A big thing here is that Biden talks about these things all the time. At some point you have to admit that a lot of supposed politics knowers aren't very aware of what POTUS does and says on a day-to-basis

I seriously wonder if it's a matter of having a wide-ranging platform. Trump was able to use Twitter to great effect, but that's not really there anymore, and I can't speak to Biden's TikTok presence. But also, he's not making himself that present in general.

I told my son that boys get hit in the face more with balls than girls do because they play more sports and he thought that was a very rude thing of me to say. And he’s six.

It actually depresses me we're seeing a small but loud cohort of lefties whose media environment is as bad as a Fox News conservative.

Or they do know, and/or they don't care. You don't get clout On Here by saying the establishment is doing good things.

As someone who is guilty of this, people thinking being on the social medias is the same as doing politics more than that is the case

This isn't not liking those statements, some of which I think could be fairly argued to be tooled more towards older voters! This is not fucking knowing what the president is saying while dispensing advice about what he should say

The kind of political comment wishing that politicians spoke about a certain issue is just wishing that speaking about it mattered.

The deeper point is that words alone very often accomplish absolutely nothing without a plan to ensure that audiences are listening, often meaning in this case a specific plan for content creators and influencers.

I guess being as uninformed as portions of voting populace you’re commenting about is a type of insight.

Yet another to add to the list: "I don't listen to/read anything the President says" is not the same as "the President doesn't talk about my issues"

They’re treating him like Trump, when he’s not anything like Trump. Those four years of constant Trump admin craziness created a model for headlines, that only works for one person. But because it made money these news media are still trying use it.

It's always fun to cite, for example, a speech made to union workers in April & then have the person demand to know why he hasn't talked about it since April. Like, he's not the Poster In Chief, & if he was he'd still piss you off, so wtf do you think you're accomplishing.

First of all, Biden is a huge bullshitter. Less of one than Trump of course (so is almost everybody), but people naturally ignore what he says. Second, political reporters are worthless. Third, Biden hides things he should be proud of and flaunts things he should be ashamed of. Inept.

Not only that, one of his signature bills addressed all these topics, some of them quite well. I’m contrasting that with Trump talking about Washington not owning slaves (?) and it really makes me feel like Trump has his finger on the pulse of American youth.

Very few people really bother to dig into the details of policy which is why Trump can get away with promising all kinds of outlandish bullshit without most people asking how he'd actually do it.
