Summary

President Joe Biden’s economic achievements—lowering inflation, reducing gas prices, creating jobs, and boosting manufacturing—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, Biden’s approval ratings remain low, attributed to inflation backlash, weak communication, and a media landscape prone to misinformation.

Democrats face a “propaganda problem” rather than a policy failure, with many voters likely to credit incoming President Trump for Biden’s accomplishments due to partisan messaging and social media dynamics.

    JFC. Can we stop being surprised that the electorate is full of fucking mentally defective degenerates? Can we not find our own charismatic person to fool the masses into voting our way (which is, ironically, in their benefit)? We have all the fucking actors, just get one to say populist shit. FFS.

        Yep, when the Republicans went mask off in 2016, the Dems followed suit. They’re no longer content with lying to us or selling us on vague ideas like hope and change. I thought it was refreshing, back when I thought people had the capacity to demand change.
