Yes. We just have to vote for him! Pretty simple really.
It is fascinating to me that the "Biden is in HUGE trouble in the election because of the debate" narrative is so unanimous in the media
In a way that "Trump is in HUGE trouble in the election because of his felonies" was not in any way
Even though from the tiny amount of polling that has apparently happened, the second one was a bigger deal to the electorate than the first one
Curious
That's because Republicans laid the groundwork that Democrats are attacking Trump in court, and their masses eat that shit up. On the other hand, Democrats laid groundwork that Biden is not too old, and then he pulled this. Democrats have egg on their face, and it sucks. I'd still rather vote for Weekend at Bernie's over House of Cards, which is giving Trump too much credit.
It’s not just republicans. Voters have been concerned about Biden’s age since 2020 but democratic leaders have been insisting it was fine anyway. The debate was the first time most voters saw Biden speaking at length in a non-scripted manner in a while, and it looked very not fine.
