Trying to target people who will vote for Biden isn't unreasonable. The goal of a political campaign is to win, so it makes perfect sense that you would want to direct your money and volunteer time as much as possible to people who will vote for your guy, and not the other guy. It would be stupid to purposely not focus your efforts and end up helping your opponent. A very common criticism of the Hillary campaign is that she didn't even try to turn out potential Democratic voters in states she needed, and instead pursued a goal unrelated to trying to actually win (running up the popular vote in California so she could claim her surely-inevitable presidency had a huge mandate)

But it is very funny that libs seemingly can't admit to themselves that they are doing this, and have to pretend to themselves that their only motive for voter registration drives is a selfless commitment to "democracy" as a concept, and not something as gauche and boorish as trying to get their guy elected.

if they really wanted to pre-screen new registrations by affiliations, the volunteers would be wearing those obama t-shirts this year, bc I guarantee that those would filter out non-democrats, unlike in 2012.

but since the democrats are also trying to woo indy voters & never-trumpers that prolly wouldn't work.

If inflation would be worse with Trump as president that implies the President has the ability to influence inflation. Thus the terrible inflation we are enduring under Biden is a choice on his part not something out of his hands.

"MAGAnomics is inflation-feeding welfare for the rich that raises taxes," White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates writes in a new memo to Biden allies, out this morning.

yeah, sure, go with that since touting bidenomics has worked out so well, and since inflation has gone up 30 percent since genocide joe took office.

Once again we have the mainstream media lazily trying to continue a narrative that the economy is a problem for Biden. If there are weak economic numbers, it’s bad for Biden. If there are strong economic numbers, it’s bad for Biden.

The latest example is the pathetic front page headline in today’s Washington Post: The economy, and inflation, are revving up at a terrible time for Biden.

The article starts by pointing out that there are “unexpectedly strong job growth, wages and consumer spending” right now. Sounds good, right? But no, WaPo cries that these numbers come at a “terrible time” for Biden and are “bad luck” for him.

WaPo’s key point for trying to explain that these numbers are “terrible” for Biden is that they prevent inflation from dropping. Yes, inflation went up by a small 0.3% in March, but WaPo describes this blip with overblown language like “inflation revving up” and “ inflation heating back up.”

Nevermind that inflation is down from 9.1% in June 2022. Nevermind that inflation was higher at similar points in President Bill Clinton’s and President Ronald Reagan’s tenures, when year-on-year inflation was at 3.6% and 4.8%, respectively, and both went on to win reelection. Nevermind that, as WaPo points out, that “so far Americans have been more than happy to splurge on services like dining out, travel and hotel stays, despite inflation.” Nevermind that, as WaPo also points out, “big-ticket items like cars, furniture and appliances, have actually gotten cheaper in the past year.” Still, the newspaper decided to cast all of this in an extremely negative framing for Biden. That’s an intentional and manipulative choice, imho.

The key data point the article uses to show the problem with inflation is that gasoline prices have been “creeping up” over the past two months. Well, the current average is $3.633, up from $3.396 a month ago — up a small $0.237. Nevermind that it’s down from $3.645 one year ago. Nevermind that gasoline prices increase every year leading into summer.

Yet WaPo opines that Biden is “struggling” on his economic messaging. It’s no wonder, when you have the corporate media determined to beat to death its lazy narrative that the economy is a problem for Biden and always will be forever and a day. We all know that if consumer spending or job growth or wages were to drop, WaPo would jump on that as also being “terrible” for Biden.

Thanks for allowing me to rant.

The cope is strong with that one. There's long been a maxim in politics: if you're explaining, you're losing. No one cares what the YoY inflation numbers were under Reagan or Clinton; they care what's happening with their pocketbooks in the here and now.

their latest response to inflation is to once again claim it would be worse under trump. that is the entirety of their plan.

All Trump has to do is promise to revert prices to what they used to be five years ago and he'll win with a supermajority.

I'm so glad that we elected President Biden in 2020, now the adults are back in charge. Trump almost certainly would've started WW3 in his 2nd term.
