I try to stay out of intra-Democrat conflict these days, but Biden's defenders underestimate how his age has become a symbol, especially for younger voters, of not just how the party has failed but all institutions.
His refusal to budge validates Trump's "give up and give in" campaign message.
The fascist's best friend is cynicism. When good people believe "they're all corrupt anyway," they peace out of politics, allowing fascists to take over.
To win, Trump doesn't need to convince more people to vote for him. He just needs to convince them not to vote. Biden is helping.
It's not just that Biden is old. It's that the gerontocracy is understood by younger voters, for a good reason, as a form of corruption.
Not financial corruption, but still. Putting your ego needs in front of the country is a form of corruption. It's still greedy.
He won’t. It’ll be down to turnout and the GOP hasn’t even opened campaign offices in battlegound states yet, while the Democrats already have dozens up and running. They also haven’t fired all the people with experience.
