Star Member Poiuyt (16,560 posts)https://www.democraticunderground.com/100216190195How Democrats can keep Republicans out of power--snip--The first is to take credit for the significant accomplishments of the Biden administration and explain how these successes -- such as the fall infrastructure bill and the equally major March Covid-19 relief bill -- are making people's lives better. It may also be possible to pass some of the most popular component parts of the Build Back Better plan individually or piecemeal in 2022. Additionally, Democrats should tout nonlegislative accomplishments, including making vaccines cheaply and broadly available and, for the Democratic base, appointing and confirming 40 federal judges in Biden's first year in office.The Democratic Party must also continue to draw a contrast with the Republican Party. One way to do this is for Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to bring Build Back Better to the Senate floor for a vote. It will almost certainly be voted down, but this will force opponents of legislation that has many popular components to go on the record with their no votes.--snip--The key here is to remind voters of Democratic successes and goals while also asking them if they really want to go back to the chaos, dysfunction and bullying of the Trump era.Though historical precedent does not favor the president's party in the midterm elections, the stakes for American democracy are too high for the Democratic Party to go down without a fight. If voters see the midterm election as a simple referendum on a first-term president with a mixed record of success, that -- combined with redistricting in several states that favors Republicans -- all but guarantees a GOP victory. However, if the Democratic Party is to claim credit for its accomplishments and make the election about the threat represented by further GOP obstruction of Biden and a return to Trumpism, it may be able to avoid the worst outcome.

Star Member TheRealNorth (4,607 posts) 7. But doesn't Schumer decide when the Senate is in session?My point being is that we COULD do recess appointments for people the Republicans are holding up if Schumer went into recess.

Democrats have a problem with messenger mechanics not messages, we have a decent message... mechanics and getting those to mediums and flooding message zones with what is needed for the DNC is inadequate at best.In contrast the Republican party floods messages . mediums quickly and on message and does it efficiently.We need to copy that and beat their butts with it

Albert Einstein Once said: “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough”.
Name a significant accomplishment.
I love it when they think they've conceived some brilliant new strategy, and it's to do things they're already doing.
