mood around Biden feels like sports media re: the NE Patriots three weeks into 2018. Pats were coming off a Super Bowl loss where they couldn't stop a backup QB.
they lost w2 to a mid Jags team and w3 to hapless Detroit. ESPN and talk radio were cooking them.
Pats won the SB that year.
funny thing about it as a parallel is that in 2017 Pats also started miserably slow: blown out by KC w1, miracle to beat Texans w3, lost to Carolina w4. they'd started slow and made the Super Bowl as favorites the year before and nobody remembered somehow!
We did this entire cycle with Fetterman not two years ago, with a much closer to the election debate, complete with the same finger wags and scolds who were, of course, totally fucking wrong, and would have handed a Senate seat to Republicans
we wanna start with the dictatorial powers i say intern all pundits and their families in some camp in siberia where they have to break rocks instead of being layabouts empowered on the dime of wealthy people to sit around tossing opinions uninformed by anything but their own shriveled brains
It also feels like the early months of 2020 when they were writing Biden's political obituary because he had not won the first couple of primaries.
And even after he blew Bernie out of the water in SC they STILL kept pushing the BS that he couldn't win in November against Trump.
And then he did.
