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.

    Democracy seems to be crumbling pretty hard to shitty education systems combined with heavy propaganda and misinformation. Iā€™ve been trying to think of a solution that still allows a proper resilient democratic system to thrive, but Iā€™m not sure one exists.

      Thereā€™s likely no 1 magic solutionā€¦ itā€™ll take multiple fronts: education, community-building, better(less misinformation) social mediaā€¦
