Biden and Co talked down to the working class like Obama did black men and kept insisting we are not financially struggling. We are doing well and there's no reason to be concerned. He lied, we saw through the lie and his party lost

I completely agree. One of the things with the debate is I was like hey he should be pushing inflation right back in trumps face but jeez its also stupidity with folks. I mean we got a guy here saying he did nothing to fight price gouging.
People will never understand that if a president only gets 4 years, they are mainly working with the economy that the previous administration left them. So Trump's shit policies become Biden's failures. Biden's decent policies become Trump's wins. And if there is another election, all the ravages of these next four years will be blamed on the person who wins it.

Did Biden take on the illegal price gouging that Walmart and Target participated in during Covid? The thing that is directly causing Americans so much financial stress?
No it did not.
This is just another lie from the DNC blue dog propaganda machine trying to blame anything but itself for the loss.

To be fair, Trump is a complete disaster, but to claim that Biden did a decent job is a compete fabrication.

Except the genocide
We get it, Biden supported a genocide. As fucking if Trump would have done jack shit to prevent it.

The article doesn't mention any issues related to policy, which made a lot of people not vote for the democrats.
What he did do was miniscule. The only good thing that I can think of is some of the student loan forgiveness.
Opinion: discarded.
Biden wasn’t running
because trump and putin ran a very loud and constant disinformation campaign aimed at the rural/retired/inflation weary people that were the most vulnerable to it
As is historically the case in this country
Biden is going to be looked back upon extra fondly after the upcoming shit show we're about to go through.

Yep, exactly this. People kept acting like this was the worst economy ever, and, seriously....wtaf.
The inflation reduction act was such a great achievement they didn't even mention it by name in the campaign. All it did was make inflation worse now, and hopefully get some environmental benefits in the medium to long term. That's not a winning message.
I mean it's not great, but inflation did come way down right? As I said above it doesn't make up for the inflation that already happened which makes our dollars worth so much less.
