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.
How can Democrats improve their communication strategies to counter misinformation?
rhetorical fascism
aside from this, create a propaganda wing as big as the republicans, and make it accurate. Somehow.
What do you think CNN, The Atlantic, WaPo, ect are?
Corpratist, center right infotainment networks?
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.
Not thinking those are propaganda goes a long way to explaining your political delusions.
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.
Oh I get it you’re using a wrong definition of propaganda. Propaganda doesn’t mean lies.
When the Republicans control the House or Senate plus various major sources of disinformation disguised as news… not easily
The communication isn’t the problem. They communicated just fine. Increase taxes a little to send money to fight proxy wars overseas without drastically reducing any existing public saftey nets. Give money to companies saying they are seeking green alternatives as a way to reduce carbon emissions. That is the whole set of policies they have enacted.
Everything else they have to say is just that they won’t be awful. They won’t protect abortion, but they won’t get rid of it at least. They won’t increase the minimum wage, but they won’t try to bring back children in coal mines at least. They won’t help make it easier to form a union, but they are not going to actively break up existing ones. They won’t make it cheaper to own a house or decrease housing prices, but they will give everyone enough money they can get locked into that mortgage. They won’t pay for college, but at least they won’t defund public schools in favor of religious charter schools.
They didn’t lose by 2%, they lost by getting less than a third of America to vote for them. This was a crushing loss that shows they are out of touch with the needs of the American people. They won’t fix that by demonizing the voters. They have gone to the well of trying to get Americans to hate themselves for 16 years now and the well is dry.
