Summary
President Joe Bidenās economic achievementsālowering inflation, reducing gas prices, creating jobs, and boosting manufacturingāare 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, Bidenās approval ratings remain low, attributed to inflation backlash, weak communication, and a media landscape prone to misinformation.
Democrats face a āpropaganda problemā rather than a policy failure, with many voters likely to credit incoming President Trump for Bidenās accomplishments due to partisan messaging and social media dynamics.
Hence, Democrats suck a propaganda.
They should field and finance their own radio jockeys and be flooding the airways with their own counter messages, but instead theyāve abandoned that terrain to the right and now are paying for it.
Something that piece of shit David Frum said on his Twitter once regarding the rightwing/leftwing media system was āthe left is awash with talent but has no funding while thr right is awash with funding but has no talentā.
Kamala had a billion dollars. Progressives have a deep ecosystem of independent media that establishment Democrats undermine at every opportunity. Democrats were hand in hand with Republicans in pushing social media āreformsā that today promote media like FOX News as trustworthy over progressive media sources. The Democrats create their own weakness.
Conservative messaging wins propaganda battles because itās simple. Democrats canāt use the same tactics, because theyāll be less effective no matter what. Preventing consolidation of media and monopolization of media would be more effective, since itās a centrally coordinated effort. Or just preventing anybody from having enough money that theyād even have the ability to do that.
