They don't want to win by deception or lies like Republicans. Which is good.

There is no need if they would ramp up other strategies. This 'good lies' is one strategy. Release good news. Every day there could have been a good news story from Biden. Even if its not really a big advancement but sounds good. Off the top of my head.....now there are 20.4 children receiving free lunches according to Google. When it reached the 20 million mark, a huge announcement could be made. And more importantly, evidence of its value, maybe bring on a successful adult who testifies how it saved her when they were young.

Its going out of their way to find something that day to release as "good news" for what they are doing. This could apply to many many issues.

The days of quietly ruling behind the white walls of the white house are over.

Still astounded that Biden's admin didn't make an even greater bluster when they managed to grow the US economy, after COVID, into the strongest in the world. Why not proclaim their own "liberation day"? Who cares if Fox News laughs at them. The message is out and can't be reversed.

I could go on. But the snubbing of AOC and her opinions of modernizing the Democratic communication methodologies, is confounding.
