Remember folks — this is an opinion piece, it is not news.
The reason you may hear more news about Biden being unfit for office than Trump being unfit is in large part because many Dems are calling for Biden to step aside, and it is newsworthy that a candidate faces calls from his own party.
The GOP is not widely calling for Trump to step down.
And the reason many Dems are calling for him to step aside is because of the snowballing effort of the media to push this story.
I’m not going to argue he’s not old, or too old to be president - I had that opinion four years ago. As is Trump too old to be president.
What’s insane to me is that there’s no counter argument. There are no stories about all the accomplishments his administration has had. How incredibly productive he’s been and how much better off this country is today than it was four years ago. The News is not reporting the news - they’re reporting speculation. All I see is people complaining about the economy and immigration while no one is pointing out what Biden has done, or has tried to do, to help these matters. The only image they have is of an old man stammering over the course of two hours out of three years.
It’s reasonable to assume that most Americans have no clue what the Biden administration has accomplished because the news rarely reports it. And now, in a moment when a wave of opposition is building, you’d think someone - the media, members of congress, Harris, Obama - would make an effort to defend the guy and at least offer some tangible, verifiable actions taken in the past three years.
Here’s a few of the first results I found…
I read a few pieces saying some political journalists will retire if Trump becomes president, simply because covering him was so exhausting and stressful. I imagine many are still sick of it, and think covering him just gives him more attention anyway.
It’s crazy that for something so important the dems are handling it as if they had no plan. Donald Trump should be the absolute easiest possible competition for their candidate to beat. It’s like they learned nothing from 2008 and the energy around Obama. We need younger candidates who can communicate to the public well. Better policy means nothing to most swing voters if it can’t be communicated effectively.
