I don’t see it. Unless voters are really unenthusiastic about Biden that they stay home, how is anyone who could win the Republican nomination (like DeSantis) going to win the national election? Before abortion was this abstract wedge issue that Republicans would campaign on but never make any actual progress, and now that isn’t true anymore. Not to mention that none of these people are very likable outside of the Re…

Joe Biden is clearly declining health wise. Could he win again, absolutely. But he could also get worse quickly a few months before the election. Imagine debates where he can't remember anything. There are dems who want to replace him (Gavin Newsome so desperately) but no one with a possible future will risk taking him on. Biden approval ratings are low now: https://www.reuters.com/graphics/USA-BIDEN/POLL/nmopagnqapa…

Establishment media is so desperate to attack both Musk and DeSantis. Every story has to be negative that is the rule. Twitter represents a (one of many) threats to their control. DeSantis might be the strongest threat to Biden, so he must be attacked. Amusingly what unites Hillary and Trump is attacking DeSantis. His fatal flaw is probably the 6 week abortion ban he signed in Florida. That is an ultimate wedge issue…

Maybe they should to something positive to report.

BTW did DeSantis pay Twitter for that?

I guess they mean he’s old? I mean, compared to the last guy who was president he looks active, trim, lacks all the word salad, and healthy, but that’s a low bar to clear.

No he did not pay. Other candidates can have the same thing and hopefully will do it.

The right has been pushing Joe Biden having poor health / "crippling dementia" / probably also a pedophile ever since the last election. A bold move given how old, incoherent and creepy their guy was.

It's actually kind of sad. There are any number of legitimate criticisms they could make of Joe Biden but their mentality is firmly entrenched in the infantile mode of 4chan and Reddit shitposters, and the best they can do is "ew, look at how gross and old he is."

The left is pointing and laughing at this instead of listening to the arguments their adversary is making. The man knows his rhetoric and is making a play for disgruntled ex-democrats.

The argument is that basic human decency is "woke". Did I get the gist of it?
