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.
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 itās just second nature to most people to hate democrats.
Weāve had like 25y of limp dick Dem moral high road at this point and it should be clear that this approach doesnāt sell to anyone except the educated minority. Guess what? The educated are a minority and you need a majority to win elections.
Itās also trepidation at setting the precedent of holding representatives accountable.
