Democrats blame messaging for their political problems
The Hill via Yahoo ^ | April 13, 2022 | By Amie Parnes

Democrats say they’ve done a lousy job at highlighting their accomplishments in a year plus of unified power in Washington, and are blaming this on the possibility they will suffer major losses in November’s midterm elections.

“Look, I’m not going to BS. We’ve done a f—ing horrible job and sometimes I think we deserve to lose big in November,” said one Democratic strategist. “Democrats can say whatever they want but it’s not honest.

“The narrative here doesn’t exist,” the strategist added. “We need to wake up fast.”

Some Democrats are baffled at Biden’s low numbers given what they think is a list of robust accomplishments. They list the coronavirus relief bill passed in March, a bipartisan infrastructure bill and the recent confirmation of Ketanji Brown Jackson, who will be the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court.

Biden’s ability to tout a domestic agenda is now challenged by his administration being consumed by Russia’s war on Ukraine.

Since the start of the year, he’s only done one sit-down interview, a stunning fact for some White House observers.

Biden and other Democrats have tried to drive home the number of jobs being added to the economy, with another 431,000 added in March and unemployment at 3.6 percent.

But inflation concerns have won the headlines.

They are such absolute clowns. All they do is narrative and bullshit. Even saying they just didn’t do enough narrative is in itself a narrative that tries to defend the stupidity of their asinine policies.

Let’s review that policy: Defund the cops, open the borders, shut down drilling and pipelines, print and splurge lots of cash, defend race riots and anarchists, get entangled in a proxy war in Eastern Europe, turn schools into transvestite mental illness propaganda and shut down businesses for a virus.

Their problem is the policies because reasonable people do not support that menu when it’s laid out in stark clarity.

Oh, we understand the Dem “accomplishments” all right.

That’s the problem.

What people see with their own eyes refutes the message.

Yet they own 100% of the corporate media.

The media can’t cover the lies any longer. Not when people have to buy gas or groceries or see the gross incompetence on display. (Afghanistan).

Their problem is that too many are getting their message.

Joe Biden can be compared to a fictional character from the musical from the early 1930’s, “Of Thee I Sing”.

Alexander Throttlebottom was the vice-president to John P. Wintergreen, the candidate on the “Love” ticket, but he is of such little importance no one can remember his face or a single fact about him. A purposeless incompetent in public office, he is overjoyed to learn that he has the duty of presiding over the Senate.

Joe Biden has, consciously or otherwise, patterned his life after Alexander Throttlebottom. Considering how much Joe has plagiarized from others, this is entirely plausible.

If it makes them feel better, the Republicans messaging hasn’t been worth a damn either. Half of what does get coverage in the media is infighting, backstabbing, and distancing from Trump. Hell that’s true of FR as well; the logo for republican PR should feature a circular firing squad.

clearly it’s a simple messaging problem:

Democrat Obiwan waves arm in mystical motion and murmurs to the peasant hordes: “You’re not REALLY paying more for groceries, gasoline, electricity,rent and heat, and there are no shortages”

Peasants: “When I go to the store, I can see with my own eyes that none of that is true”

Democrat Obiwan: “Crap! They’re not buying it. We need better messaging.”

These fools always do this. Somehow they believe that they aren’t communicating their intentions well enough.

Au contraire. They are showing the world their intentions very well indeed.

Pretty good comparison except that Biden is an ruthless punk who loves to use all the power of the Government to destroy anyone he disagrees with.

So, if only Joe wasn’t so busy causing proxy wars he’d have time to address the People. Then we’d hear his important opinions like “prostitute crink dog-faced hopsnort”.

Notice that “blaming messaging for their political problems” IS the Democrats’ message. I’ve heard or read this spiel in over 10 places over the last few months. Unfortunately for them, the public knows far too much about Democrat “accomplishments”, not too little.

Does anyone like Biden and Dems:
...causing hyper-inflation through mega-pork and wasting borrowed money?

...putting someone on the Supreme Court who does not “believe in” natural rights (i.e., the basis for individual liberty, civil rights, and the US Constitution)?

...stopping domestic energy production while trying to ramp it up in Venezuela and elsewhere to make up for the global shortages their own policies have caused, while pretending they are doing it to reduce fossil fuel use?

...sexualizing young children to promote transexualism and probably to groom them for exploitation?

Democrats are now dangerous threats to the US and the world. Message that ye bastids and reap the whirlwind. Unfortunately the Republican message is “Me Too”.

Replaces earlier version:

They’ve got the federal government in their pocket.

President

US Senate
US House of Representatives

These two branches bribe the public with incredible amounts
of monthly, yearly, and other special cash benefits, getting
their message out.

They have enough unqualified SCOTUS Justices to make the
court a joke. They offer up reasoning an 11 year old child
could destroy logically.

The Justice Department is corrupt. It now looks more like
a political arm of the Communist party, than a law and
order justice system. We have terrorists on the streets
of this nation, and they skip them to go after the working
class.

The FBI, CIA, and NSA are looking like their agents all
received degrees from the Wokeland Pre-Kindergarten
satellite school of Fascism, and they think they’re
getting away with it and no one has noticed.

They have governors, mayors, city and county councels,
school boards, and enough Leftist appointed judges to be
able to hold off the implementation of any reasoned
legislation for months if not years. Corrupt DAs have
essentially tossed out the rule book to do whatever they please.

The K through High school, community colleges and
universities are completely overrun by some of the most
corrupted and wicked political minds on the planet. Now
they have moved into propagandizing children into all
manner of twisted sexual materials from k on...

The print and television media is completely in their
pocket. Even formerly reasoned networks have now joined
the Left using their jargon and talking points at least
part time.a

They have corporate entities silencing the public, unless
they will buy into their preferred lies.

They have labor unions out there selling out their own
members and the nation. They have a lock on their union
members, pumping out bilge by the boatload to them, with
“the (leftist) message” they want them to hear.

Then they have the ANTIFA brown shirts and their fellow
anarchist terrorists the BLM group speading their treachery
and thoughts across the nation.

And yet the Democrats are certain their message is just not
quite getting out there.

You know folks, if that doesn’t tell you where their head
is at, you aren’t qualified to read and understand this post.
