Opinion | Voters punished Biden for problems he didn’t cause and effectively addressed - eviltoast
The fight against rising prices has essentially been won. But few in the electorate seem aware.

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.

      Inviting further genocide is not punishing him for the genocide. He didn’t play the strong man and step on a country America went and deeply intertwined itself in. So, instead, y’all held your smug, self-satisfied, fart sniffing noses high and let someonw who has championed the genocide take the reigns once more because yoh wrongly believe not touching the switch gets you out of the trolly problem.

        You know the democrats were going to kill them all too right?

        We weren’t inviting further genocide. We were begging the Democrats to change their stance and begging the public to choose another option if they didn’t.

        i get and agree with the sentiment that donald trump will be worse in relation to the unbridled support of genocidal israel

        but framing 40,000+ murders as “you haven’t seen shit yet” is inappropriately dismissive. we have fucking seen shit. have some empathy when you use other people’s suffering to justify your internet argument.

          Don’t both sides this issue. With Harris, this could have been de-escalated.

          So… yeah. We haven’t seen shit yet. Non voters just made things exponentially worse.
