You don’t have to pretend that the press actually believes that Biden’s age, memory or trustworthiness with classified documents are actual issues

Those things should be issues. There should be half a dozen serious primary challengers running against Biden. There should be more than two parties with a chance of winning, and an electoral system that lets people vote for them without increasing the risk of their worst possible outcome.

But we don’t have any of that. We have a Biden/Trump rematch, so I’ll vote for Biden and drink a lot of whisky afterward.
