In memos, private communications and interviews, Greenberg has been imploring the party to \u2014 let\u2019s put this bluntly \u2014 shut the hell up about all the work it\u2019s done. It\u2019s not that voters don\u2019t care. He says voters actively turn against Democrats when they hear it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s our worst performing message,\u201d Greenberg told West Wing Playbook. \u201cI\u2019ve tested it. I did Biden\u2019s exact words, his exact speech. And that\u2019s the test where we lost all of our leads\u2026 It said to the voters that this election is about my accomplishments as a leader and not about the challenges you\u2019re experiencing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Greenberg has some authority to speak to non-effective midterm messaging. He was <b>BILL CLINTON<\/b>\u2019s pollster leading up to the 1994 Democratic blood bath. He famously delivered a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/story\/2010\/11\/dem-strategists-obama-bungled-2010-045353\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scorcher of a post-mortem<\/a> that laid blame at the feet of <b>BARACK OBAMA <\/b>and his White House for midterm losses in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>This go-around, he\u2019s offering a pre-mortem of sorts, though similarly blistering.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m stunned about how much of the Democratic commentary is winging it,\u201d he said in an interview. &#8220;[Republicans are] hitting us on crime and border and inflation\u2026. That has huge power. And we have the self-satisfied message of how much we\u2019ve accomplished rather than being focused on what is happening to people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked if President <b>JOE BIDEN <\/b>himself had it right, he didn\u2019t flinch. \u201cNope,\u201d said Greenberg. \u201cI saw their visuals when they were campaigning with the West in which they were talking about helping families with high costs. So they\u2019ve made a turn with addressing it but they\u2019re also combining it with a message of how great a job they\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s remarks Friday, which took place after our interview with Greenberg, notably focused more on future battles over the debt ceiling, entitlement programs and which party is best situated to tackle inflation. He\u2019s also called recently for capping the price of insulin for kids and codifying abortion rights soon in the next Congress.<\/p>\n<p>Greenberg\u2019s advice for Democrats is not to completely ignore the legislation they\u2019ve passed, but to present it as useful remedies for tackling the problems of the future. Tout student debt relief and prescription drug price reforms, but only \u201cin the context of how it is helping them with the cost of living, not as a means of boasting about your accomplishments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For all his saltiness about the current state of his party\u2019s affairs, Greenberg is not entirely nihilistic about the upcoming election. He described himself as \u201cbearish\u201d but \u201ckeeping the door open\u201d to the possibility of a decent night for Democrats, citing intense polarization, the registration wave of women voters and <b>DONALD TRUMP<\/b>\u2019s lingering presence in the national conversation as factors that would undoubtedly help.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s amazing that this is a competitive election at all,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, though, Greenberg warns that Democrats need a new object to present voters rather than one that\u2019s done and dusted. And on that front, the data he\u2019s crunched for Democracy Corps, the firm he started with fellow Clinton strategist <b>JAMES CARVILLE<\/b>, shows an unambiguous winner: revive the expanded child tax credit.<\/p>\n<p>The policy, which provided $3,000 to $3,600 per child for families that made $150,000 per couple or $112,500 per single parent unit, had been a major component of Biden\u2019s Covid-relief package. But it lapsed and talks to renew it have completely stalled. Greenberg urged his fellow party members to push for reviving it in the next few weeks, even if it leads to pushback (<a href=\"https:\/\/newrepublic.com\/article\/166092\/child-tax-credit-weapon-inflation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">questionable as it may be<\/a>) that the policy is inflationary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re elites and live in a world of college educated voters who didn\u2019t have it as a lifeline. They think our own base responds to identity politics rather than economics,\u201d he said. \u201cIf your goal is to win an economic argument, go on \u2018Morning Joe.&#8217; If the goal is to win an election, look at the fucking data.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>MESSAGE US \u2014 <\/b>Are you<b> JAMIE KEENE<\/b>, deputy director of racial and economic justice?
