President Joe Biden will tout his economic agenda in remarks Wednesday as he campaigns for a second term amid low polling numbers on his job performance and the direction of the country.

The president’s plan, which the White House dubbed “Bidenomics,” aims to “move beyond” the “trickle down” economic theory that it says disproportionately benefits the wealthy and big corporations through tax cuts while reducing investment in priorities such as infrastructure and education, and failing to protect market competition.

Tying his name to it seems like a bad idea. People opposed Obamacare because of the name; half the country gets off on hating Democrats mostly because of the color of the ticket. Calling it Bidenomics will only make it easier for the talking heads to shit on it.

@CMLVI @kuontom

Republicans will shit on Dem progress, no matter what it's called and people influenced by racism are a complete waste of the air they fucking breath.

Don't disagree, but we can be realistic about about a large portion of the voting populace. Saying they're a waste of breath doesn't prevent that bloc from voting

@CMLVI @kuontom The problem with them is you can't find that level of stupid with facts.

They are a waste of breath, space and resources. In fact, they counter progress.

But, surely you understand, there is no way they would ever vote for a sane candidate.
