georgia Democrat Lydia Glaize, a candidate for the state House of Representatives, said of the GOP blaming Biden for high gas prices. "But I can tell you from an American point of view that it's not our fault. We know for sure that this lies in the hands of Russia."

Floyd McKissick, Jr., a former state senator who is active in the North Carolina Democratic Party, said it's "imperative" that Democrats tie the origin of inflation to the start of the pandemic and global supply chain issues that happened on former President Trump's watch.

“Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage,” Jonathan Gruber said. "And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass."

That means the DNC propaganda machine will be spinning like a jet turbine. Fortunately, no lie is too big or too preposterous.

Don’t worry, the enemedia will come up with a ton of “accomplishments” as they did for Otoken in 2012; they just won’t be anything that can be verified/measured: “Jobs saved”, “carbon emissions reduced”, “COVID beaten” (they’d just stop reporting any cases, even if people were dropping dead in the street)...

He accomplished the destruction of our economy, further divided us, drove up our national debt beyond fixing, made us dependent on foreign oil and Chinese goods & medicine. Pretty good record for a communist enemy. Unfortunately, he's a resident of our White House.

If you had a record to be proud of, you wouldn’t need to “sell it”.

It would sell itself without the propaganda machine gaslighting us and cramming it down our throats non-stop.

okay, here we go, this old talking point.

This is nothing new. I recall Obama had said, his biggest shortcoming as president, was that he just wasn’t able to explain things to the American people well enough. He perceived his failures as his inability to sell the American people on the joys of Obamacare, rather than admitting to any problems with the policies.

The look on Biden’s face when he sees the official list of Democrat accomplishments... a blank piece of paper.

This guy Biden reminds us of Barack Obama and Barack Obama was not even qualified to be POTUS and Barack Obama hated the U.S.A.

This guy Biden is one big "Giant Sixth Grade Brain" and Biden is one big cheater who did not win the presidential election of 2020.

Actually, Biden has had way too many aneurysms that he can not even know how many he has had plus he can not remember a thing.

They’re claiming inflation started with Trump and got worse because of Putin. What does that say about their ability to solve it? Do they want to run things, or observe and place blame?
