    The economy was doing well, but as we see in these comments that it’s tough to communicate things like

    • inflation is back near normal: all the increases since Covid suck, but prices shouldn’t increase that fast anymore
    • businesses and stock market doing well, even though we’re not republicans
    • working hard to contain avian flu, even if it means eggs will be expensive for a few years
    • huge investments in bringing manufacturing back to the US. Factories being built. So many new jobs … in a few years
    • huge investments to bring back new technology leadership we threw away. Factories and labs being built. So many new jobs … in a few years
    • finally making good progress limiting carbon emissions. Avoid the worst parts of climate change
    • huge investments in rebuilding ancient falling apart infrastructure, we can’t keep putting it off … even if it likely wouldn’t actually fail in our term
    • great international cooperation toward peace and security
    • saving literally millions of lives of the poorest humans, saving untold misery, devastation from disease, starvation, abject poverty
    • improving health care coverage for millions of Americans
    • first steps toward getting excessive educational inflation under control.
    • first steps toward rebuilding a network of intercity rail connecting us all
    • and many more

    Yet this is already a wall of text many would ignore
