Joe Biden is doing a good job

[Boydog]

but his public relations and self promotion is awful. I think we can all agree on that. Who is to blame

[ProudMNDemocrat]

1. Joe Biden is NOT the TDFG.

There is only so much self-promotion one can do without sounding like a bloviating and boastful fool.

Nuff said.

2. 💯

[Boydog]

3. It's all in how it's done

It is safe to say the campaign never stops. 24/7 or it had BETTER not stop. I really think Biden needs a David Plouffe or someone of that caliber to run his political/PR stuff. Some of the people he has serving him are not doing a ver good job. There should be a strong pro Biden message to counter the shit from Fox.

[Boydog]

7. Wake up. We have to constantly compete with not only the garbage from Fox but Facebook Twitter and I

I hate to admit it but Trump has changed the landscape. The present administration needs to better promote the wonderful job Biden is doing and the progress he is leading or we and the country as a whole will pay the price.

[Boydog]

23. Polls may be for chumps but a large percentage of

Voters are chumps. If we lose the message battle we lose everything. We have to navigate the landscape as it is not as we wish it would be.

[Boydog]

32. You continue to talk about what's right for you.

That’s all well and good but you need to be considering what it takes to beat the Republicans.

5. You are right. He has performed a foreign policy miracle. He's the guy

behind the coalition helping Ukraine right now. Countries that bicker and disagree all the time. And he did it in record time, restoring the USA's ability to play that role after tfg blew up our international reputation.

And no one is talking about that. The rank and file republiQan voter has no idea that happened.

Our lack of professionally created and coordinated public relations is our greatest failing.

[Boydog]

6. Who is to blame for that

[Scrivener7]

8. I don't know. But it is a problem we Democrats have at every level.

I believe the entities that craft those messages that you always see republiQans spouting in unison in every media source are privately funded think tanks, though I am not sure about that.

I would think the national and local Democratic Campaign Committees should be the groups that recruit and organize them.

29. Because dems aren't talking about as a collective, I posted about this earlier (link)

10. It is all dictated by media that has nothing good to say about his administration.

I still can't figure out why they rag on him so mercilessly unless it is because of their corporate masters.

31. Media is just a part of it, our message mechanics have to be better in flooding message zones

12. I am proud of him!

Thank god we have a real leader during this Putin turmoil.

[Boydog]

34. I am extremely proud of him. I think the DOJ could help

him greatly by stepping up publicly and indicating that they are going to hold Trump and his inner circle accountable and that they are under DOJ investigation. We don’t need Neville Chamberlain as AG.

14. We may think he is doing a good job and

If he wants to get out in front of the nonpartisan political games in D.C., do what the other guy did...no not go play golf....just start writing a ton of E.O.s and let the cards fall where they may?

[Boydog]

24. Interviews plus a large wave of TV spots lauding accomplishments

and a flood of spots on social media. This is a campaign and has to be viewed as such.

30. Yes, I posted something similar (link)

18. He is. But he needs to keep every option on the table.

First, the positive.... He has united NATO and managed to keep this about Russia vs. Europe. That's brilliant.

But it was and is a mistake to tell the Russians that we would not consider military action even if he means it.

First, you never tell the bad guys what you are not going to do. It helps them make risk assessments. The Russians ALWAYS have to be considering how far they can go before provoking a response. And by saying we won't do it, we've given them a LOT more leeway.

Second, it's bullshit. There ARE circumstances we would enter the fight and he knows it.

If Russian troops were start public executions of Ukraine resistance fighters? If there were stacks of Ukrainian bodies? No way we'd just watch that happen and it's foolish to suggest we would.

[Happy Hoosier]

21. How is saying "we maintain all options" boxing yourself in?

It's easy enough to say that we are not deploying military forces NOW, but we maintain the right to do so if conditions on the ground change.

If you say up front "Nope, no troops. Not gonna happen," you've removed a worry from the bad guys' mind. That's not something you never want to do.

I mean, you are doing EXACTLY what Putin wants. You are worrying about what HE will do. You are not thinking about how to make him worry about what WE will do. We already told him what we will NOT do. How does that make any sense at all, strategically?

26. Joe Biden has done what we need American presidents to do
