Biden spent four years massively pro-union, the Inflation Reduction Act was massive and not marginal with the job creation all over, and his administration remembered that the Sherman and Clayton Acts exist and used them. They have been everything a good leftist could want.
We live in a post-truth world, and the massive media oligarchy is in full effect, driven by the editorial desires of the hyper-rich. Dems could run Jesus and lose, at this point.
Keep flogging the voters until morale improves, buddy. I'm sure it will stop failing for you soon.
That’s not propaganda, as much as it is the reality of human nature. When climate activists (with whom i am in violent agreement) stop letting utter pricks represent them everywhere, they might come closer to getting more people as allies. Strange, i know.
Everyone needs to read that post. 99% of Lemmy/Mastodon users do not know how incredibly highly self-selected they are for a level of tech engagement that is orders of magnitude beyond what the vast majority of people are willing to engage in.
Email has taken 25 years to get people that comfortable with it, and most folks either go with their ISP email, or one of 3 or 4 providers. Discord, you're already in the tech savvy population.
You have to pick a Mastodon server, before you know anything about anything. The acquisition funnel probably drops 90% of the people checking it out right there.
They did help people, and did it about as much as the government could. Almost 16m jobs created, 6m more than pre-pandemic.
The issue was inflation, but that was global, and the US did better than most of the rest of the industrialized world in that regard. It is a complicated truth vs simple lies: you figure out how to get Americans to listen to the one and not the other.
You mean the railroad workers? Did you stick around to listen to the end of the story? Where scant weeks afterward, his administration negotiated a contract for the workers that gave them more paid sick days than they were asking for.
Harris did... exactly that. That was a huge part of her messaging.
The GOP controls the storylines that the media runs along: "Kamala just isn't being specific about her policies" when she was robustly specific, and while Trump said absolutely zero specifics about anything and no one said a word about it.
The Dems have been putting workers first under Biden the whole time. Putting workers first more than any administration in decades. You guys just believe a bunch of bad press.
'Murica zealots who claim to love the Constitution have elected someone who wants to shred it. This is the darkest timeline.
Those founding fathers discovered they had a two party system immediately and did nothing to prevent it from being cemented in place.
