Friends, it is important to know that millions of rank and file Democrats are concerned about Biden’s health and/or his ability to beat Trump. Accusing them of wanting a Trump victory is neither accurate nor honest. We have to be the party where people can freely express concerns about Biden — otherwise, we risk degenerating into the current Republican situation, where all dissent has been quashed. 1/
As I have said before, my only interest in the upcoming federal elections is in Democrats holding the White House and Senate and, if at all possible, taking the House. My nightmare is a Republican trifecta at the federal level. None of us can know today the best way to produce the best outcome and avert the worst. Many of us are anxious and afraid. Some crave a certainty that is impossible to achieve until we have the election and winners are inaugurated. Understandable, but impossible. 2/
We have to be able to talk to each other, here and elsewhere, without unduly exacerbating each other’s vulnerabilities, anger, and fears regarding American politics at this particularly difficult juncture. I am grateful to those who clearly make an effort to respond in a measured way to those who differ from them in their assessments of Biden’s health and abilities. I am trying to absorb a wide range of views on these matters. I invite you to join me in this effort. 3/

What confuses me is how fully the narrative of "Biden's disastrous debate performance" has taken hold. I didn't watch the debate, but I read much of the transcript and many descriptions of the debate, and I don't see anything disastrous other than Trump's continuous falsehoods with no fact-checking from the venue. If Biden had spent all his time fact-checking Trump, he would be criticized for not putting forward a positive vision! Why do people think a quiet voice is a disaster?
@tawtovo @heidilifeldman
It's political technology that has learned to create public opinions using social media along with a few crooked media outlets and a bunch of complicit useful idiot ones that has convinced so many people that Biden lost that debate imo.
@GreenFire @tawtovo @heidilifeldman
Biden did not lose debate. He showed faint voice, lost gaze, incoherent rebuttals. His lisp did not help. His policy was supreme but was not audible
@Hash @GreenFire @tawtovo @heidilifeldman The covert successes of humble President Biden & his team, publicly not screamingly sold like DOA Trump "products", are, where they belong: In the hands & homes of the American people!
