The fight against rising prices has essentially been won. But few in the electorate seem aware.

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.

    Voters have shifted right because they’re hurting

    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
