    More and more I’m convinced “Messaging” was by far the biggest shortcoming of Biden’s administration. They did or started so many things to benefit us all that they never got credit for

        They just aren’t good at messaging, period. It’s hard to believe how incompetent they are.

        Biden’s messaging on the economy was a total disaster. Trying to gaslight people into thinking the economy was great when their lived experience proved otherwise was never going to work. It made people distrust anything the Dems said and set Kamala up for failure as well.

        It’s especially stupid when the Dems never bothered to invest in their own media empire like the GOP did.

        It doesn’t matter whether inflation was biden’s fault or not, politics is mostly about people’s feelings.

        This is one of the reasons Kamala would have been great. Trump has demonstrated that even when the news hates you, being in the news is better than not being in the news. Can you imagine the attention Kamala would have gotten just for being a black woman? The right would have done her work for her.

    I’m trying to imagine the type of brainstems that would vote for Taco over Biden over a single issue like…checks notes…fentanyl.

    I mean…FFS. I’m sure they exist, and talking to them is probably just as infuriating as I imagine.
