People have no idea what Joe has done.

One of the reasons for his low approval rating, IMO. I run into it all the time. "Biden hasn't done a damn thing." I counter with a list of what he has done, and the response is usually incredulity. "I didn't know that." Because they don't. Lots of reasons for that. Joe's people have not gotten the word out. Dems have not gotten the word out. All the media wants to talk about is "Joe is old." Of course people think Joe's too old to be president: that's all they've heard for years. The media's not going to change. They will continue to insist Joe is too old, so the onus really is on democrats to do it themselves.

2. Much of the media has been ignoring Biden's achievements through his term.

I'm being generous.

And now that they are all over him about the debate, he's touting his achievements every time he gets the opportunity.
He had been doing it in his speeches and on social media prior to all of this.

Now that he's using the focus on him to remind people of what he and his administration have done they are putting out the narrative that he's talking about the past.

It's fucking insane. They do not give a shit about our democracy, about women, about minorities, about guns, about children.... about any of it.

It's been stunning what he's got done to help regular people and the results are staggering.
