I don’t disagree, but I do think Biden wasn’t going to make it four more years of grinding Presidenting. He does seem like it’s best if he can relax a little.
I think that’s giving the media too much credit. The day of the debate I was honestly feeling optimistic – All Biden really needed to do was talk sense and dunk on the guy who’d just become the first Presidential candidate to also become a convicted felon, and the rules had been set to cut Trump off at the knees by muting his mic when it wasn’t his turn to talk. The night should have been a cake walk, but instead Biden came off like a tired and confused old man.
The level of despair I felt the next morning cannot be understated – I even started to lay the groundwork to emigrate out of the US if necessary. Having Biden step aside and make way for someone more able to fight Trump is a desperately-needed breath of fresh air.
While there obviously are narratives in media, the Biden situation is very interesting to me. Biden is an 81 year-old man. The job he was in the running for is high stress and very important. The media reported on the obvious and completely understandable concerns that voters and politicians had with his candidacy. Given the enormous stakes for countries like mine, outside but influenced by the US, our media also reported on the very real confusion and concern that our citizens had. Trying to say it is some kind of hit job seems to massively oversimplify things.
Now that the media has gotten what they manufactured, they need to show why they were right all along.

2020 Biden was more than enough. Time is a b*tch.
