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.

    You’re kinda missing the point of what I’m trying to say.

    The total number of Trump voters barely moved. As a fraction of the total populace, it actually probably slightly decreased.

    The total number of Democratic voters decreased by like 12%.

    The DNC alienated their own base. People stayed home, and it made a difference.
