Two presidents have never debated before. And neither of these two presidents has debated anyone in almost four years — not since the last time they faced each other.
So why doesn’t Biden talk about what he’s going to do to help people?
I’m reading a book titled “Hit 'Em Where It Hurts” that explains why this this doesn’t work anymore. Basically, and contrary to you, not everyone knows that Biden isn’t Trump. Often these low-information voters just catch whatever vibes they happen to come across since they’re generally uninterested in politics.
So, imagine you’re one of these people.
From the Republicans you’ll hear, “Biden and the radical leftists want turn your kids away, make you pay more for energy, raise your taxes, and strip you off your freedom! They can’t be allowed to continue with their dangerous agenda that rips the future from patriots like you!”
From Democrats, if they focus on what they’ll do to help, “We’re going to forgive student loans, make the wealthy pay their fair share, and do more to invest in under-served communities. We want everybody to have a real shot at thy American Dream.”
Which do you think is more convincing? It does not help that Republicans have a massive media infrastructure that repeats their political messages while Democrats don’t.
The book I’m reading suggests using the Republican strategy against them. After all, it’s proven to be effective for Democrats (remember the Red Wave in 2022 that never was). And emphasizing the threat of the Republican party to American democracy is just true.
