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.
Democracy seems to be crumbling pretty hard to shitty education systems combined with heavy propaganda and misinformation. I’ve been trying to think of a solution that still allows a proper resilient democratic system to thrive, but I’m not sure one exists.
There’s likely no 1 magic solution… it’ll take multiple fronts: education, community-building, better(less misinformation) social media…
