Nope, it's that the brainwashed by Fox/Internet nutjobs GOP base never hears about reality....just misinformation and hate. Poor America...Democrats, who have continuously had messaging problems through the current election cycle, have now blamed messaging itself for their failures months before the general election.
Democrats across the country are claiming they have âdone a lousy job at highlighting their accomplishments in a year plus of unified power in Washingtonâ and are using that as the source of their problems leading up to the November midterm elections, according to the Hill.

Democrats say theyâve done a lousy job at highlighting their accomplishments in a year plus of unified power in Washington, and are blaming this on the possibility they will suffer major losses in Novemberâs midterm elections.
âLook, Iâm not going to BS. Weâve done a fâing horrible job and sometimes I think we deserve to lose big in November,â said one Democratic strategist. âDemocrats can say whatever they want but itâs not honest.
âThe narrative here doesnât exist,â the strategist added. âWe need to wake up fast.â
Democratic strategist Rodell Mollineau, who served as a spokesman for the late Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), said many consultants think itâs âtone deafâ to boast about accomplishments at times of crises.
Still, he recalled Reid traveling back to Nevada every week to talk about his accomplishments. âAnd he won his race,â in 2010, when he was in the marquee Senate race against Sharron Angle. âSo say what you want.â
Strategists arenât the only ones giving Democrats poor marks. Earlier this month, Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, said Democrats need to do a better job touting their achievements.
âIâm not quite sure what the disconnect is between the accomplishments of the administration, and this Congress, and the understanding of whatâs been done, and the impact it will have on the American public, and some of the polling and the ongoing hand-wringing,â Clinton said on NBCâs âMeet the Press.â
She said the party has âa good case to make if we get our focus in the right place to do it,â arguing Democrats have âa lot of good accomplishments to be putting up on the board. And the Democrats in office and out need to be doing a better job of making the case.â
