Summary
President Joe Biden leaves office with a legacy of leading the U.S. out of the COVID-19 pandemic, advancing infrastructure, semiconductor manufacturing, clean energy, and rallying global support for Ukraine.
However, since live television’s rise more than half a century ago, the skills needed to run for president have diverged from those required to govern.
This led many voters to doubt his capability despite his achievements, forcing him to withdraw from the 2024 race.
Meanwhile, voters have been less critical of Donald Trump’s age, overlooking unpopular policies like tariffs that hurt farmers and manufacturing.
Many Republicans and independent voters accepted Trump’s false claims about the 2020 election being stolen and justified the January 6 Capitol attack, enabling his return to office.
The fact that the “situation in Israel” was apparently something to be ignored by both parties doesn’t make ignoring it okay.
Hand waving away genocide just tells the democrats they can keep prioritizing everything except what voters actually want. They are to blame for this fiasco and no one else.
It is literally their job during elections to get votes. Instead, thinking they had a home run, they offered the status quo with a side of dead children to appease their sponsors. What a joke.
They didn’t handwave it away, they funded it loudly and proudly
And Trump will double down on it.
