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.

    Yeah, hence why I say that union leadership has to do some work here too.

    Iā€™ve worked with the machinists union during a statewide right to work ballot initiative to overturn the legislatures recently passed right to work bill.

    So much conversation about how ā€œwe have to strike out down!ā€ But at the same breath talk about voting Republican. Well thatā€™s what they did, killed right to work, elected more Republicans to the state legislature.

    Cue shocked Pikachu face when the people they voted in immediately submitted a bill to enact right to work.

    I mean what the fuck is union leadership doing at that point when you canā€™t get your own members to not fuck themselves over?
