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.

    Democrats need to be louder in blaming the people at fault. Harris should have been screaming about the economy Obama left Trump vs the economy Trump left Biden. She should have been screaming that from day 1!

      They wouldn’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 Left’s agenda. It’s sad, but it’s needed.

          What she needed was outrage at those responsible. Corporations.

          The DNC isn’t allowed to bite the hand that feeds them their funding

            So then more fascism it is. And Dem’s would rather stand by than stop it because even stopping it isn’t very profitable for their owners.

              Oh ya, the old addage that if conservatives can’t win elections they will abandon democracy not conservatism has an inverse.

              If capital won’t support the means for a liberal to win elections they will abandon victory before capital.

              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 don’t act like they didn’t try to warn us and do something about it

      They should have been screaming about it four years ago. Biden chose to take the high road and not talk about the previous administration.

        And Obama tried to take the high road too. And for 8 years republicans grew a huge population of people that learned to blame democrats for everything. Now it’s just second nature to most people to hate democrats.

          We’ve had like 25y of limp dick Dem moral high road at this point and it should be clear that this approach doesn’t sell to anyone except the educated minority. Guess what? The educated are a minority and you need a majority to win elections.

            It’s also trepidation at setting the precedent of holding representatives accountable.
