This podcast was a gut punch but was necessary. Ignoring the reality of where Biden's campaign currently is can only bring disaster (i.e., the return of the Mad Orange King). Whether we like it or not, the debate debacle did real damage to Biden's candidacy. Of course all Never Trumpers (like me) will vote for Biden if he remains the candidate, but the election will be decided by maybe 100,000 low to no information voters in a few swing states. These voters are largely of the view that Biden is too old for the job. You can't convince them with the usual "Trump is bad, Trump is a criminal blah blah" arguments no matter how valid those arguments are. These voters are not Ivy League educated political addicts like Biden's aides, or high information voters like Bulwark listeners. Biden needs to reach them with simple messages, like: "I had a bad night, but I can do the job physically and mentally" the way he temporarily conveyed that message at the State of the Union address, AND THEN ACTUALLY DEMONSTRATING THAT THIS MESSAGE IS TRUE! Maybe it won't work, but without that I fear Biden is doomed, and so are we.
