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.

      Your landlord is a republican.

      Or more specifically, your landlord is a property management company employed by venture capitalists who you just emboldened to get even shittier. And those VCs are conservatives.

      Enjoy your perceived victory against bad old uncle Joe…

        This sentiment is the most painful shit to read on here. Lots of “maybe they’ll learn” or “so sorry your party lost /s”. Do these people think Biden and Harris will suffer through the Trump presidency? They’re rich as fuck. It’s WE who will suffer, probably minorities getting the worst of it.

        Good job guys, you really showed 'em…
