Well, now, this is a pretty big hot take, considering how bad the Biden administrations response was Wuhan Flu, along with Democrat politicians during both the Trump and Biden administrations. No need to explain, you know what they did
Biden adviser blames COVID-19 for Democrats’ difficulty in drawing enthusiasm for their messages
Former Atlanta mayor and current White House adviser Keisha Lance Bottoms gave reasons for why Democrats have had a hard time presenting ideas to the public and her first one was the COVID-19 pandemic.
In an interview on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” host Margaret Brennan cited President Biden’s recent comment that when it comes to his administration’s accomplishments, “people haven’t realized how good they are yet.” Brennan also mentioned the claim from Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., that Democrats have failed to adequately convey their message on the economy and similar claims from Hillary Clinton and Democratic National Committee adviser Cedric Richmond.
“If the policies are so good, why is communicating them such a problem?” Brennan asked.
“Well it’s been a very difficult couple of years,” Bottoms replied. “We’ve been in the midst of a pandemic, there’s been a lot of misinformation flooding the airwaves.”
You mean like being told that if we get the vaccine we won’t get COVID? That we should keep the economy closed and all stay home? That we should all be masked, especially young children?
Bottoms said that misinformation has not just been making things difficult on television but on the internet as well. She then pointed to this very interview as an example of Democrats making an effort.
“So it is more difficult to get the message out, but I’m sitting here today getting the message out,” she said.
Of course, she didn’t actually get the message out in the full, short interview. She yammered about abortion and student loan forgiveness, let’s look at the full interplay
MARGARET BRENNAN: In our polling, we see consistently that it is the economy and inflation that are top of mind for voters. The president said just a few days ago that he has passed so many good things, but people haven’t realized how good they are yet. Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin said, the truth is Democrats have done a poor job of communicating our approach on the economy. DNC advisor Cedric Richmond, you know him well, he told CBS, the president’s message of what he’s been able to accomplish has not gotten out there. Hillary Clinton just said, the work done by Democrats is impressive, but we got to get that message across more effectively. If the policies are so good, why is communicating them such a problem?
BOTTOMS: Well, it’s been a very difficult couple of years. We have been in the midst of a pandemic. There’s been a lot of misinformation flooding the airwaves. We see it in- in ways not just on television, but we’re seeing it through YouTube, we’re seeing it on other social media platforms. So, it is more difficult to get the message out, but I’m sitting here today getting the message out. This administration, Democrats in Congress have delivered for the American people, and to turn back the clock and not allow us to keep pushing through will be devastating for people across America. If we want prescription drug costs to remain low, then we need Democrats in Congress. If we want voting rights finally passed in Congress, we need Democrats in Congress. If we don’t want a national ban on abortion and for doctors and health care providers to be sent to prison for offering an abortion to a woman whose life may be in danger, then we need Democrats in Congress. And that’s the message that we will continue to push out, not just through Election Day, but beyond, because we know that elections happen quite frequently, and we can’t have people so discouraged that they think their votes don’t matter.
So, nothing on the economy or inflation. She did go on to yammer about J6. From a good piece by Jon Gabriel
Despite the midterm challenge of retaining majorities, Democrats’ task was no different from any other year. Find out the issues voters are talking about, then provide solutions.
They don’t even have to be real solutions; this is politics, after all. But you need to prove you actually listened to their concerns. Pretend to look interested, if possible. (snip)
Throughout 2022, Democrats pursued a different path. They gathered in D.C. backrooms, decided what voters should care about, and ran on that.
It’s worth reading the whole thing.
The left is absolutely covered in J6. 400-600 people out of 100,000 went into the Capitol. Probably 2/3rds of them had the doors opened and they walked in.
They did not have guns, bombs or weapons. They were little old ladies to 18 year old kids. They were American Citizens.
Yes there were 100-150 violent extremists who should all go to prison for a long time.
I wonder does the burning of Kenosha, WI by BLM and ANTIFA reflect who and what the Democrats are?
Yes to a degree.
Does BLM activist murdering cops reflect on who or what the Democrats are? Yes to a Degree.
Does Teachers in some cities and classrooms teaching your kids they SUCK at LIFE reflect on who or what the Democrats are? Yes to a degree.
Does Biden opening the southern borders of anyone to come in reflective of who or what the Democrats are? Yes to a degree.
Does DA’s across the country in Blue cities letting violent criminals go after an hour in jail without bail reflect on who or what the Democrats are? Yes to a degree.
Does the VP of the United STATES a Democrat giving money to people to bail them out of jail after violent confrontations with the police reflect who the democrats are? Yes to a degree.
Does Throwing people off of social media platforms run by leftists Democrats because they do not agree with their 1st amendment rights to free speech reflect who the Democrats are? Yes to a degree.
Does taking over corporations and demanding you have RIGHT THINK and with the corporate power of billions of dollars and 100’s of thousands of workers they can intimidate America into RIGHT THINK. Does that reflect who the Democrats have become. YES IT DOES.
When you take all of this into consideration it becomes a very clear picture of who the democrats are. A violent Political party whose sole intention is to destroy America from within and rebuild it as a totalitarian state with no right to free speech, no right to energy not approved by the state and no right to drive the vehicle of your choice. Soon your guns will be gone, your churches closed and your children taught they are garbage.
This is the Democrats vision for America. Remember that when you vote tomorrow.
When people are concerned with how they’re going to put food on the table this evening, maybe it’s a bit difficult to persuade them that a man who left office 21 months ago, and a fraternity party that got a bit out of hand 21 months ago, are more pressing issues.
The Dems are telling us, every day, that if you don’t vote for them, democracy will be lost, lost, lost! We’ll have a Nazi government, where we’ll be rounding up everyone but Christian white males to send them off to concentration camps. Maybe, just maybe, when your only appeal is too fantastic to be believed, you lose some credibility.
Yes and if you do vote for democrats then our democratic republic will become their national socialist republik.
What people understand is that MAGAtism is anti-democratic at its rotten core.
MAGAts believe they are entitled to their reign, which is why they are trying to rig the electoral process. They understand they are a minority, albeit a sizable one. In Georgia they only need 11,780 more votes to win!! In AZ they only need a Secretary of State to insure that tRump wins! 13 Election Deniers are on the Secretary of State ballots tomorrow. All Republicans.
Alabama – Wes Allen
Arizona – Mark Finchem
Connecticut – Dominic Rapini
Indiana – Diego Morales
Massachusetts – Rayla Campbell
Michigan – Kristina Karamo
Minnesota – Kim Crockett
Nevada – Jim Marchant
New Mexico – Audrey Trujillo
North Dakota – Charles Tuttle
Ohio – Terpsehore Maras
Vermont – H. Brooke Paige
Wyoming – Chuck Gray
To their credit, the nuGOP has actually made outreaches to “other” voters, i.e., Blacks and Hispanics, emphasizing the harm that comes from crime and illegal immigration. But simultaneously they must maintain their white, evangelical base’s fear of Blacks and Hispanics. It will be interesting to see if the nuGOP abandons their non-base voters or if they really are trying to become a more compassionate, inclusive party.
What people understand is that MAGAtism is anti-democratic at its rotten core.
So Make America Great Again is rotten to it’s core? And voting for MAGA candidates is anti-democratic? How can voting be anti-democratic? Dumbass! And we’re supposed to trust YOU? Fuck you. You’re nothing but a bunch of liars and grifters.
And another of your pointless lists of names? You are so boring and repetitive. And as an election steal denier you have the gall to complain? You and your commie party have been repeating this same shit for two years. Two years as our economy collapsed, our kids were tortured with masks, kept from school and when one of your commie union teachers decided to actually teach they taught CRT, BLM, the 1619 project, and crap by Marxists like Kendi. Then they brought in trans/queer propaganda and didn’t tell the parents as they groomed the children. But have no fear you kept our borders open so we essentially have no sovereign nation as you commies bring in criminals, disease, crime, fentanyl, cocaine, child trafficking, gun running, gangs and terrorists. Good job. And we’re rotten to the core? Who teaches 9 year old kids they can “change” sexes? Who murders a half million unborn American babies every year in their orgy of infant genocide? Who lets criminals out of prison to rob, murder and rape again? Who wants to disarm the law abiding? Who has destroyed our ability to be energy independent? Who got us into a war in the Ukraine defending nazis and Hunter bidens business partners?
Save your righteous indignation for when you grow an actual moral code and actually care about the working men you are driving into poverty, slavery and government dependence.
You are a liar and a pervert.
Mega MAGA. Let’s get’em tomorrow and drive the point home.
Votes haven’t even been counted yet Rimjob has already started his whining (Well, it hasn’t ever really stopped).
Poor thing.

This is America. The home of freedom of speech. Or has Dowd forgotten that?
Pointing to thousands of pages of documents and signed affidavits that are admissible in court to election fraud is hardly election deniers.
Election deniers would be those people like Stacy Abrams who said Kemp stole the election without a shred of evidence. Hundreds of people put up 1000’s if pieces of information, video evidence, as well as signed affidavits to chicanery only to be mocked into shame and their families, threatened just as dowd is doing today by listing names of election DENIERS who are NO SUCH THING.
I prefer the word election skeptics.
While 1st amendment suppression only served to turn out and influence state, after state, after state to change their voting laws so that there is more oversight and transparency in the voting process.
The same dowd who claims that the GOP suppresses black voters and calls Georgia’s new voting bill Jim Crowe 2.0 despite a RECORD NUMBER OF BLACKS AND VOTERS IN GENERAL voting early.
It turns out that what Dowd keeps referring to as election Deniers are people who have serious doubts about voting in this country and as a result that has spurred state after state after state to address those concerns.
Hopefully the only ED we will have to contend with is Transgender men cutting off their dicks cause Democrats encourage them to because women are more likely to vote for Democrats than are men.
Facts Matter? typed: This is America. The home of freedom of speech.
You can tell whatever lie you want!! But “freedom of speech” does not immunize you against criticism!
Election Deniers (EDs) still insist against all available evidence that PedoDon tRump won the 2020 election! PedoDon is not whining about investigations of the election, he’s claiming he won outright – after two friggin’ years with no credible evidence! We understand that some MAGAts are starting to see how ridiculous that claim is and have now started backtracking – “We just want fair elections!”. Don’t we all. And we all prefer to win, but not by cheating. Let everyone vote. Don’t toss out votes you don’t like. Don’t have state legislatures cancel your vote. Don’t let Secretaries of State decide the winner.
Once again you lying commie faggot we do NOT INSIST Trump won!!!!! You are the ones who deny all available evidence about election improprieties and INSIST the child predator won while refusing to investigate the voting for fear of being found out liars and grifters.
We understand that some MAGAts are starting to see how ridiculous that claim is and have now started backtracking – “We just want fair elections!”.
We are “starting” to see? Starting? We’ve been telling you here for almost a year are you stupid or just retarded?
You don’t want fair elections if you did you wouldn’t try every trick in the book to make vote cheating easy. From mail-in to no ID, to motor voter, to drop boxes to a month long election “day” you are all about the steal. Hell, you even ran around screaming “By any means necessary” but now you deny you stole the election even without investigating. Liars, all liars.
Let everyone vote. Don’t toss out votes you don’t like. Don’t have state legislatures cancel your vote. Don’t let Secretaries of State decide the winner.
And there you are: “Let everyone vote”. Felons, the insane, non citizens,? How about if they didn’t register or nave no proof they are the ACTUAL voter? No. Sorry asshole. We don’t want “everyone” to vote. And if not secs of state who then decides the propriety and authenticity of a vote, a harvest or a steal? You? BTW, the state legs are in charge of the votes.
Liar, criminal and pervert. dowd is the quintessential leftist democommie.
Mega MAGA mothafuka. see you after you lose theft denier.
And impartial (or at least honest) counters should throw out any vote that appears suspicious or fails to meet the standards. PERIOD. I don’t want my vote cancelled by Felix the Cat.
The Mega MAGAt typed: BTW, the state legs are in charge of the votes.
Yes and no. The legislatures make the rules and in many states the Secretaries oversee the elections.
BTW, since “the state legs are in charge of the votes” what happened in Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin etc under complete MAGAt control? Did the MAGAt legislatures cheat for the Dems???
All you have is your hatred and ignorance.
Election Deniers (EDs) still insist against all available evidence that PedoDon tRump won the 2020 election!
WE understand your angst with the greatest president the country has ever known and why you must continually go after the man living rent-free in your head. It is the land of the free and we have the right to complain about the 2020 election as did HRC claim that 2016 was stolen from her.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQesfLIycJw
The reaction by the left was to throw democracy out the window and to spend 4 years impeaching Trump twice and trying to destroy America in the process. So much so that the left mortgaged the future of their party to win one election. 2020.
DOWD hysterically writes: “We just want fair elections!”. Don’t we all. And we all prefer to win, but not by cheating.
AMEN SHOUTED THE LEFT AS THEY EMBARKED ON A NOW SIX-year GOTCHA CAMPAIGN AGAINST TRUMP To delegitimize his presidency because I think honestly it was because he was a birther over Obama and not because he stole from the biggest threat to democracy in our lifetime…HRC.
Even today DOWD writes all day every day about TRUMP which has done nothing but contrast BIDEN/TRUMP and make this country PINE for MEAN TWEETS and harsh words to a liberal/leftist/out of control MSM.
DotC typed: the greatest president the country has ever known
Anyone who seriously types those words deserves no further consideration.
LOL. Oh, you’re serious. Greater than Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Wilson, FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Reagan, Obama??? trump is ranked ahead of James Buchanan and Andrew Johnson.
By what criteria do you bestow Donald John Trump the title of the greatest American president in history??? The debt? Falling in love with Kim Jong-un and Putin? Pussy grabbing? The plague? The recession? Or because he pwned the libs, hated the Dems and harangued the media?
The American people canceled trump bigly in November 2020. He would be easily forgotten as the author of a sad 4 years in American history IF he would just go away. But long as he stays the leader of the nuGOP, the nuGOP presidential candidate in 2024 and controls the violently stupid MAGAt cult he’ll continue to be criticized by American patriots.
Groomer Dowd is repeating his Masters’ lies again. Typical troll.
I want to thank trolls for showing us who their Masters are scared of (else they would ignore us.)
We patriots already knew your Masters were scared of Patriots armed with truth and love of our Republic – but thanks for the reminder.
It’s funny Bill589 how the dems have been in charge of our entire government since 2020 and Elwood still runs around blaming Repubs for everything that his party screwed up from the price of oil to the failing economy.
A total lack of self awareness.
I was third in line to vote this morning and only because I brought a girl friend with me and let her go first. Right now there are 66 people here. All white, all ages and all smiling. I pointed this out to a guy in a Trump shirt and he said we need to prepare for another steal since the dems consider White people voting orderly as “voter suppression”. We laughed.
If there is a huuuuge red wave do you think dowd will spend the next 6 years running around bitching about the “steal”? If the pile of brain defected Uncle Fester look alike wins in PA will that prove a “fix” in that state? After all there is no way a rational person would vote for a brain damaged giant who is a far left communist that never held a job and is so ugly he could stop a clock. I bet the dems in PA are scurrying around with pre-printed ballots as we speak. I figure some power outages, a couple overflowing toilets and a bomb scare should provide the opportunity to cheat pare excellence. The dems in PA are professionals at that.
Mega MAGA friends. WATCH the vote count. No more “pauses” while they bring in more ballots. God Bless America and Ron DeSantis for keeping Florida a free state.
BTW, since “the state legs are in charge of the votes” what happened in Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin etc under complete MAGAt control? Did the MAGAt legislatures cheat for the Dems???
What does the legislature control of election laws have to do with the democommies lying and cheating in elections? Especially when in some cases the courts stepped in and ILLEGALLY changed the rules?
All you have is your hatred and ignorance.
We love your continued projection. Especially when you point out your own personal immorality and try to deflect it to others. LOL What a maroon.
Mega MAGA. God Bless America.
