I think we are screwed for 2022

And unfortunately, the Democratic Party cannot message to save its life. I think the Biden Administration may as well grab power as nakedly as the Republican Party. What about what about what about.... who cares? It obviously doesn't matter who is right it is how many people can you convince to say you are right. Just keep repeating it and make it so.

1. It is not the Dems

This country from the hysteria of Covid hoarding, to anti-masking-vaxxers we are falling apart and it is a question of what can change this course.

10. TM could have capitalized on life before Covid

and getting back to it by emphasizing how things were when he was governor and his accomplishments during that time. I mean, he was governor, a successful one and if anything the regressive reddish voters love is nostalgia and they have very poor memories so needed help in that area.

2. It's not just bad messaging that's costing the Democratic Party

In fact, I place the blame squarely on the shoulders of our criminally dishonest corporate media. They sure do love to stir the shit pot and turning Americans against one another, whether it's by facilitating reThug lies or deliberately taking the words of Democrats out of context to make us all appear to be batshit crazy and irrational.

8. The Democratic Party should be better at shaping the media message

I don't know why they are not more aggressive. The Republican Party accomplishes ZERO but yet they are virtuosos at putting their message out. Democrats need to get their act together. Carville makes a lot of sense. We shoot ourselves in the foot in both the Progressive and Moderate areas. I cringe every time I hear the woke section... and then also that last press conference/speech from Manchin and the antics of Sinema (For god-sakes Sinema, try and be an adult professional and not some attention-seeking decades-aged riotgrrl-- no one is fooled we all know she is a money-seeking senatorial lobby-missile).

3. Yup

The Dems did it to themselves again.

6. There's a lot of time between now and then

but we need to get our act together in several areas

7. There is not a lot of time... there is

9. buck up camper, was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

11. I'll reserve judgment until the SCOTUS rules on Roe v Wade via the Mississippi case.

12. To early to tell

13. A big thing we have going for us is that the average Rethug pol's far more Empty G than Younkinesque

14. 2 years is very long in political time

[Captain Zero]

16. And we are now down to ONE year until the 2022 mid-terms.

17. Still a very long time. I seem to recall Clinton was written off ca. 1994-5

Before he destroyed Dole.

[shrike3]

19. Yes, I remember that.

The press portrayed Clinton as trying to assert he still mattered, and Gingrich talked about governing from the Hill. You never know what's going to happen.
