Democrats need to start taking credit with no shame like Trump

I'm tired of our party passing great bills that help out out people in their lives and we're not getting credit for it. Trump is out here taking credit for shit he didn't even have anything to do with and people believe it, like the VA choice act.

I was looking at Biden's Social Security plan. He plans to boost the paychecks to SS recipients by quite a bit. If he does, then the SSA should mail out a letter to every SS recipient letting them know President Joe Biden has approved this additional money. We need to start boasting about the good stuff we do for people in this country. If Biden has to send letters out, then so be it. The population doesn't know a lot of the great things they enjoy is because of Democratic policies.

I hate when he gets credit for prison reform when it was the Dems who passed the bill....that’s the difference between Dems and Reps, when Obama was POTUS the reps wouldn’t pass anything meaningful if it made Obama look good. Dems on the other hand wants what is best for people so they won’t hold up bills that they agree with even if it benefits Trump

There should be a better way to do it than by sending out letters a la Cheetolini.

Having a press conference at 3pm is not sufficient. If you can think of a better way than by sending letters, feel free. We need to learn how to get our message across better.
