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.

What accomplishments? All I see is one big screw-up after another.

Yeah. A lot of the 'sell' process consists of hiding the screw-ups and distracting people with bigger screw-ups in the hope that the voters' memories will fail them by election day. Or election season, I guess we should say now.

Wait for it… “We stopped Covid in its tracks!” “More jobs created than any other administration in history! “ Went toe to toe with Putin to keep NATO and America safe!”

You know the drill, just lie faster than the truth can catch up. With the degenerate media helping out, it will be a piece of cake.

Yes, the present POS in the WH is a white version of 0bama. The leftist have long been indoctrinated in selling the world on what the ‘Masters’ want. They just can’t help themselves. They believe their own lies.

Your heating bill and gasoline cost went up in November, December and January because Putin invaded Ukraine in February.

Accomplishments:

A fiasco in Afghanistan!

Tripling gas prices in just over one year, as well as across the board inflation!

A border wide open to every criminal and terroist with a mind to cross it!

And a real-live shooting war in Europe!

And a bonus soon to come - a deal enabling the Iranians to complete their nuclear program!!!!

That's going to be a tough sell!

FR does not represent the target audience for the MSM and the DEMs. You would be (sadly) surprised just how effective they are at either hoodwinking a sizable number of Americans or generating political fatigue that yields a public that by and large doesn’t give a damn.

This was reported on last month. Lots of dissatisfied Democrat voters, but with rampant cheating the midterms are anything but a lock plus we know the GOP is more than capable of screwing things up on their own.

Keep flogging that dead horse Lydia. It will work with the 20% hard-core Dem constituency and your urban voters but that's it.

Thank goodness I had a good economics teacher in H.S. and he said that Government produces inflation by spending and printing $$$$ it does not have.

The U.S. Budget has grown to over $6 Trillion dollars and and this is every single year.

The liberals are using the U.S. Budget for their policies which do not even work in solving the problems.

“we have to sell it with confidence, clarity, conviction and repetition” - that everything you see happening, is someone else’s fault.

Putin, Trump, Climate Change, Racism and Capitalism come to mind.

Man, he really is demented!

He's accomplished a lot, alright. Probably the most massive disasters in such a short period of time of any President in history.

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.

exactly, it was the covid relief checked that caused this. Checks they only felt compelled to send out... BECAUSE THEY FORCED EVERYONE TO CLOSE !!

liberals created the problem, then they made it worse by trying to make up for it. Basically the same as liberals ALWAYS do!

I reviewed a reddit liberal site and some others and the lying just never seems to stop. They dare each other to be more outlandish in their blame for Ukraine on Trump, the gas prices were Trump allowing Russia to pump more, the economy is because Trump broke it so much and Ukraine is because Trump would not give them any weapons.

I really do not see how to ever reach these morons. Maybe when inflation gets so bad they have to acknowledge that resident Biden can’t do anything about it.
