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.

      When the Republicans control the House or Senate plus various major sources of disinformation disguised as news… not easily

          not propaganda wings. The left is too critical of itself. CNN is owned by a right winger, WaPo is owned by bezos. The Atlantic i have no idea, that might not even be US based.

              find me ANY credible examples of it being propaganda. I’ll wait.

              With fox news i can at least point to the dominion case, which is clear evidence of propaganda, and most right wing news sources parroting the same debunked, factually untrue claims.

                  propaganda isn’t truth either.

                  Republican propaganda just happens to be lies 99% of the time. And it works. Very very well. Propaganda outside of that is literally just shit like rosie the riveter. In which case it’s not really damaging. Otherwise it would be a lie, because it would be factually untrue, and therefore damaging.

                  The propaganda you are alluding to here is people patting themselves on the back, a little bit too generously. The propaganda i am referring to is on the same level of the nazi propaganda machine.
