In public, President Biden and corporate America appear to oppose each other’s interests and blame each other for the economy’s problems.
In private, Biden and the business community have been ramping up collaboration, especially on infrastructure goals.
I added another article for you to comment on Mozz. Biden claiming he was VP during the pandemic.

See this is some solid propaganda. He clearly just fucked up because he’s old, and it’s hard to deny that that’s what happened, and it definitely makes him look silly.
It doesn’t have anything to do with his record, or what he’ll do with another 4 years, or how terrifying the prospect of another Trump presidency would be – but I think hammering on this kind of thing will be effective. I think you should focus on this kind of stuff (and, the general “the economy is so so so bad” without even referencing Biden, and just trusting that people will connect the dots). I could see that being pretty impactful – definitely more so than making up things about people walking out of his Morehouse speech, or trying to imply he’s corporate-friendly which can lead to teeing people up to come in with “well akshually” and spread information about what he actually did.
I mean the economy for everyday Americans is horrible. Biden’s fault? Not all of it. Corporate greed and late stage capitalism is also to blame.
Yeah. That’s what makes it effective.
The fact that Biden’s been busting his ass trying to strengthen unions, and increasing wages even outpacing historic inflation which he didn’t do anything to cause, is certainly relevant. But, people feel the inflation every time they go for groceries, and things are still pretty grim, so it feels really weak-sauce for someone to try to come in when you’re talking about how bad it is and say “Yeah but Biden actually has been making it better, remember back when he took office when we were bailing out literally half of the country with weekly assistance checks” and then a bunch of charts. That’s slow, complex, and abstract, whereas “Bro I just know things fuckin SUCK, I spent like $200 at Von’s and no one’s helping me out anymore” is quick, simple, and can connect emotionally.
Like I say I definitely think you should be doing more of just emphasizing how bad things are. Oh! Also you can point out that the US military and State Dept (and ICE) under Biden are often a sinister force in the world. That’s another thing that it’s gonna be pretty hard for anyone to take any kind of disagreement with, and tangentially it makes Biden look bad because it implies that he was the one that invented it all.
