Gosh, I wish press releases like this weren't blatantly playing politics.
When we keep politics out of press releases like this, it helps bring people onboard who otherwise may get stuck because the person in an elected office isn't the person they voted for.
- jfengel 3y agoPeople don't often come onboard for the people they voted against. The people who issued that press release are well aware that they're not going to convince anybody who opposes the incumbent. It's about the opposite: reassuring his constituency that they are getting something. They need something that sits in their mind when they ask the question "What has this guy done for me lately?" It would be great if they could do it in a less blunt fashion; this is rather on-the-nose. But even a better press release isn't going to suddenly convince the President's opponents that they were wrong about him all along. The best he can hope for is to nudge them towards having higher priorities on election day than voting. It would also be great if I didn't have to talk about politics in this abstract fashion. But in the end a politician cannot accomplish the goals that they believe to be important if they don't win. I'd love it if the voters simply looked at their own priorities and chose the candidate who fit them, but rhetoric has been understood to be more important than policy since before Aristotle.
