Opinion | Voters punished Biden for problems he didn’t cause and effectively addressed

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.

So then more fascism it is. And Dem's would rather stand by than stop it because even stopping it isn't very profitable for their owners.

Oh ya, the old addage that if conservatives can't win elections they will abandon democracy not conservatism has an inverse.

If capital won't support the means for a liberal to win elections they will abandon victory before capital.

Dems are not standing by, they just ran a whole goddamn election. That they were/are bad at that is not in question. You can be mad at them all you want for losing but don't act like they didn't try to warn us and do something about it
