Just returned from Kauai HI, Infrastructure

Yes I am fortunate to be able to afford such a vacation, and I understand that many others are doing as well. But this is about Biden.
The Island has one main highway 2/3 of the way around and offshoot roads. The roads were almost all recently redone because of Biden's BBB bill. Even up in Waimea Canyon State Park. They were even redoing the road in front of our rental when we were there.
There are signs that say it is due to the "Bi-Partisan Infrastructure Bill." The improvement to getting around the Island is remarkable.

And I thought how Biden was trying to include everyone in these signs, when instead they should have said "Thank you President Biden"
Maybe the Democrats should take a page out of Trump's book, who takes credit for everything, whether he had anything to do with it or not, and proclaim what they accomplished rather than always trying to reach across the isle. The vote on the Bill was anything but non partisan.
Maybe if they did, Harris would be President.

…from the water, looking back at the pine trees on that white sand beach and those Jurassic Park mountains with their 3-4 waterfalls in the background.

The line on every sign “thank you President Biden” on a roadside sign every time ya drive past the construction site for 2-3-4 months…that’s marketing/campaigning. For the disengaged but still voting public, it creates a reflexive answer to the question “what have democrats ever done for me?”

Well…they did that bridge over there, fixed this road and added that new interchange over by bumf’ck raid. They don’t have to read or watch political tv…they just need to go about their daily life seeing, and being reminded, that democrats get shit done.

This whole f’ing mess is because TFG is a self enriching bastard who understands that everything he touches is marketing. Everything.
