the fact that columnists and anchors and journalists are all still obsessed with biden's age *now* should give you a lot of pause when considering whether they'd have stopped focusing on it if he'd dropped out, say, before the debate.

i have no idea whether biden bailing out earlier would have helped harris win, i do think it's possible, but one thing i'm sure of is that any dem going on the teevee to agree with the press that we should be the hairshirt party is not fit to lead the party into the future.

(they stress) not their failure, and at the same time point to such coverage as proof of their own superiority.
Not that it excuses the double standard w Trump being microwaved jello but I get why a lot of them are taking it personally. Coverup worse than crime effect.

Jake Tapper can go fellate a cactus.
I'm just so frustrated and annoyed that these shmucks are so.... I don't know. Distracted? Unengaed? Willfully ignorant?
They’re going to keep harping on his age long after he’s dead, the way they’re going

And now that Trump is President we're getting a deluge of positive economic stories the instant anything remotely positive occurs? Weird...
Removing one specific topic would've been a speedbump to this process at best.
And despite repeatedly, publicly taking responsibility, the media kept hammering her to take responsibility.
We know the press's playbook and I'm tired of it. Democrats are expected to bad mouth our own party before we can criticize the Republicans - every single time.
We need to teach Democrats the art of the pivot.
"You know, age is an important issue, and we see how Donald Trump is falling apart in real time on live TV, we see the harm Donald Trump is doing to our country..."
Pivot, fucker, pivot.
