Living in a political echo chamber can be dangerous. It’s harmful all around. Constituents are being ignored. Some ideas aren’t allowed. The whole thing can be toxic. And then there’s the candidate facing an uphill battle to be elected to a second term. But the messaging coming out of the campaign doesn’t reflect the reality. Democrat news organizations only add to the ugly under current.
People in the campaign
Might see it and feel it but that needs to be kept close, regardless the articles. Axios wrote a blistering one about how Democrats were painting Biden as being too old and terribly out of touch, especially regarding Trump.
Biden’s closest allies seem to have their heads in the sand because the behavior continues. Axios thinks that “Senior Democrats, including some of President Biden’s aides, are increasingly dubious about his theory for victory in November, which relies on voter concerns about Jan. 6, political violence, democracy and Donald Trump’s character.”
If recent polling numbers mean anything though, those voter concerns are overblown. An attack on Trump said that Trump was only out for himself.
The campaign put out the ad
Biden said, “Donald Trump is only out for himself. I’m fighting for the American people.”
The problem is the campaign is holding onto a strategy that isn’t working. Axios noticed, “Several polls have indicated voters are deeply concerned about democracy but they are most worried about inflation and the economy.”
They’re digging in the wrong place. Inflation and the economy are front and center when people look at how much they pay for their groceries.
The campaign dealing with minorities
Trump is attracting minorities in droves. A Democrat strategist talked to Axios.
“It is unclear to many of us watching from the outside whether the president and his core team realize how dire the situation is right now, and whether they even have a plan to fix it. That’s scary.”
Someone else close to Biden suggested a state of totalitarianism. You don’t dare speak up. “Even for those close to the center, there is a hesitance to raise skepticism or doubt about the current path, for fear of being viewed as disloyal.”
