archive.today • Democratic Leaders Are More Optimistic About Biden 2024 Than Voters - The New York Times

“I’m looking at all the polling, and I’m amazed that it has so little to do with reality. [...] A big part of it is just pure ageism. The American people are prejudiced against old people.”

[...]

“It’s not just about which president can get through the day without tripping or stumbling over their words, which everybody is going to do, but which president is going to lead this country forward in a way that helps people solve problems and keeps American democracy intact.”

Amazing article. Took seven paragraphs to mention anything of material impact to the general public and even further into the second half of the article to expand on critiques of the Dem strategy (like trying to make this about Trump, not focusing enough on American's material needs). Just another example of the vapid political journalism of American.

The American media is only interested in trying to predict horse races happening months or even years ahead.
