As 2022 approaches, all political eyes are on the midterm election. And with that, Democrats have decided it is time for President Joe Biden to take the gloves off and come out swining against Republicans.
Since the House passed the $1.2 trillion dollar infrastructure bill, Democrats have determined that the optics of bipartisanship is no longer needed and they want Biden to start going after Republicans for opposing his massive economy-busting spending agenda, and what they view is the GOP standing in the way of progress on things like COVID.
Democrats Want To Compare And Contrast
While Democrats want to portray Republicans as “getting in the way” of progress, former Obama Press Secretary Robert Gibbs says it is time for Democrats to lay out the contrast between Democrats and Republicans.
“The president is in an awkward position [because] to get things done outside of reconciliation will require Republicans. But sooner or later, Joe Biden has to make this more than a referendum on himself and his presidency and instead make this a stark choice between two very different ideas and philosophies. Contrast with Republicans’ positions will be central to having a chance in the 2022 midterms.”
The strategy seems to be not only to paint the GOP as being against the spending bill, which the CBO has estimated the true cost at $4.9 trillion, but to also portray Republicans as sidling up to the gas and oil industry and assisting them in “padding profits” and wanting higher gas and energy prices in an election yea
The fact that gas prices hovered around $2.17 nationally this time last year, and now are as high as $5 a gallon in places like California, might be a bit of a stretch for Democrats to pull off.

None of this is Biden's idea or doing. He's just a mouthpiece, a demented puppet reading....poorly...the words written for him by others. And when things get ugly enough he will be the scapegoat of the criminals truly responsible for all the evil happening. They will sacrifice him and find a new scapegoat. NOBODY truly running things and making decisions was actually elected and NONE of them can be held accountable through the normal processes.
