A good point made by a liberal.

The Problem With How Democrats Are Selling Their Agenda

Iknew the Democrats had a messaging problem the day I saw newspapers describe Joe Biden’s Build Back Better plan as a vast expansion of the social safety net. Safety nets are those cumbersome things that catch you when you stumble and fall. They’re important, but they are not the stuff of inspiration. Nobody wants to need a government check. Kids dream of growing up to be singers, nurses, firefighters and pilots — jobs that will give them dignity, purpose and a role in the world. I’ve never met a kid who dreamed of growing up to live off a government check.

Democrats need to get back to being the party of work, not the party of social safety nets. The good news is that Biden understands that....

The bad news is it's too late, Republicans stole that thunder and has become the popular working man's party.

The Democrats are stuck with college-educated nerds, big business, big media, big tech, big banks...and selling safety nets no one really wants.

"Build Back Better" implies that we did something wrong over the last 250 years of American history. Mistakes were made that is true, but we hardly need to let these fools transform the entire country into a Socialist disaster.

No one is really selling it. Shouldn't poofy Pete the super Apostle be involved in the negotiating of the infrastructure bill? Meanwhile mattress Harris is MIA and old Joe is playing make believe from a fake oval office most probably made out of LEGOS.

Yeah this is so much better than Trump.

The problem is that I grew up with plenty of them. They all dropped out of school on the day they hit 16, but they were no-shows before that. They grew up in the welfare system and knew of nothing else.
People forget that when you grow up in welfare conditions or in a difficult area that most never know anything else exists. They just see themselves being part of what they grew up in. When you grow up with nothing you are not thinking about what you could have. You may see it on TV but it might as well be in a foreign country.

Build Back Better refers to maga being such a failure.I mean just look at the fence, AKA "The Wall", that rumpy had built. A good huff and puff and it is down.

LOL

And so Biden just sneaks kids into cities in the middle of the night.

Much better.

And all those "irregular" immigrants streaming into the US?

Democrats are now the party of child exploitation. I suppose that is marginally better than being the party of abortion any time anywhere by anyone.

Except Biden brings COVID with his kids to every state in America.

Psaki can then say that they know of no illegals with COVID let into the country. They just stopped testing them.

They're off to a great start.
