Biden's messaging...

[Septua]

Most all the pro-Biden critics continue to say he has a "messaging issue" or problem, all with different descriptions but not necessarily definitive input...

So, what the hell is he supposed to be saying that he isn't? That's not a rhetorical question. I'd like to hear some replies. TIA.

1. Yesterday, the NYT had an opinion headline that Biden was doing everything wrong.

The writer worked on Bill Clinton’s campaign and insisted that Biden had moved way left and needed to move back to the center and stop pushing policies for the left wing. I know I’m pretty far left in wanting universal healthcare, a fairer tax policy, more government regulations on drug costs and private equity in healthcare, but I think Biden is completely in the center. What am I missing?

4. The last thing he needs to do is...

...appeal to people with rightwing tendencies, they already have their candidate.

7. Bill Clinton's economic policies were neoliberal. They weren't the reason he was popular.

2. It is pure propaganda. The shitmaster of whatever his name is sitting in court where the topic this week was how he raw

dogged a porn star when his wife and infant son were home.
The fascist media is NOT on our side.
Look to the local elections that recently occurred. Democratic candidates massively over-perform even the ridiculousness of the fascists own polls. The misinformation has saturated everything corporate. Proceed accordingly for your news consumption.

3. Joe's not an ideologue or dogmatic.

He's a politician and pragmatist who knows how to generate votes and get elected.

He has two main issues and is playing them expertly.

1. Trump the man. He's letting the fathead destroy himself and has tons of evidence to prove. All those videos, tweets, rallies, crimes, and press conferences are available to prove his point that nobody should vote for an obvious crook, sociopath, liar, whiner, and vulgarian to be president.

2. Abortion rights. A sure winner for the Dems and sure loser for Trump and his cult.

Biden's smart and is going for the middle/centrist votes where elections are won. He's liberal enough for the left, moderate enough for the moderates, and will even win some Republicans who are sick of Trump or demand abortion rights.

5. Yes, his resistance to...

...stopping support for rightwing netanyahu is about as far-right as he needs to go.

6. The critics want him to say whatever they want to hear.

He is conveying basic "This is what people want" ideas.

The critics ain't "The People".
They are critics, and "know better than everyone else"

That is how we got:
The Edsel
Windows Vista
The Cybertruck
Boeing
Welfare for billionaires

more ...

8. The media has the messaging problem

not Joe. They report even his good deeds with a grin and snicker.

9. I believe he'll win the popular vote, again...

..if people get out and vote. A slim majority of the voter population votes Democrat. Dem candidates won the popular vote 6 of the last 8 elections. The swing states will decide the winner.
