    Of course they can't because it's just an influence tactic to make blacks feel they should turn to Republicans.

    But Dems are too overtaken with their progressive side and do need to focus on what appeals to the middle of the country more.

    This is not good for Democrats and the Biden Administration. More reason why this isn't a "Wag the Dog" situation.

    This is a really a situation with little upside for Biden but it's not something that can just be ignored.

    How would you message better?

    I agree it needs to be top line but how do you make people actually pay attention because I hear elected officials say stuff like this all the time on the news shows, but nobody actually pays attention to it.

    I do agree that the main problem is that there is no unified message, and most of the democratic factions want to be the loudest voices and talk about how democrats have not done enough instead of the good that they have done.

    Squad member to deliver response to Biden SOTU
    Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib will give the speech on behalf of the left-wing group Working Families Party.

    A member of the liberal “Squad” is delivering a formal response to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address Tuesday.

    In the speech, given on behalf of the left-wing group Working Families Party, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) is expected to hammer moderate Democrats who have stymied Biden’s social spending and climate change package.

    Tlaib will praise Biden’s stimulus bill and make the case that liberals have pushed aggressively for his agenda, according to a summary of her remarks shared exclusively with POLITICO. She is also planning to argue that Republicans and a handful of intransigent Democrats have blocked progress on lowering the cost of housing, health care and prescription drugs.

    The speech will put on display the deep rifts within the Democratic Party that have marked Biden’s presidency. Months ahead of the daunting midterm election, many Democrats are looking to put aside those differences in order to present a united front against Republicans. But the left sees an opportunity in this year’s primaries to elect a more liberal Democratic majority to Congress.

    I thought clicking that headline was going to lead to the Onion. This sounds less than productive.

    Politico. And they do not appear to think it is particularly helpful to the Dems at this current time, either.

    And you seem proud of that for some reason?

    At least you admitted to being a troll, congratulations, I guess?

    What is she really hoping to accomplish with this?

    I had forgotten about "The Squad" and now they want to try and gain attention again, I surprised AOC did not want in on this.

    After decades of lobbying, supporters say they have the votes in the House to pass a reparations bill

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/02/25/reparations-bill-congress-support/

    H.R. 40 would create a commission on reparations for Black Americans modeled on the process Japanese Americans went through to receive reparations for being imprisoned in internment camps during World War II.
