    The shooting changed no ones votes yet it completely demoralized the Dems to the point that their leadership think its over. The reason is they don’t know what to campaign on anymore. They’re too scared to run a negative campaign anymore. But they are also incapable of running any sort of positive campaign.

      That’s why Biden said he would try to put a cap on rent increases. It will never happen, but it gets people’s attention.

        Actually promising a better future is a better strategy than listing his ‘achievements’ IMO. Problem is everyone remembers how they didn’t get their 2k covid checks, or how their student loans weren’t forgiven.

            If you’re only response to voters not liking you is “well they’re just stupid” then you’re gonna loose. Thats how democracy works.

            On the issue of student loan debt the president theoretically has the power to cancel federal debt unilaterally, but Biden himself is opposed to doing it which is why he’s never done it. Same reason why there’s no planned parenthood clinics on federal land or anything like that.
