This needs to be the DOMINANT NARRATIVE.

[kpete]

“We now have a presidency where the president has delivered the largest economic recovery plan since Roosevelt, the largest infrastructure plan since Eisenhower, the most judges confirmed since Kennedy, the second largest health care bill since Johnson, and the largest climate change bill in history. … The first time we’ve done gun control since President Clinton was here, the first time ever an African American woman has been put on the U.S. Supreme Court. … I think it’s a record to take to the American people.”

— White House chief of staff Ron Klein, in an interview with Politico.

2. In real inflation adjusted numbers?

Last edited Fri Aug 19, 2022, 10:46 AM - Edit history (1)

I love How Biden and have been pleased with is work. I just need to ask are these numbers inflation adjusted.

[Edit] It appears so.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/10/02/joe-biden-new-deal-infrastructure/

Wow, who would think a multi-decade Senator would be able to get real stuff done.

He should do a real "Infrastructure Week" to Brag, propose even more, and totally showcase how puny TFG's legislatitive record was.

[panader0]

12. It would be cool to have an ad showing people actually at work, "shovel ready"

and showcase it to promote the infrastructure plan in action.

[summer_in_TX]

22. Experience makes a difference.

Biden is so low key and humble that we don’t think of him as transformational.

[not fooled]

28. Amazing, isn't it

Joe's accomplishments--which confer positive change for all Americans--are not given the press or praise they deserve. In contrast, an obnoxious braggart who did nothing or worse--unless you consider his tax cuts for the wealthy as consructive--is viewed more positively in the minds of his deluded followers.

[lunatica]

29. I think the Democrats would do quite well

if they created a documentary style ad to explore what the benefits of climate change legislation would look like. I’d love to see one! It’s a very exciting subject. Like watching the architecture development in Dubai. Something showing climate change initiatives from drawing board to completion. Skyscraper farms to smart houses to advancing AI usage. Something like you see in Curiosity Stream. I believe anything is possible if we throw enough money at it.

[IbogaProject]

43. Yes and cover Infrastructure.

Biden should brag about it being an Infrastructure Administration by touting how huge the smaller then he desired packages passed have amounted to bigger than Eisenhour, FDR or LBJ's big famous initiatives in inflation adjusted real dollars.
I've seen many times the usual road and bridge work the last 18 months than I've seen ever both in number of projects and the scale of the work being done. .
I hope some of those party groups like DNC, DCCC and the like really tout everything we have done and how much more we can do with more
Senators and more Congresspeople. I also think we need to emphasize that tax cuts for the Rich have failed over the last 40 years. And when middle class and low income people get extra money they spend it, quickly, efficiently, and typically locally, these all boost the economy and have a multiplier effect. A wealthy person is likely to not spend that extra money anytime as quick, often not even in our country.

3. Will Americans appreciate a POTUS who is a good man, and makes their lives much better?

Works hard to protect the people and gives them easier, happier and healthier lives?

Or will the American people continue to adore a ruthless sociopath who does nothing but destroy the country?

[Moostache]

15. Even if you meant these as rhetorical, sadly we KNOW the answers.

45% of the American people will recognize Biden's accomplishments and initiatives
45% of the American people will continue to sniff glue and eat paint chips while screaming about pronouns and rights
10% of the American people will vote for whomever is "winning" the messaging cycle in the 5 days ahead of the Presidential Election in 2024.

That last 10% are the ones I really struggle to understand now.

Trump is, was and ever shall be a nuclear dumpster fire of graft, crass self-promotion and idiocy wrapped in an artificial wrapper and doused in gallons of artificial coloring. His actual record in office is worse than anything ever seen in the 230+ year history of the republic. There are no accomplishments - short of being temporally lucky for SCOTUS nominations and assisted by the bloodless reptile from Kentucky in that matter.

The fact that every single member of that mushy 10% is not horrified by what we have witnessed since 2016 is mind-blowing.

[Irish_Dem]

27. Yes.

Very good description of Trump, perfect as a matter of fact.

Yes he is the worse president in American history. And I believe we have yet to know the full extent of his crimes and damage to our country.

Most of the credit for SCOTUS goes to McConnell, as ruthless a sociopath as they come.
Also one of the worst in American history.

The 10% you describe are fairly common. We have all known people like this, sometimes unfortunately a boss. They always just go with the opinion of the last person they talk to.

Could be they are lazy, don't want to work at anything. Or have a low IQ, or poor judgement and lack of critical thinking skills, poor memory.

The people who adore Trump are the problem. Someday there are going to be dissertations written about this group.

[OldBaldy1701E]

17. The American People will appreciate him.

The American (and by extension the world) media will not. Being successful and proper does not create clicks. We need to make sure to point this out as well. Whenever a particular media decides to bash the Democratic agenda, we need to refer to this list and remind them that the list is made up of success, not clickbait.

[Wounded Bear]

5. Couple it with repub attacks on women's rights and health care...

and it should be a winner.

[Justice matters.]

9. Yep. The RepubliQan agenda:

More tax cuts for Billionaires and Millionaires.

End of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare.

Defund the FBI, and send copies of all Top-Secret Classified documents to Putin.

Criminalize abortion and healt care services for women in each and every state.

Allow RepubliQan state legislatures to destroy votes they don't like.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

32. Yes, compare and contrast. This should motivate even the most apathetic voter.

There seems to be a trend amongst Republican presidents:

[liberalla]

6. Yes, yes, YES!!!

[yorkster]

7. Get this into ad format before the midterms, Dems.

A clear, strong message. Thx.

Small point - Ron Klain not Klein.

[MissMillie]

8. Exactly the narrative that we need

and no mention of TFG.

With a record like this, we don't need to run against TFG any more.

[marieo1]

10. Ron Klein is a Hero

Joe Biden is a super President.........thank you Ron Klein.......I have always admired and respected you.

[usonian]

11. Someone posted this.

Hits the main points.

Needs more effective presentation, and spell-checking.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

39. This chart appeals to me, but what Dem groups need to do (more of?) is use focus groups

to find out which methods actually work to get pro-Dem messages heard & understood by the most Americans and put as much money as possible behind whatever the research says will work.

Rs do this and it works.

[usonian]

44. The reason I am jumping up and down and screaming out loud is that DNC seems to be spending a few

months after every new revelation (I think last week there were about 10 of them) and might have a unified message a few months after midterms and at that point, spend a couple of years thinking REAL HARD about the election, given that they will hedge whether Joe Biden chooses to run (he says YES) or if Adlai Stevenson returns to life and has a different platform. (ultra-sarcasm here)

I would rather "Shotgun" (pardon the analogy) a lot of very important issues to see what sticks at the polls than spend the next 12 months writing a thesis.

Dont forget, since the big turn from a GOP platform to a putin-led GQP "all hate and resentment" it is a simple equation. Whatever gets the mob angriest.

destruction is easy. Construction is hard.

MESSAGE, GOTV, FIGHT AND KICK ASS.
ANY MORE THAN THIS IS TIME WASTED (IMNSHO)
Rs get off their fat asses. For vile reasons, but they get their poisoned message out.

Am I in a mood today? Apples latest upgrade about 90% bricked my iphone, and I spent hours trying to recover. Yup, looks like another cheap one is on the agenda. I will get the cheapest one I can latch on to.

[dchill]

14. Ron Klain.

[elias7]

16. It's sad, the media can't trash Biden anymore, si

Just crickets…

[calimary]

18. Talk it UP!

Push that narrative!

Tell ‘em, and then tell ‘em AGAIN!

Repeat and then repeat SOME MORE!!!

Wonder why you see the same commercials over and over again? The advertisers know. Repeated messaging WORKS! It generates SALES. The ad buyers know, and that’s why you see all those commercials on repeat!

Keep driving that messaging forward! Cuz it WORKS.

[Victor_c3]

19. The Biden presidency is shaping up to be a once-in-a-generation presidency

And we’re not even half way through his term!

A series of adds needs to be aired constantly reminding people of what Democrats get done.

[intheflow]

20. So interesting that they included Jackson's SCOTUS appointment

As a first for Black women, but just skipped over Harris. Still, a great sentiment overall, and should be our party’s mantra going into the midterms.

[llashram]

21. thank you

damn sure...the team at the top are topnotch

[Wild blueberry]

23. Yes!

I'll use this wherever I go, and in letters to the editor, and talking to voters.
Thank you!

[Demsrule86]

24. Sure but don't forget...Roe, Roe and more Roe which has changed voting patterns...

We need to win so as to save lives and stop the wholesale attack on women.

[BaronChocula]

25. Thank you!

It seems like I'm constantly posting about how focus should be on repeating effective messages, in good times and in bad, but you know progressives and effective messaging...

[uponit7771]

26. K&R,

[housecat]

30. Fill the airwaves. Repeat repeat repeat

[Hermit-The-Prog]

31. More Democrats, please.

[TigressDem]

41. + 10,000 nt

[BigmanPigman]

33. Simone Sanders said that they need to go to each state

and tell the citizens exactly how it will help them in their lives. She said the Biden team is working on this. Another guest on MSNBC said that the media could help (yes, YOU MSNBC) by focusing on the good trends in the economy instead of doom and gloom all the time the mention Biden's name. I applauded that last statement. The media is responsible for a lot of the negativity and they know it!!

[DLCWIdem]

34. Not to mention getting the PACT act which helps veterans

[spanone]

35. ...K&R...

[live love laugh]

36. The definitive case against term limits.

[randr]

37. We are winning and will enjoy better lives

They have lost and have only idle threats to soothe their anger.

[Joinfortmill]

38. And all they talk about is f*ing Trump the Traitor

[TigressDem]

40. And gas prices are going down.

California is still high, but prices span from < 2.87 - 5.01

AND I know I got E85 for $2.85 the last time I filled up my flex fuel car.

https://www.gasbuddy.com/gaspricemap?lat=38.822395&lng=-96.591588&z=4

What's the best price in your area?

[Stinky The Clown]

42. No mention of the first woman VP and the fact she is a woman of color?

[Roy Rolling]

45. Make it a 10-second sound bite

That’s the language of those who listen but don’t hear.
