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.

    Iā€™m really sorry to hear that. Would it help if I showed you a graph that shows the stock market is actually doing great?

        Huh. Iā€™m generally wary of any group that has an Eye of Providence in their logo or uses the term, ā€œNew World Order,ā€ but that was cathartic to watch.

          unfortunately something like this is not posted by any other channel popular enough to come up on shitty youtube search.

          the guy in the video is jose vega, he ran for congress as lrp candidate in nyd 15 and got about 2.5% vote.

          here is more detailed video on a more apt channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XK0FivR_B1A

            Oh, haha, thatā€™s much more reassuring. I assumed it was someone affiliated in the channel, and I was like, ā€œUh-oh, how long before this guy launches into an antisemitic conspiracy theory about lizard people?ā€

              this made me realise how depressing it is when even lunatic channels have more relevant content for working class than our msm with 24/7 peddling of gaslighting bs.
