It’s fantastic that this is being blamed on Conservatives before #ChinaJoe has even attempted any sort of reaching out
Any Biden effort to ‘reach out’ to conservatives is doomed
President-elect Joe Biden is not giving up on reaching out to the people who didn’t vote for him, even as most of them seem to believe he’s at the head of a plot to steal the election — and a significant portion believe he’s part of a global conspiracy of satanic, pedophile, cannibal, sex-traffickers.
Biden is determined, though, just as so many Democrats were before him. And like them, he’ll probably fail.
Bloomberg’s Jennifer Jacobs reports that the Biden White House will be making a particular point of reaching out:
The Biden administration plans to create a position to find common ground with conservatives, said Louisiana Congressman Cedric Richmond, a senior adviser and director of the Office of Public Engagement for the president-elect. (snip)
This is a never-ending obsession with Democrats. How can we get conservatives to like us more? Is there some special strategy we can deploy, or argument we can make, that will open their hearts and minds to what we have to say?
When has this ever happened? Obama made zero effort to garner support from Republicans/Conservatives. When have Democrats attempted to convince Republicans? And, seriously, why would we support their Stateist policies?
It’s reinforced by a media double standard: Reporters seldom bother to ask Republicans what they’re doing to reach out to the other side, because everyone knows the answer is “nothing.â€
Yeah, they never ask. Eye Roll. Usually they just oppose any Republican policy.
The truth is that Democrats reach out constantly. They hold forums to show they understand and care about rural issues. They support policies to give people in conservative states better health care and better education and more economic opportunities. They come up with plans to boost rural America. It doesn’t penetrate.
Well, yeah, we don’t want government control our lives and taking even more of our hard earned money. Go figure.
But Biden and Richmond should go ahead and try if they want. I’m sure that part of their theory — as it was for Barack Obama before them — is that even if your reaching out doesn’t accomplish much in the way of tangible benefits, at the very least it’s good to be seen reaching out, so you can say you tried in good faith.
Has Biden even attempted to reach out yet? Looking forward to the first time. And it will be the fault of you Darned Conservatives for failing to get on board with Modern Socialism.
