CBS poll hits the nail on the head





Obviously we all have issues we care a lot about. The perception for two thirds of Americans is that Biden and the Democrats are not concentrating on those issues we care a lot about. That is going to be a problem. It's one thing when someone fails to solve an issue, but it's worse when that person never even tries. Moreover, the two biggest issues (the economy and Covid) are now issues that Biden is underwater in. A majority blame Biden policies for the poor economy and a plurality blame Biden policies for Covid. 

The reality is that the far left is dominating the Party right now and that is who Joe Biden is spending his fading energy on. Instead of focusing on fixing the economy without spending trillions of dollars, or trying to come up with something, anything, to slow down Covid... they continue to focus on peripheral issues. They are spending all their time on things like dismantling the filibuster so they can push unpopular election legislation, more Jan 6th commission updates, anything and everything Donald Trump, more intrusive mandates, and the unvaccinated boogie monsters. At best, some of these are 50-50 issues. At worse, these are issues pushed only by the fringe left.

The bigger issue is that Democrats seemed more focused on their opponents than they are on themselves. Liberals have a long history of trying to tell conservatives what problems they have and how to fix them, but seem to never recognize what is happening in their own backyard. Demanding that Trump is driving "sane" Republicans out of the Party, for instance, when these are Trump haters that had no chance of winning either a primary or general election in November. Meanwhile Democrats are the ones with a real problem with over two dozen retirements, many from incumbents who are looking at tough races that a new candidate will almost surely lose. 

Perhaps it makes liberals feel better for a while to spread more conspiracies about the unarmed plot to take over the world led by obscure groups and men dressed up in costume or how they will finally get Trump "this time" in some new obscure legal trapping made up by some legal analyst providing opinion for a half million watchers on what used to be CNN. But at the end of the day, those are just attempts to change the subject from what the vast majority of Americans want our leaders to deal with. 

But hey... the more the far left continues to focus on stuff that only the far left cares about and the more these people can continue to influence Biden, Schumer, and Pelosi, the better off it is for the rest of Americans come November when the shit hits the fan and the power is back in the hands of the competent good guys (no gender triggering intended).

Simply put, a clear majority of Americans believe that Slow Joe has lost what's left of his fucking mind, and as you stated, is being led around by the most radical fringes of the left.

Trump had 15,000+ at his Arizona rally. More than attended all of Slow Joe's campaign events COMBINED.

I think maybe we should all be quite concerned about the possibility that not only Russia but China and even North Korea may perhaps now have hypersonic missiles that can fly five times(?) the speed of sound and are able to avoid interceptive defensive missiles.

And how could they have developed these capabilities during the presidencies of Carter, Reagan, W. Bush, Clinton, G. Bush, Obama, and Trump?

While we are viciously fighting each other politically, what are those opposing powers doing?

Democrats Need to Make the Bad Guys Take Some Tough Votes
The worst political fight is the one you never start.


Five months ago, Democrats had a pretty simple plan for the midterm elections: “Here’s the good news,” said Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee executive director Tim Persico, “Everything we are doing and everything we’ve talked about doing is incredibly popular.”

Here’s the bad news: All that popular stuff ended up stuffed in the Build Back Better Act, which Democrats subsequently failed to pass. What’s more is that in the intervening time, the omicron variant of Covid-19 has surged, but the vital economic support that got us through the year has mostly lapsed, and no prospect of passing a new round of pandemic aid is on the horizon.

Democrats, already facing the traditional headwinds that the party that wins the White House tends to weather in the midterms, now have to carve out some sort of campaign message. They could hope for the possibility that Joe Manchin might agree to vote for some Build Back Better–shaped bill. But given the West Virginia senator’s penchant for changing his mind and pulling the rug out from under his colleagues, no one should expect success on this front.
What, then, can Democrats salvage from the wreckage of the Biden agenda? Well, if there’s little hope of anything else, they shall have to extract something from the certainty of failure, by making the bad guys eat some tough votes.

Let us consider just how easy it is to be a Republican right now. Congress has failed to advance a slew of popular policies to Biden’s desk, ranging from the extension of the enhanced child tax credit to paid family leave, to funding for in-home and community-based care. Democrats have been ill served by the spectacle created by all their intraparty wranglings and their (often tragicomical) inability to work together. The public has watched their caucus fall into dysfunction and its once-generous signature bill get steadily whittled down.

Republicans have yet to take much blame for these failures. They’ve largely sat on the sidelines as failed Democratic negotiations became the main event in Washington over the latter half of 2021. Meanwhile, the GOP has been left off the hook.

Honest, decent, truthful Rev. said...

Democrats could argue that the fact they were forced to stuff their agenda into a reconciliation bill in order to dodge a GOP filibuster is sufficient to demonstrate Republican opposition to popular policies. But maybe the people need a clearer reminder of the Republicans’ obstructionism.

Democrats cannot afford to tarry too long, clinging to a thin sliver of hope that Biden’s legislative agenda might still pass in some form. At a certain point, they’ll have to start writing a new midterm script about their opponents and what they stand for … and against. To get there, Democrats might need to bite the bullet and bring the House’s doomed version of the Build Back Better Act to the floor. Republicans’ refusal to pass it will put their opposition to popular policies on display.

Or it could mean taking a more aggressive approach. As the Brookings Institution’s Elaine Kamarck explained last month, there is a case to be made for a piece-by-piece strategy. Separated from the larger bill, some of the programs Democrats want to enact might attract enough Republican support to secure passage if they’re brought up for a stand-alone vote.

Failing that, Kamarck writes, “Republicans would be forced to vote, on the record, against some very popular ideas and face Democratic criticism in the midterms.” Furthermore, doing it piecemeal might “make it harder for the president’s opponents to message an attack,” giving an edge to the president and his allies. “Either way,” she writes, “something is better than nothing.”

Naturally, there’s little doubt that taking such a step would mark the end of Biden’s futile courtship with Manchin. But Democrats can’t afford to be governed by the senator’s solo performance-art piece on the sunk cost fallacy. At some point, Manchin needs to be treated not as a good-faith partner but as someone who is specifically shielding the GOP from political damage.

Besides, in actually putting things up for a vote, Democrats will be giving the West Virginia senator, along with any other recalcitrant Democrats, the only thing they are truly owed: the ability to make a choice. The party’s larger duty is to offer voters some clarity about who is really for and really against the popular parts of the Biden agenda. Illuminating voters in this fashion is critical for the upcoming midterm elections and beyond.

It is truly a pity that it’s come to this: that a bill that promised to “build back better” has been reduced to some mere stalking horse for midterm political messaging. But Democrats need to demonstrate a commitment to these core ideas that form the centerpiece of their governing agenda.

Even if it doesn’t work in the short term and they get locked out of power in 2022, voters dissatisfied with GOP governance might find their way back to a party that took clear stances on the country’s economic well-being. The fact that Congress might not deliver Biden’s life-altering agenda and improve so many Americans’ lives is a tragic failure. But if the failure is all that’s left, then how it fails matters a great deal.

Do you want the complete and total failure of the dementia patient President we have now running again for reelection? Would you still vote for this clown knowing what an idiot he has been as President?

My guess is that you would vote for whomever the Democrats put up as their nominee... because you voted for the worst candidate in history and his vice President who makes Dan Quayle look like Albert Einstein.

Tell us Reverend?

You know... be honest and all.

C.H. Truth said...

Republicans have yet to take much blame for these failures.

Perhaps because they are Joe Biden's and Democrat's failures???


But now that your networks like CNN and MSNBC are speaking to nobody and even the NYT are forced to be honest every once in a while... there is not the same liberal MSM to simply make up a reason to blame the GOP for Biden failure after Biden failure after Biden failure....


Now it looks like Putin has got Biden by the short and curlies and Biden is crying like a little girl. You know, as if he isn't failing enough domestically and it's been a while since he failed internationally.

Biden to Hold Press Conference Wed.

(CNN)President Joe Biden is set to hold a news conference marking his first year in office next Wednesday, January 19, White House press secretary Jen Psaki announced Friday.

"Next Wednesday, the President will hold a formal press conference at 4:00 p.m. in the afternoon," Psaki told reporters at the press briefing.
Psaki continued, "Look forward to seeing you there, and the President looks forward to speaking directly to the American people."

Though Biden has fielded questions from the press informally following remarks and during departures and arrivals at the White House, he has not held a formal press conference since he addressed reporters at the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland, on November 2, 2021.

Reverend...

I wrote the post about the horrifyingly poor polling for Biden. This thread is for discussions about Joe Biden.

The second comment on the thread? You deflecting the subject.


But this is EXACTLY what the majority of Americans are saying. Rather than focus on anything important... such as what is happening and what will be happening in 2022 and why Democrats in power are concerned with everything else.

In your case, you want to talk about Trump and 2024? Case in point.


So you want to criticize for "deflection"?

Seriously?

C.H. Truth said...

So Reverend...

The topic of the thread is Joe Biden and the fact that he refuses to concentrate on what the American public wants him to concentrate on.

Do you have an opinion or are you going to suggest that CBS is now part of your giant Trump conspiracy?


Because I would love for you to explain why you think that 2/3 of America prefer that our Government solve problems rather than spend valuable time talkin about Jan 6th of a completely different year or outright lying about "voting rights". Man, everyone (even liberals) attacked Biden for his horrible over the top divisive speech the other day. NYT, WaPo, even CNN attacked him.

I recall you were here cutting and pasting like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. You are even further left than the far left... or you just are never going to admit Biden is a fuck up?

Year One of the Biden presidency was a mixed bag. From COVID-19 to Afghanistan to the economy, Joe’s had a rocky start. Still, he’s delivered big on one promise.

In his inaugural address, Biden said, “Today, on this January day, my whole soul is in this: Bringing America together. Uniting our people. And uniting our nation.”

Boy, has he delivered. Across dividing lines of age, race and gender, the country is united on one point: Nobody likes Joe Biden.

Info and data that I have posted numerous times to the long and ardoous road that Pfizer and Moderna took well before Trump took credit..........seems to me these companies should be rewarded handsomely for being ahead of the curve!!!!!!

The shots were developed at record speed, arriving just over a year after a mysterious pneumonia surfaced in China, while so much else — political feuds, public distrust and botched government planning — went wrong.

They remain a marvel: Even as the Omicron variant fuels a new wave of the pandemic, the vaccines have proved remarkably resilient at defending against severe illness and death. And the manufacturers, Pfizer, BioNTech and Moderna, say that mRNA technology will allow them to adapt the vaccines quickly, to fend off whatever dangerous new version of the virus that evolution brings next.

Skeptics have seized on the rapid development of the vaccines — among the most impressive feats of medical science in the modern era — to undermine the public’s trust in them. But the breakthroughs behind the vaccines unfolded over decades, little by little, as scientists across the world pursued research in disparate areas, never imagining their work would one day come together to tame the pandemic of the century.

Trump's COVID and Election Falsehoods at Arizona Rally

Former President Donald Trump speaks at a rally in Florence, Ariz., Jan. 15, 2022. (Adriana Zehbrauskas for The New York Times
WASHINGTON — During a rally in Arizona on Saturday, former President Donald Trump repeated his lie that the 2020 election was stolen and made other false claims about the pandemic and the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6 last year. Here’s a fact check.

WHAT TRUMP SAID: “The left is now rationing lifesaving therapeutics based on race, discriminating against and denigrating, just denigrating, white people to determine who lives and who dies. If you’re white, you don’t get the vaccine, or if you’re white, you don’t get therapeutics.”

Sign up for The Morning newsletter from the New York Times

False. There is no evidence that white Americans are being denied access to vaccines or treatments.

Trump referred to a Wall Street Journal opinion column criticizing New York state’s guidelines on two limited antiviral treatments that ask health providers to prioritize the therapies for immunocompromised patients and those with risk factors. The guidelines, which were released in late December, said, “Nonwhite race or Hispanic/Latino ethnicity should be considered a risk factor, as long-standing systemic health and social inequities have contributed to an increased risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19.”

State officials have defended their guidelines by citing data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which show that Black, Hispanic and Native Americans are about twice as likely to die from COVID-19 than white Americans. A spokesperson for New York state’s Department of Health told Fox News that race did not disqualify patients from treatment but that the guidelines instead considered race as one risk factor.

In New York, white residents are more likely to be vaccinated than Black residents, which is in line with most of the country.

WHAT TRUMP SAID: “Why did Nancy Pelosi and the Capitol Police reject the more than 10,000 National Guard troops or soldiers that I authorized to help control the enormous crowd that I knew was coming?”

False. There is no evidence that Trump ever made a request for 10,000 National Guard troops or that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected such a demand. The speaker of the House does not control the National Guard.
