We know about all the great things Dems do, the hard work President Biden and his staff have done over the past 4 years. I also think acknowledging that Independent and GOP voters see things differently than we do can go a long way in helping win those voters over (at least swing voters).
The best example I can give it, say you run into someone on the street who makes 35K a year, and they tell you "This economy is awful, I can barely afford my groceries" we spent the last couple years telling them "Well, the economy actually is pretty good, unemployment rates are at historic lows!" That doesn't change the fact that grocery prices have gone up 20 percent over the last four years, and they are barely holding it together.
A better response is to acknowledge that they're hurting, and explain that Biden and the Democrats want to go after companies that are price gouging to bring down costs, while Trump wants to apply tariffs that would cause prices to increase even more.
Our policies are a million times better, I think we need to find a way to message it better, and that means remembering that the people we're talking to, don't always have the same viewpoint we do.
