none of which have settled folks' fears or moved the conversation onwards.

The NYTimes has been running this plot line for years. Sad the rest of the press has mostly followed suit at the expense of no focus on the insanity of Trump.

Perhaps showing my ignorance here....if he wants to attack these head on and shut everyone up - he can go on Fox News and do a live interview. If Buttigieg can do it, why not a lively coherent Biden?

Isn't that due to people being paid to keep the conversation alive?

If you point out that people that are being stupid it works to move the conversation onward I have done it

normally think you're on point, but in this case it's like insisting Claudine Gay keep testifying before Congress

that points to a different problem—of negative press coverage—and the solution to that problem is extremely different to the problem of "is the candidate not physically or mentally capable."

“Folks” lol. The media has created a self fulfilling prophecy. If they applied the same standard to Trump he’d be long gone by now. This conversation is ridiculous.

Is that because the fears are well-founded, or do we agree the sky is falling if enough people shout it loud enough?

The conversation will never move forward because there is nothing on earth that motivates the nyt/politico/axios/etc types like "Dems in Disarray!" Trump really could go out and shoot someone on 5th Ave today and it would be on page A12

if people are extremely committed to having their concerns validated no matter what, then there's not much to can be done about that, but he _did_ in fact make public appearances after this

That kind of implies an unwillingness to have these “fears” settled or to change topics. At a certain point if he’s doing exactly what he *should* be doing we should be exploring why the press is hyperfixated on having this conversation rather than any of the important ones.

Looks like they will never be settled and won't be even if Biden actually leaves. Thats the issue. The stakes are so high that some people are in constant panic mode and just can't or won't stop.

Yeah - though that would suggest that Biden's *actual* condition is irrelevant to this.

Scripted events with teleprompters. He did not do any open press conferences or sit down interviews (yet - one is airing on Friday with Stephenopolous).

I think it would do Democrats well to really push on messaging of what the issues are and to elevate the stakes of many down-ballot races. It's not Biden vs Trump but rather Trumpers vs (*issue that you hold dear*) and you as a voter have an important say in that

Which suggests that those fears aren't actually grounded in a cogent, fact-based analysis.

I thought his response to the SC ruling was A+ but it basically got zero coverage and no analysis around “wow! The president was forceful, spoke clearly, etc…”
