30. "Biden's challenge is to bang the drum on his real economic accomplishes"
Mon Sep 11, 2023, 10:49 AM
Sep 2023

He HAS been but it is barely covered by the M$M or has been drowned out by 45 and his cabal's criminality or by natural disaster reporting, or mass-shooting news (and there has been a lot of all of that recently).

And when it is posted about or reported, the eyerolling starts, even here on DU. I have tried to even post his live video speeches that are done at various locations around the country touting the jobs - and particularly what is happening with both the BIB (Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill) and IRA (Inflation Reduction Act), e.g., the latest in the U.S. on Labor Day with a speech in front of a union here in Philly, and it barely got any replies.

Every chance they can, the President, VP, and cabinet have been doing pressers around the country and posting on social media like "X" (tweets) regarding the accomplishments - particularly when economic reports come out (that I also post weekly when I can).

Ignored.

The same thing happened under Obama when "the list" was posted over and over and summarily ridiculed, dismissed, or ignored.

Being in PA, a swing state, I *have* seen the multitude of Biden commercials, including his own and 2 PACs (Future Forward & Emily's list) - at least on MSNBC. I know they usually target these to certain locales and often show a variety depending on the market. But it seems that doesn't "count".

Right now, in response to the overwhelming criminality of 45, the media have decided to promote a "narrative" that introduces and magnifies "FUD" (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) to bring Biden down to 45's level. And when you have "push polling", introducing controversial and unproven allegations to the poll questions (i.e., "Hunter Biden" that was prominent in that CNN poll), then that serves to actually "introduce" a polling population to a false storyline that then sows "doubt", because most people are not doing deep dives into politics, and rely on the "news media" to tell them what is going on.
