Harping on Biden’s age is bullshit considering his opponent is also a decrepit geriatric. Biden cannot make himself younger.
Criticism of Biden for his positions is perfectly valid. He can change those.
Maybe the DNC and Biden’s campaign people should pull their heads out of their asses. They’re moving in the right direction lately, but there’s still a long way to go.
I mean, it’s a bit of both. Biden and his campaign are a bunch of fucking dinosaurs who are not exactly ‘with it’, or even conscious that it’s not the 1980s anymore; but much of the media is also cheerfully playing up Biden’s shortcomings to a ridiculous degree because they want a horse race to get them more views.
the problem isn’t the critical treatment of biden really. it’s the total double standard when it’s compared with trump then, trump now, and republicans in general. the political press is obviously treating the entire gop to a lower level of scrutiny than they are democrats. it’s been that way since the advent of fox news. I don’t think this is a coincidence.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Tara Setmayer, a senior adviser to the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump group, said: “Commiseration is not a strategy and Democrats need to stop throwing political temper tantrums and do the work to unify and get Joe Biden re-elected.
Now resentment is focused on the supreme court and the attorney general, Merrick Garland, for dragging their feet on holding Trump accountable for his role in the 6 January 2021 attack on the US Capitol.
A justice department case alleging that he sought to overturn the 2020 election, which had been due to begin this week, was postponed until the supreme court rules on whether he is immune from prosecution.
That means the case likely to start first is one in New York relating to Trump paying hush money to an adult film star during the 2016 election campaign, widely portrayed in the media as the weakest of the four.
Cable news networks have drastically reduced their live coverage of Trump’s speeches, although some commentators warn that the pendulum has swung too far in the opposite direction, contending that voters need to see his unhinged antics, verbal gaffes and extremist agenda.
Henry Olsen, a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center thinktank in Washington, observed: “The Democrats have wanted to use every trick in the book to defeat or unseat or stop Trump since 2016 and nothing has changed in that respect.

It’s never a distraction, that’s not a thing that happens
