My point: LEAVE NO DOUBT. You cannot afford to hide your accomplishments. You must shout them from the rooftops. You must rise above the noise and lies. Not just, ā€œIā€™m Joe Biden and heā€™s a convicted felon.ā€ In 2024 thatā€™s not enough. COURT YOUR BLACK BASE!

In short: You mustnā€™t presume people are decent. You must challenge people to fight for DECENCY and democracy. Make the stakes personal to EVERYONE. Democracy depends on the decency in the hearts of each and everyone. Point to the past (civil rts) vs now (GOP). Elevate and energize electorate!

It is crucial that in Joe Biden you give people something to vote forā€”not just anti the Convicted Felon. That may be the difference between getting 10 percent more people off the couch who previously may have said, ā€œIā€™m not votingā€ versus those people staying rooted to the couch.

THREAD

REPEAT: To the @DNC @JoeBiden @BidenHQā€”DO NOT ONLY make this about ONE MAN. You must ALSO make this about THE WHOLE REPUBLICAN PARTY and their AUTHORITARIANISM. The Supreme Court, these GOP state legislaturesā€”ALL OF IT. I know you are institutionalists but the GOP MUST GO!

I get itā€”@JoeBiden is an institutionalist. But when you have an ENTIRE political party destroying US institutions you cannot afford to limit your attacks to just one person. Orange Thug is a SYMPTOM, not the CAUSE. The Republican Party has done damage to the US for 50 YEARS.

You must emphasize that Orange Thug is the ā€œlogicalā€ culmination of the last 50 YEARS of Republican Party policy and harms to the country. Thatā€™s the overview you must campaign on, @JoeBiden and @DNC, @BidenHQ!

It is important to talk about democracy versus dictatorshipā€”yes. But you must educate voters on how the Republicans AT LARGE are doing damage. I wouldnā€™t even say ā€œMAGA Republicansā€ā€”almost all Republicans are cruel. Point out how GOP Congress passed 27 bills in 2023.

You have to run a state-by-state race, @JoeBiden. By that I mean you must connect the dots for voters to all the damage REPUBLICANS AT LARGE are doing RIGHT NOW in many states. Make country-wide GOP harms a theme in every state you campaign in. Connect these dotsā€”educate voters.

Educating voters on what Republicans are doing to the U.S. at large will also help with down ballot races (state, local, federal)ā€”which benefits you, @JoeBiden, because you need Democrats controlling all branches of Federal government!

My overarching point isā€”that the @DNC, @JoeBiden , @BidenHQ must stop playing checkers and start playing CHESS. Look at and play THE LONG GAME strategy-wise. Democrats must do this. One thing Republicans do well (apart from fucking up the country) is play the long game strategy.

It is all well and good that @BidenHQ is running clips about Orange Thugā€™s gaffes and heinous behavior etc. Good enough. But you MUST also HAMMER HOME DAILY to ā€œpassiveā€ voters or otherwise ā€œcasualā€ observers YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS. Many people HAVE NO IDEA.

Biden-Harris Accomplishments So Far:

One of the reasons Hillary Clinton failed to win the electoral college in 2016 is that her campaign was run OH SO POORLY. (As was her 2008 campaign.) Her ā€˜16 campaign ran ads against Orange Thug morning, noon and nightā€”but didnā€™t sufficiently lay out why voters had to vote for HC.

The white political consultants controlling the money and deciding where it is spent in @JoeBidenā€™s campaign must direct MUCH MORE of that $ to spend in BLACK COMMUNITIES & outreach. Go into Black communities. Black folk are your strongest voting bloc. DONā€™T TAKE US FOR GRANTED!

popcornreel OP ,

The truly maddening thing is that @DNC, @JoeBiden are spending all this time going after white suburbanites and so-called ā€œswing votersā€ (and I think swing voters are an effing MEDIA MYTH) and not locking down BLACK VOTERS (95% of whom voted for JB in 2020.) Lock down your BASE!

popcornreel OP ,

President Biden and surrogates MUST visit different Black communities. @JoeBiden knows well that w/o Black voters heā€™d have LOST in 2020. There must be an aggressive push, appeal, LISTENING, and education. Tell Black voters what GOP are taking and what you & Dems are GIVING THEM.

I strongly believe @JoeBiden will win this general election in Nov and by near-landslide proportions. There is a lot of noise. Much corp news media noise. A lot of noise on social media. None of it is a surprise. The election wonā€™t be close. All Iā€™m saying is: LOCK IT DOWN, JOE!
