Opinion | Voters punished Biden for problems he didn’t cause and effectively addressed - eviltoast

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.

    It’s high time the Dems stooped to this level. That and promote ragebait podcasts pushing their agenda. It’s sad, but you can’t argue with the results.

      So many of the problems Dems want to address are so easy to sell too. It’s like they don’t actually want to win or achieve anything, they’re content to be a permanent minority opposition party that continues fundraising and campaigning ad infinitum.
