I think what's being swatted down as "elite opinion" from NYT/Crooked types is actually the piercing of a bubble from below. Most voters haven't wanted Biden to run again for literally years.
81 million Biden Harris voters disagree. According to the Federal Election Commission that’s just over 51% of the popular vote. He holds the record for most votes ever won by a U.S. presidential candidate.
I think there’s a difference between the widespread longstanding belief that Biden’s too old and a sudden elite panic about how propping him up seems to have failed so now it’s time for smart people to pick a new winner in a brokered convention
If only there were a way for voters to register that. Like a primary election. Oh wait we had one and Biden crushed it. Also if most voters include Trump supporters that’s not a very useful metric.
I think there’s also some vicariousness(?) happening in the past few years. A lot of these elites are *also* very old and have also slowed down and are also defensive/insecure about retirement. I speculate that Joe faceplanting has their insecurity turned up to 11.
Nailed it. Thats why the paid appendages are scolding SO hard in the wake of the alarm, over the weekend. Complete and utter thoughts-become-things crisis of faith (and irrefutable assignment in their craven sellout class lol) desperation.
