It seems Biden likes to make things happen withiut making a big deal about it, because in a perfect world that sounds like a good thing. Just get stuff done!
But the Dems as a whole need to get better at messaging their victories so they get the credit, which I understand is hard when rage bait sells, but if nobody knows they can't counter the conservative lies.
The 4th estate is a wholly owned subsidiary of fascist inc these days. And facts don't sell. Just rage.
Good work shouldnt have to be shouted about, but well the hearts and minds of men are of questionable capacity for reason.
In this world, you are judged for what you do. If nobody knows what you did, nobody will vote for you. Instead they will vote for the loud mouthed orange peeled racist rapist. So, making your actions noticed is kind of a moral duty.
He tried to take victory laps. The problem is he tried to take one on the economy for several months in a row which led to people seeing him as disconnected and only working for the finance sector. His messaging has been absolute garbage this election cycle and if any one other than Trump was running we'd already be getting ready for the next Republican president.
