The only change the Goldman Sachs-sponsored boss of a public affairs company brings will come out of your pockets

High-level communications strategy and crisis management
Omni-partisan coalition-building and third-party stakeholder management
Grassroots, community and faith-based engagement
Campaign strategy, including but not limited to political, corporate and non-profit
Specialty in socially conscious diversity and inclusion initiatives
Influencer strategy and engagement on their social justice priorities
Paid communication services (direct mail, digital services and media services)

Launched with "partners from Mercury," a PR firm owned by the advertising conglomerate Omnicom Group. Why does anyone give her the time of day?

p sure OMB director would've been a significant paycut too

She's also still going to grt whatever happens to be the most prestigious job available with Biden that doesn't require a Senate confirmation.

Pretty sure the Biden people think that if they vaccinate everyone by May and COVID is pretty much gone by the end of the year no one will remember the fuckery with the 2k checks or the minimum wage.

Residual shine from being Bernie's campaign chair, mainly. The way she speaks really makes you believe, she fuckin takes you to church

But yeah I'm skeptical. She'll probably be better than the others but we've already gone down that road with AOC and we've seen where it leads. Fingers crossed she'll surprise us all but I'm not counting on it

the VP can't entice or force 2 members of her party who are preventing her from achieving a key policy goal.

oh well it can't be helped I guess

like why does KHive think this makes Kamala look good and not incredibly weak.

Manchin only won by 3% last time and raising the minimum wage is more popular than he is.

It's very important to keep making the woman who got no delegates, and wasn't even the third polling choice in her own state, aware that she's actually legit popular and any mistake ever made isn't her fault

Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the leaders are at the same time heroically strong and pitifully weak. Liberal governments are condemned to sputter because they are constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the leaders.

Also the midterm election day is 87 weeks, 5 days from today. Campaign season will start in a year. Even if COVID is fully under control in a year, it's going to be something that just loving happened not like a distant memory people will shrug off. The Republicans are probably going to make every single campaign ad about how Joe Biden hosed up COVID and crashed the economy, Joe Biden and the Dems stole money that they promised from hardworking Americans because they hate freedom, etc. when they're not busy trying to goose up some culture war.

Trump could literally make a campaign speech for Republican senate and house candidates that you should vote for them because at least they didn't lie about the checks like Joe Biden did and it would be true.

I mean until the Snopes fact check

Ok so let's go to the dem's plan to avoid getting horsewhipped in the midterms:

1. Avoid OFA model.
Summary: They have no ground game whatsoever remaining and no way to get the grassroots engaged in policymaking. Biden won't even be seen by a human being outside the Beltway for the next year.
Status: OFA model avoided.

2. Empower O'Malley Dillon.
Summary: We last heard from Jen O'Malley Dillon in late 2020 when she had the temerity to call Republican senators "a bunch of fuckers" and the dread gaze of Bidenpartisanship turned upon her.
Status: Buried in a Deputy Chief of Staff role and never heard from again.

3. Embed Ducklo or Bates.
Summary: Did someone say "Ducklo"
Status: Because I think I heard someone say "Ducklo."

4. Hope for a backlash against McConnell obstructionism
Summary: These loving idiots' plan was to do literally nothing and then blame the Republicans, but they accidentally won the Senate and now the obstructionism is coming from inside the house. Really sums it up that their total victory is the one scenario most destructive to their future electoral fortunes. I'd call them "victims of their own success" but actually they'll be just fine in their parachute consulting and lobbying gigs while the rest of the country loving implodes.
Status: Actually though their plan was always to lose, so 2022 is going to be a real good year for dems

If they don't at least pass the voting reform bill you have to think that they are actively trying to be a permanent minority party. DNC consultants don't care, that is for sure.
