Summary

President Joe Bidenā€™s economic achievementsā€”lowering inflation, reducing gas prices, creating jobs, and boosting manufacturingā€”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, Bidenā€™s approval ratings remain low, attributed to inflation backlash, weak communication, and a media landscape prone to misinformation.

Democrats face a ā€œpropaganda problemā€ rather than a policy failure, with many voters likely to credit incoming President Trump for Bidenā€™s accomplishments due to partisan messaging and social media dynamics.

    Basically every American I personally know lives paycheque-to-paycheque as megacorps move in to bleed them dry on every front.

      And people with exactly that mindset voted for Trump, despite his vowing to make everything worse with every single policy stance.

      • Raise your taxes while cutting for the Rich (AGAIN)

      • Tariffing many sectors and countries, making goods more expensive and destroying US manufacturing

          Actually no, Trump deported and convicted less than Obama and Biden. Trumpā€™s removal of holding time limitations for women and children and his removal of ICEā€™s criminal only focus meant resources were used up and almost always wasted.

          Trump is ineffective at everything he claims to be good for.

            Are we talking about what he did last time or what he said heā€™s going to do this time?

              His plans supposedly havenā€™t changed, just a repeat of last time but more and worse.

              He even already tried to overturn the election once before when he sent 84 fake electors to 7 states in 2020.

              He has repeatedly told us he is going to do everything he did before, again.
