I'm talking about messaging because I think that is the party's biggest flaw. Briefing Room | The White House Looking over what messages the White House is sending, there are very few on the first few pages I think the average person actually gives a shit about. I think if Biden focused messaging on policies and how it helps the average person, instead of placating niche demographics, I think his polling would improve. Just my view on it. I can't measure opinions. If I could, I would. Inflation, sure, it is a sticking point.. but he is losing quite badly to a convicted felon who tried to take over the government.... that speaks volumes about how well Biden is connecting with the average person. CLEARLY he isn't. |
Just to clear things up, you agree that Democrats are the party that supports the middle class, they just are bad at telling people about it? So you do believe the list I provided is in fact very pro-middle class?
I looked through the first two pages in your link and see:
Remarks by Jill Biden at summer nutrition event
Biden names new round of judicial nominees
Bill signed: National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act
Fact Sheet: Administration announces investment in 12 regional tech hubs, creating good paying jobs and driving economic opportunity and innovation
Remarks by Biden on extreme weather
Fact Sheet: Biden announces new actions to protect workers and communities from extreme weather
Building a thriving clean energy economy
Statements on extending overtime to millions of workers
Remarks by Jill Biden at Congressional Hispanic Caucus event-the entire speech is talking about investments in things like education, child care & creating jobs.
Statement from NSC director welcoming the Agreement with Panama to address irregular migration
A Proclamation on the 60th Anniversary of the Civil Rights Act
And then on page 3, it’s mostly speeches at campaign events where he says things like:
And here’s how we’re going to do it. We’re going to stand up for the women of America. (Applause.) We’re going to restore Roe v. Wade as the law of the land. (Applause.) We’re going to stand up for the right to vote. (Applause.) And we’re going to stand up for Medicare and Social Security. (Applause.) And we’re going to fight for childcare, paid leave, and eldercare. (Applause.)
And we’re going to keep lowering the cost of prescription drugs, not just for seniors but for every single American. (Applause.) We’re going to keep protecting the Affordable Care Act — (applause) — which is why more than 40 million Americans have health insurance today that didn’t before. (Applause)
We’re going to protect our children and get the weapons of war off our streets. (Applause.) We’re going to provide clean drinking water, affordable high-speed Internet, quality education for every child in America. (Applause.)
We’re going to secure our border and protect legal immigration. (Applause.)
And unlike the other guy, we’re going to stand up to dictators like Putin, because — (applause) — America bows to no one — no one — no one ever. (Applause.)
Folks — and we’re going to keep dealing with the climate crisis.
What world are we living in where this stuff doesn’t count as focusing on the middle class?
You keep saying they focus on niche demographics but what are your examples of niche demographics? Is it black people? Hispanics? Asians? Muslims? Jews? Immigrants? Refugees? Women? LGBT people? Poor people? The elderly? Young people? College educated people? Veterans? Disabled people? People with mental health issues? Families?
I think the issue isn’t that Democrats focus on niche demographics but that they are a big tent party that focuses on everyone regardless of age, race, religion, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, income status, education level, etc. while Republicans just use basic scare tactics about dangerous “others” that are hurting “American values” and “stealing your hard earned tax dollars”.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
