I think the Democrats may finally have found their message!!!!

[LAS14]

It's been creeping up on me over the last couple of weeks that EVERY member of the Biden administration, no matter what the context, talks about JOBS within the first few sentences. They've really got it together. It's good on so many fronts. But one front is that it's a great way to fight the "socialism" onslaught.

They may really have got it together this time.

1. It's the economy, Stupid. Hammer, nail, hit it again.

Jobs. New jobs. Replacement jobs. High paying jobs.

Hammer, meet nail.

[SammyWinstonJack]

10. New Green Deal JOBS! WIN WIN.

[bucolic_frolic]

12. Republicans will be the last to see the light, but they will see it

when the profits in their businesses grow from all the jobs and all the spending.

[COL Mustard]

21. Watch My Thumb!!!

OW!!!!!

[leighbythesea2]

27. Exactly

This matters every time. It could always be "it's the economy stupid". Not sure how or why we ever get off this message.

[doc03]

2. If the un-employment does improve I hope Democrats never miss an

opportunity to remind people how bad it was. That is the one criticism I have about Obama, he never blamed GWB for the
mess he inherited and never took credit for his accomplishments.

[groundloop]

14. Yes, agree..... Obama was too humble....

IMO the Democratic party would have fared better had he (or those around him) bragged on his accomplishments more.

22. But But But

Benghazi!!! Emails!!! Other stuff!!!!!

3. The great thing about a good message is that you don't notice it's a message

unless you're paying close attention ...

[lunatica]

26. If you can get them to think that they thought of it

themselves you win!

[Auggie]

4. We can do the same within our own families, friends, and communities

[LAS14]

5. And when they talk about jobs they're so excited! Did anyone hear Kerry on Fareed..

...Zakaria's show today? The jobs that a green economy will create? VERY BELIEVABLE!

[LazySusanNot]

6. I think you're onto something here...

I’ve seen the same thing recently - how everyone speaks with the same common “voice” (in this case “jobs”) and how well versed they each seem to be talking about the merits of the various administration plans and goals. I also noticed how well prepared they seem to be to counter the previous administration’s insane talking points. Maybe the Biden Administration will have an easier time getting their message out since they don’t have to remember any lies!

Jobs are a good thing. Truth is a good thing. Thanks for posting!!!

[Kablooie]

7. If they can actually create jobs and make sure they get credit for it...

It could begin to turn some red areas towards blue.

8. Biden is a genius

Those who don’t know that Biden is a genius are about to find out that he is really going to get this country going in the right direction, along with the economy.

[Vdizzle]

9. I've said it once and I'll say it again.

Joe Biden will go down in history as one of the greats... in the likes of FDR and Obama.

[bucolic_frolic]

11. Trump's maelstrom caused underperformance in just about everything

The rebound, well executed, should be epic. Inflation is the biggest threat, but that's only after payrolls and spending recovers, and the Fed is charged with, and has said, it will mop it up, if you believe them.

[NJCher]

13. yes

socialism: abstract

jobs: concrete

[My Pet Orangutan]

15. And TLP says 'Jim Crow' every time the talk about the GOP.

TLP are laser-focussed on AA turnout in 2022.

[PatrickforO]

17. What is TLP? I googled it and got a Pakistani political party.

Surely that cannot be it...

[crickets]

18. The Lincoln Project. nt

[PatrickforO]

19. Oh! Duh. Thanks!

[crickets]

25. NP! 😉

[smirkymonkey]

16. K&R

[CaptainTruth]

20. Messaging messaging messaging!

It matters, a LOT.

[BobTheSubgenius]

23. Great point(s)!

The best way to blunt the GOP's constant, spurious slurs is positive action.

[LudwigPastorius]

24. For now, I think the focus should be on aid to those who are out of work. (which the Democrats are..

doing)

The simple fact is the jobs lost to the pandemic are not coming back until it's over, and even then that will take time.

There are at least 18 million people unemployed because of the pandemic (and more who were without work before it struck). It took Bill Clinton 8 years to add that many jobs in a booming economy (the most, by number, added during any administration).

The focus should be kept on reversing the soaring infection and death rates, and getting aid to people struggling to survive. People in the administration need to be talking every day about how is NOT the time for budget austerity. We can either have a "soft landing" recession, or a long-term severe economic withdrawal depending on our spending priorities now.

Given how far away the GOP aid package offer is from what Biden wants, it will be interesting to see if their intransigence will push the Democrats to change the Senate rules and save the country without their sorry asses. I personally think this is inevitable, so we might as well roll on it.
