Manchin talk has now made me curious about an alternate history run where Sherrod Brown also runs in 2020 and he's picked as the centrist voltron. Think that means its time to go to bed.

Biden is mad at his staff for not not giving him good messaging and he is saying that he keeps getting unlucky over and over.

quote:

“He shares the view that we haven’t landed on a winning midterm message,” a third person close to the White House said of the president. “And he’s putting a lot of pressure on people to figure out what that is.”
...
“People confront him,” said a top Democratic donor who has witnessed such conversations at fundraisers. “All he’s hearing is ‘Why can’t you get anything done?’”

This article makes it clear as day that they will continue to focus on branding and marketing while doing absolutely nothing.

Bill Clinton might have been a worse president than Reagan. He's an all around piece of poo poo and I'm glad his dumbass wife lost.

quote:

Biden himself thought up the phrase “Ultra MAGA,” which he and other Democrats have started using in hope of drawing a clear contrast with Trump’s movement.

The phrase tested well in polling reviewed by the White House, but it also had the unintended effect of firing up the Trump faithful. Merchandisers have found a hot market for “Ultra MAGA” T-shirts.

This is one of those articles that appears to have been written sympathetically but has the opposite effect on readers to what the author intended, Biden really loving does come across as doddering and not on top of things.

Clinton's crimes are worse than Reagan because Clinton intentionally undermined what was meant to be the opposition to people like Reagan. So not only did Clinton do a bunch of neolib poo poo that is still destroying the nation and world today, but he also formalized the process of making sure nobody could stop it even if they wanted to do so.

To use a car analogy, who is worse: the guy pushing the accelerator as the car veers off the cliff or the guy who cut the brakes (and is also pushing the accelerator)?

and the entire party line was that biden could only make things better, not stand as an example that democrats will try to follow for the rest of our lives since they know they can get away with absolute corporate garbage as long as they keep propping up the worst opponents and pointing to them screaming REPUBLICANS ARE WORSE VOTE FOR US OR YOU'RE BIGOTS

but they voted for him anyway and are still pretending it wasn't endorsing biden and his garbage politics as the most progressive thing you'll see ever again

this article owns lol

quote:

Beyond policy, Biden is unhappy about a pattern that has developed inside the West Wing. He makes a clear and succinct statement — only to have aides rush to explain that he actually meant something else. The so-called clean-up campaign, he has told advisers, undermines him and smothers the authenticity that fueled his rise. Worse, it feeds a Republican talking point that he’s not fully in command.

The issue came to a head when Biden ad-libbed during a speech in Poland that Russian President Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power.” Within minutes, Biden’s aides tried to walk back his comments, saying he hadn’t called for Putin’s removal and that U.S. policy was unchanged. Biden was furious that his remarks were being seen as unreliable, arguing that he speaks genuinely and reminding his staff that he’s the one who is president.

Democracy is when you have one party with tightly controlled primaries in charge because every other party is crazy.

Also Cuba is undemocratic because they only have one party!
