nine Posted May 30 Report Share Posted May 30 The nature of politics is such that there’s rarely a negotiation or compromise where both parties end up happy; in most cases, both parties come away unhappy and disappointed with the concessions they made. When both parties are equally unhappy with the outcome….that’s politics. Starkiller 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starkiller Posted May 30 Report Share Posted May 30 The good news for Biden politically is that the GOP can’t just back out of the deal and then blame him. He successfully negotiated a deal. If the GOP walks away from a deal they negotiated themselves then they will get the blame. Omar, IsntLifeFunny, and MadMax 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post begooode Posted May 30 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 30 Listening to GOP leadership and Biden masterminded the crime of the century with Voter Fraudz, followed it up by getting a shit ton of bipartisan legislation passed, locking in social security and now the latest budget negotiation -- all while being cognitively impaired, "obviously!". Good thing he's not on his game or the repubs would be in real trouble. OILERMAN, MadMax, Omar, and 4 others 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nine Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 4 hours ago, tgo said: Good article. Here's another excerpt.....this actually ties into our ongoing discussions around here about how Democrats tend to be terrible at messaging. This is not a president who does—who can do—powerful messaging. Joe Biden’s strengths and weaknesses are those of a workhorse senator. He can deal. He can keep lines of communication open to his fellow pols. He can’t use the powers of speech to reframe a debate or lift it to a higher level where his position becomes the obvious solution. Had he been so able, he might have gone on television to tell the nation why the very existence of the debt ceiling was an affront to both the Constitution and the nation’s standing. He would have laid out the reasons why he was inviting the Court to rule on it. But in his 50 years in the public eye, Biden has never delivered a speech with the power to alter the public’s understanding of a major issue. That wasn’t really a problem when he was a senator or even a vice president. It is, however, a genuinely limiting factor on his de facto powers as president. Speeches matter. https://prospect.org/blogs-and-newsletters/tap/2023-05-30-go-to-war-with-president-you-have/ IsntLifeFunny, and begooode 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctm Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 Biden negotiated the 2011 deal for Obama. The problem with that deal was that the US was coming out of a recession and the spending cuts were deeper. So the macro economic effect was to slow economic growth when the economy needed the opposite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
