Democrats are in a desperate state, knowing they’re about to get wiped out in November and they’re looking to cast blame.
Many, including more than two dozen lawmakers and political operatives, are talking and blowing the whistle on how bad they think Joe Biden is.
They don’t feel that Biden is doing enough to reflect their anger and concerns about things; they want strength and action. But they’re not seeing it.
“Biden’s response … seemed flat to many Democrats. And there is fear the piecemeal [gun safety] bill didn’t just sap momentum to continue addressing gun violence but was already giving cover to Republicans. Following the shooting, they worried that it was another lost opportunity to define the stakes of the upcoming midterms. … [Some Democrats] fear that Biden remains trapped in a prior age of political decorum and unquestioning fealty to institutions and has been slow to recognize both the existential threat felt by some of his supporters.”
CAMILLE RIVERA, a Democratic strategist at New Deal Strategies: “He’s missing the boat here. This is our time to dig in and be absolutely furious because these one-half measures are not working. He’s got a real excitability problem.”
SARAH LONGWELL, an anti-Trump and moderate GOP strategist: “You can’t just hold one press conference or give one speech. It’s constant communication. [Democrats] feel a sense of urgency. … ‘Talk to us. Tell us what the plan is.’”
Rivera continued, “The fight is for independents and Democrats to get up and fight back and come out. And he is not meeting the moment. He has to meet the moment.”
Their take is funny because Biden is frequently angry and always blaming other people, including Republicans. They’re making the wrong diagnosis of the problems. One of the problems is that he never takes responsibility for anything. That’s one of the things that Americans are upset about. But it’s hard to overcome just failing across the board on every policy, especially with the economy. Democratic officials are just noticing now that Biden comes across as half-dead and unable to muster up any energy to do anything? But they already knew that when they put him forward. It’s their fault. They bought this sinking ship and now they’re upset that they’re being done in by him, that people are rejecting the bad product that they were sold and blaming them for it. There’s only so much you can spin total failure.
I hope all you obiden supporters got what you wanted.
