The media predicted a recession for 18 mos, ran countless stories about the Afghanistan withdrawal that trump negotiated and would have expected in days, lots of stories about slippage with black and Hispanic voters that we didn’t really see much of in 2022, and then stories about Biden’s age.

As you and others encourage -- and I know to be critically important - - I am working hard to change the prevailing sentiment toward Biden and the Dems especially in regard to the economy. I would appreciate hearing from you about today's editorial in the Washington Post.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/09/09/federal-debt-deficit-chart/

I have already sent a letter to the editor pointing out how they failed to mention the damage Republicans have done by obstructing Congress, promoting chaos and instability in the US - leading to a downgrading of US credit rating. How else to counter this? Thank you.

Great ads! I think I see the hidden order in the chaos.....we’ll never be able to make the main conversation about Joe Biden’s impressive accomplishments because the media will continue to be addicted to the Donald Trump Circus/Soap Opera/Game Show/Reality Program......but if we just answer every goddamn question with, “That’s why I’m so excited by and proud of President Biden’s record investments in infrastructure, manufacturing, a local supply chain, and clean energy.....it’s created so many jobs we can’t even fill them all and it’s driving up wages and lowering healthcare costs!”, we can win over a few more inches of support....and every inch we gain lowers their support in equal measure.....doesn’t take very many inches to go from a squeaker to an ass kicking....we just need the discipline to focus on what’s great about Joe Biden and not get sucked into only talking about what’s terrible about MAGA.....it doesn’t need to be the whole conversation but we have to ensure that it is always “part” of the conversation 👍
