…by itself lifted more people, including more children, above the poverty line with government assistance in a single year than any other piece of legislation enacted in more than 50 years.
Too old to be running for president? Sure. But somehow, this geriatric motherfucker has done more for child poverty than any other president in the last 50 years.
Biden has actually had a lot of successes, it’s just that people refuse to acknowledge them and one of the biggest faults of his campaign is focusing on “Bidenomics,” which has worked, but hasn’t really done much to help people with food costs or stretching their paycheck. What he really needs to focus on is the disastrous ruination of the country if trump ever gets back into any sort of public office. Because if that happens, america will not only no longer exist, no one in this country will survive at all.
It’s still a year out from election at this point. Right now he’s formally not running against Trump (properly he hasn’t even been nominated himself) so until the nominations are set it’s not helping anyone to effectively endorse a Trump nomination by running the campaign as though you already have a listed opponent. It’s a pretty well given, but treat it as if it’s not.
People have an exceptionally short attention span these days. Making a more generally economic policy framework as the message rather than speaking to specifics now allows them to leave the details until closer to the election when people have a better chance of taking note and remembering it for the next few weeks until they can vote and then go back to their regular lives.
At this point the population has become so polarized that all nuance is lost and people are just voting to keep the abomination that is the other site from utterly destroying the country.
I agree with your points. I just feel that focusing on economic policy when most people are mired in debt and feeling impoverished isn’t going to really help gin up Biden’s chances. He isn’t really the one responsible for inflation or the vast debt people are in, and in fact he’s tried to erase student debt with no help from republicans. But - I think people “tune out” economic statistics and only want to hear how their paycheck is going to be bolstered. And for some reason they think trump can fix that - even though he actually will only make things much much MUCH worse.
I don’t care if they’re excited or not, they need to do their civic duty and vote for the candidate that will be best for the country. I don’t need you to fall in love, I need you to do your job.
If you want to get people excited about Joe as a candidate, you might want to stop couching your endorsements in “buts.” Just sayin’
Right?
Like thank god for the American Rescue Plan that…checks notes…
