  1. Democrats need to start talking a lot more about what they have accomplished than what they haven’t if they want any chance of not getting slaughter in November.

    • When you are able to locate a major media outlet that will broadcast the accomplishments of Democrats, let me know. I’m currently limited to NBC, CNN, NPR and they seem to think that the Democrats are not doing much at all.

      • I assume MSNBC, though I’m sure any network would take the money the party spends on ads communicating the same.

        • It needs to be more than paid network advertising.

          It needs to be one photo-op after another, relentlessly, so that each time a Democrat appears on-air, that Democrat is promoting the positive message.

          It needs to be approximately what GOP figures do, especially on Fox.

          • Fox does nothing more than continually attack “the left” and President Biden. Each morning news program must contain the following stories:

            • High crime in big cities.
            • Drug or other criminal activity involving the southern border.
            • Wounded or murdered police officer
            • Masks on kids in school
            • Questions regarding the effectiveness of vaccines
            • Inflation
            • Price of gas.

            Then they more onto ideas for your summer picnic, pictures of kittens, and a good old country song about God, pickup trucks, and ‘Merica!

          • Unfortunately, MSNBC and CNN follow the same formula with different bullet points:

            • GOP officials defend insurrection (repeat the same 15 sec clip of 6-Jan)
            • Democrats fail to pass whatever-it-is
            • Covid cases are skyrocketing in areas that don’t vaccinate
            • Hospital workers are desperate because of Covid
            • Voyeuristic “human interest” pieces on one of the above
            • Joe Biden approval ratings are lower
            • Price of gas

            There has not been actual NEWS on CNN or MSNBC from 8:00p until 2a on any weekday night for years (with possible exception of election nights).

            • I stated to laugh when I read this post because it was so accurate, but wound up crying because it’s so accurate.

            • I knew there was a reason that previously MSNBC was my go-to primetime viewing, whereas now it’s more of my if-nothing-else-is-on fallback.
