As a left leaning Independent, I take no joy in announcing this, but it's time to face an unpleasant fact:

No matter if you love him or hate him, few will argue that Donald Trump was pretty good at getting his message out. His message frequently made peoples blood boil, but no one would accuse Trump of being camera shy. Unfortunately, Joe Biden's low key, plodding persona, and (less than) dynamic speeches have slowly eroded his popularity and poll numbers to dismal levels. It's no secret that Republicans will slam Biden, no matter what he does (even if he occasionally backs policies once supported by Trump) but now even swing voters are turning against Biden, and by extension, Democratic candidates. In today's political world where messaging is more important than policy, intellect, logic or even sanity, the Democrats need a new messenger, and badly. The one they now have is losing the message war. :dunno:
 
When you saddle yourself with albatrosses like "Defund the Police" and "I am a Socialist" it's going to be an uphill battle.

Besides sane and rational policies just don't fit on bumper stickers and they don't make for funny and insulting memes.
 
The Left can't meme.

When you can't afford to gas your car or buy milk the message is an unspoken one, and more powerful.

If there is a specific message, I couldn't tell you what it is.

Meanwhile, the GQP continues to hammer away on the cultural issues and inflation, making solid progress.

This country remains in desperate need of a strong, viable third party.

So is messaging more important to you than policy, intellect, logic or sanity? Which of those do you agree with Biden, and which of those did you disagree with Trump?

Pretty much dispels the rightarded myth about the "MSM."

Of course the Democrats do not have a propaganda machine like the Republicans do. It is hard to tell whether trump or the conspiracy nuts or the fox slash Murdoch pundits say things first, and repeat them endlessly.

Actually, it would be better if political parties were ABOLISHED which came into force AFTER George Washington and John Adams were President who never identified with any parties.

Then people who have the desired leadership skills and relevant experience and love the Country can run for the office without the partisan bullshit trailing in after them.
 
No intelligent person wants to hear it when your message is to defund or abolish police, spend money until we have the largest inflation figures in 40+ years, release murderers, pedophiles and rapists to reoffend, stop producing oil products, driving prices to all-time highs, leave our border wide open to everyone including criminals, terrorists, drug and human smugglers and the diseased, brainwash our children with transexual and critical race theory bullshit, etc. etc. Lockdowns and perpetual masking along with vaccine mandates even though they don't work. The suppression of free speech. Not to mention the militant arms of the Democrat party, antifa and BLM, who spent the whole summer of 2020 rioting, looting, murdering and tearing down beautiful historic statues. Those are messages that only idiots could agree with.
