Summary

President Joe Bidenā€™s economic achievementsā€”lowering inflation, reducing gas prices, creating jobs, and boosting manufacturingā€”are largely unrecognized by the public, despite his successes.

His tenure saw landmark legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act, CHIPS Act, and major infrastructure investments.

However, Bidenā€™s approval ratings remain low, attributed to inflation backlash, weak communication, and a media landscape prone to misinformation.

Democrats face a ā€œpropaganda problemā€ rather than a policy failure, with many voters likely to credit incoming President Trump for Bidenā€™s accomplishments due to partisan messaging and social media dynamics.

    They wouldnā€™t trust the messenger. We need to come to terms with the fact that a not so small group of people need fear to be motivated to believe anything.

    We need a rage baiting group of influencers pushing the Leftā€™s agenda. Itā€™s sad, but itā€™s needed.

      Fear was what they used. They used fear of Trump. Fear of democracy ending, etc.

      What she needed was outrage at those responsible. Corporations.

          So then more fascism it is. And Demā€™s would rather stand by than stop it because even stopping it isnā€™t very profitable for their owners.

            Dems are not standing by, they just ran a whole goddamn election. That they were/are bad at that is not in question. You can be mad at them all you want for losing but donā€™t act like they didnā€™t try to warn us and do something about it
