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.
“Am I out of touch? No, it’s the voters who are wrong”
Voters have shifted right because they’re hurting, and the Dems promised 4 more years of the same. Trump promised to remove the elites and actively tear the country they created apart. That’s why they voted for him. The fact that’s it’s a lie and they’re stupid to believe it doesn’t matter. Telling people the economy is doing great while they are poorer than they were 4 years ago pushes them away.
Liberals lost ~15 million former voters and handed America to a fascist dictator, and all they’ve done is blame the left and stick their head in the sand, as though the population didn’t just vote to tear the status quo apart. They did the same thing in 2016. They won’t get another chance, and they still don’t understand that.
I don’t believe this is the case.
The Democratic Party took many steps rightward in Harris’ campaign (border security, death penalty, cheney).
Trump barely increased his vote count from 2020, like mayyybe 40k more votes?
15 million Dem voters from 2020 didn’t vote at all this time rather more people voting R.
Leftist voices within the DNC spoke urgently and stridently about the DNCs need to listen to its left base more or face backlash.
You got it backwards, the DNC misread the people and shifted to the right of its own base
