In reply to the discussion: I'm sorry....I'm really getting tired of Jonathan Lemire.... [View all]Septua
(2,254 posts)21. I think they have been in disarray
Opinion:
Manchin and Sinema had their agendas and the progressives, theirs. I thought all along, the progressives were trying to get too much, too soon but Jayapal wouldn't back off and Joe apparently didn't try to get her moderate a little. 75% of something is better than 100% of nothing.
And the 'messaging' has been inadequate. Joe and the Dems have done a lot of good things but most people are bitching about gas prices, Joe's poll numbers are horrible and too many people still think Trump won.
But at least, MSNBC tells both sides of a story...all Fox does is tell viewers what they want them to hear.
The true issue IMO is that Democrats are civil and Republicans are 'win at any cost' driven.
The Democratic party needs to fund Lincoln Project to saturate the airways with anti-Trump, anti-fascist commercials.
