Summary
President Joe Bidenās economic achievementsālowering inflation, reducing gas prices, creating jobs, and boosting manufacturingāare 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, Bidenās approval ratings remain low, attributed to inflation backlash, weak communication, and a media landscape prone to misinformation.
Democrats face a āpropaganda problemā rather than a policy failure, with many voters likely to credit incoming President Trump for Bidenās accomplishments due to partisan messaging and social media dynamics.
ā¦no.
The DNC brain trust thought they could get away with ignoring an absolutely fucking HUGE part of their base. And they were fucking WRECKED for it.
Trump got just about the same number of votes as he did in the last election. Harris got 11M less votes than Biden got. ELEVEN. MILLION. PEOPLE. STAYED THE FUCK HOME. BECAUSE THEY SAW THE ESTABLISHMENT CIRCLEJERK. AND HARRIS FUCKING LEANED INTO IT. AND IGNORED THE VERY FUCKING REAL LIVED EXPERIENCE OF THE MIDDLE CLASS GETTING HOLLOWED OUT, AND THE LOWER CLASS CONTINUING TO GET CRUSHED TO DEATH.
And now we get to listen to pundits and DNC leadership and Biden admin people and Harris campaign people circlejerk themselves about how it wasnāt their fault, it was those goddamn progressives and the stupid Arab Americans who cared about Gaza too much.
Genuinely: fuck all the way off with that narrative. the Democratic Party snatched this defeat from the jaws of victory. There was a path to victory. They simply didnāt fucking take it.
The DNC is working for their rich donors and doing a pretty decent job for them. They shouldnāt act so surprised that people who arenāt benefiting from the economy donāt come out to support them.
Exactly, who thought it was a good idea to campaign with the fucking Cheneys???
they raised over a billion dollars to make it happenā¦ thatās just bad management
That too - how in the fuck is the campaign 20M in debt?
Nailed it
I dunno been a republican and democrat voter throughout my life. The dnc did the right thing time by pointing democracy itself was on the line
Apparently we have enough people in this country who simply cannot appreciate the rights we have.
A bunch of really dumb Americanare about to realize what truly was on the line this time around.
Youāre kinda missing the point of what Iām trying to say.
The total number of Trump voters barely moved. As a fraction of the total populace, it actually probably slightly decreased.
The total number of Democratic voters decreased by like 12%.
The DNC alienated their own base. People stayed home, and it made a difference.
Democraticy is on the line, so vote for the ruling party only. Or else you will get worse.
You see how maaaaaybe that was not a super stable platform? You might get an clue that people are angry and feel abandoned by the nation so that when running a campaign you should not TELL EVERYONE HOW GREAT IT IS!.
