but his public relations and self promotion is awful. I think we can all agree on that. Who is to blame

(16,485 posts)There is only so much self-promotion one can do without sounding like a bloviating and boastful fool.
Nuff said.

(718 posts)It is safe to say the campaign never stops. 24/7 or it had BETTER not stop. I really think Biden needs a David Plouffe or someone of that caliber to run his political/PR stuff. Some of the people he has serving him are not doing a ver good job. There should be a strong pro Biden message to counter the shit from Fox.

(718 posts)I hate to admit it but Trump has changed the landscape. The present administration needs to better promote the wonderful job Biden is doing and the progress he is leading or we and the country as a whole will pay the price.

And no one is talking about that. The rank and file republiQan voter has no idea that happened.
Our lack of professionally created and coordinated public relations is our greatest failing.

(50,774 posts)I believe the entities that craft those messages that you always see republiQans spouting in unison in every media source are privately funded think tanks, though I am not sure about that.
I would think the national and local Democratic Campaign Committees should be the groups that recruit and organize them.

(7,081 posts)First, the positive.... He has united NATO and managed to keep this about Russia vs. Europe. That's brilliant.
But it was and is a mistake to tell the Russians that we would not consider military action even if he means it.
First, you never tell the bad guys what you are not going to do. It helps them make risk assessments. The Russians ALWAYS have to be considering how far they can go before provoking a response. And by saying we won't do it, we've given them a LOT more leeway.
Second, it's bullshit. There ARE circumstances we would enter the fight and he knows it.
If Russian troops were start public executions of Ukraine resistance fighters? If there were stacks of Ukrainian bodies? No way we'd just watch that happen and it's foolish to suggest we would.

(7,081 posts)It's easy enough to say that we are not deploying military forces NOW, but we maintain the right to do so if conditions on the ground change.
If you say up front "Nope, no troops. Not gonna happen," you've removed a worry from the bad guys' mind. That's not something you never want to do.
I mean, you are doing EXACTLY what Putin wants. You are worrying about what HE will do. You are not thinking about how to make him worry about what WE will do. We already told him what we will NOT do. How does that make any sense at all, strategically?
