The Real Problem with Biden’s Age

in #news3 months ago

Kamala’s problem is not with the undecided voters, it is with Democratic voters. How can they believe her after such malarkey? Indeed, it was only a week before the debate the White House was claiming video of Biden wandering off and/or falling down was the result of nefarious editing and visual trickery (that line of argument dissipated quickly post-debate.)

My own personal observations are, of course, only anecdotal, however, it certainly seems to be true... Democrats, by and large, thought that all the reports and video out there of Biden stumbling over his words (or literally), losing his train of thought, etc. were completely made up. Or if not completely, then at least greatly exaggerated. As if all of those videos were doctored or somehow taken out of context or something. I suppose a few probably were but there were way too many. If you were only paying attention to those traditional mainstream media outlets, you never saw them anyway.

Because the traditional mainstream media did not generally report on this issue and indeed, always carefully selected clips to show Biden in the best light, this did not come to light (for most Democrats anyway) until the debate. It is harder to cover things up on live TV I suppose...at least for now. It makes me wonder why they even agreed to a debate but I suppose that bowing out would be just as much of an indicator. Other than bad health, it would be hard to come up with a valid excuse.

Now, after lying to the American people for years regarding Biden's deteriorating health (among other things), Kamala Harris is asking Americans to trust her. And somewhere close to half the country probably will. This despite the fact that Kamala Harris was not elected in a primary. Kamala is simply the appointed head of the DNC. While I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, I believe that this is the first time that there has been a candidate for either major party that was not elected in a primary. The first time in my lifetime anyway.

Sort:  

The Democrats I know can't seem to give me a reason why they support Harris beyond "it's her turn" and "orange man bad." It doesn't matter if I show articles from the last primary cycle where progressives criticised her on human rights and corporate ties. She is the anointed one now.
