Republicans complain about high gas prices. Then they vote against cracking down on price gouging at the pump. Republicans complain about the baby formula shortage. Then they vote against funding for baby formula. They dont want solutions, they want problems to campaign on.

(16,785 posts)1. Dems need to campaign on Republicans BEING the Problem.
Marginalize them as the party of NO SOLUTIONS. Let voters know that they are in the way of getting things done and blast them for complaining that NOTHING is getting done.

If they did, they would have a plan besides hate mongering.

So they can use the issue to buy votes.

Republicans complain about inflation. But do nothing to hold corporations with their record profits from being held accountable.
All I see and hear when reporters interview Republicans is their nonstop bitching about how Biden and Democrats are doing nothing to address these issues. Not ONE GD reporter ever has the balls to ask teh Republican in follow-up, "So, what tangible things are YOU doing to combat these issues?"
