Summary

President Joe Bidenā€™s economic achievementsā€”lowering inflation, reducing gas prices, creating jobs, and boosting manufacturingā€”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, Bidenā€™s approval ratings remain low, attributed to inflation backlash, weak communication, and a media landscape prone to misinformation.

Democrats face a ā€œpropaganda problemā€ rather than a policy failure, with many voters likely to credit incoming President Trump for Bidenā€™s accomplishments due to partisan messaging and social media dynamics.

    You do not feel the consequences of good policy in your bones.

    I am certain this bit here is where we may just have to disagree my friend. It has been so long since we have had bones-deep good policy we have forgotten what that might feel like.

    Regardless, this is a lesson the DNC must learn, not you or i. All the 10 page excuses are meaningless if you first arenā€™t elected to push em, and thatā€™s where they are right now

      Yes indeed call me a skeptic, but I do not trust my bones (or any other body part thatā€™s not my brain). Bones and their feelings are the target of charlatans and populist (like Trump).
