Heineken14 08/17/23 8:36:47 AM #19:	I think this topic may be a good reason why democrats are "bad at messaging." It's just the difference between left and right wing people. The left don't WANT to be messaged to, so they don't do it and instead are pointing out why Biden's messaging isn't correct. If this were Donnie (or any republican) they'd be blasting this all over the airwaves about how he lowered inflation and he's great. The right wing voters would be agreeing and using this argument of why he's great. Left wing people would point out why it's wrong and they'd tell them to fuck off they hate republicans for making America great and democrats support open borders. --- Rage is a hell of an anesthetic. <cite>Heineken14 posted [p:975500962] in Since the ...

Southernfatman 08/17/23 8:56:10 AM #36:	Sometimes my cynical ass wonders if Democrats' bad messaging is on purpose for whatever reason. I just can't believe they're this inept and clueless when it comes to helping themselves. Of course big media is against them, but surely there are other ways to get the message out. The question is why? Do they not want to win so much to keep up the government gridlock and thus the status quo? Maybe I'm just being too cynical here. --- http://i.imgur.com/hslUvRN.jpg When I sin I sin real good. <cite>Southernfatman posted [p:975501174] in Since the ...

littlebro07 08/17/23 9:13:29 AM #46:	The issue is most people don't see it as inflation going down since they're still paying more than they did before for most items and wages aren't increasing enough to make up the difference.
