It turns out misinformation did help decide the election: the misinformation coming from liberal pundits. They told Democratic Party leaders that voters who were unhappy with the economy were simply wrong.
Promising to be four more years of Biden was an astonishingly idiotic move.
And it’s not that Biden was an objectively terrible president. His administration did a lot of genuinely good things. But as you say, the Democrats completely failed to understand the degree to which the average voter is struggling.
“President Joe Biden will be remembered among the most consequential presidents in American history.”
He’ll also be remembered for his historically low approval ratings. Not even Trump dipped as low as Biden. And whether or not that rating is justified is irrelevant — those numbers matter when deciding what platform you’re going to run on.
It blows my mind that a candidate could looks at Biden’s numbers and then turn around and say they wouldn’t change anything. Literal insanity.
The entire DNC leadership needs to be shown the door and replaced with people who at the bare minimum know how to read a fucking graph.

It didn’t help that Democratic leadership seemed intent on sniffing their own farts.

“A Mount Rushmore kind of president of the United States.”
