The big problem with the State of the Union speech was that instead of speaking to the whole country about the whole country, it focused on speaking to his own choir about himself and his reelection.

That's why people are criticizing it as a campaign speech.

If you're a Biden supporter, realize that the speech did not invite non-supporters, including independents, to join in his efforts. It appealed only to those already on board, which is not productive in terms of actually getting those efforts done.

In other words, if you're in favor of what Biden was calling for, you too should be critical that this won't help get those things done.

The speech seemed focused on helping nobody... except Joe Biden's personal reelection.

Oof, I just realized i forgot to hashtag USPolitics, which I always try to do to help people filter that out of their own timelines.

My apologies to anyone who sees my post but was trying to avoid politics on their feeds! I completely understand that position!
