would not have won over swing voters. I get the stiff upper lip stuff, its what a family member of mine believes and she was devastated when Biden finally bowed out. But after that debate performance, there was just no way. I knew lifelong Dems who said they wouldnt vote for him then.
Blanket statements hating on the media are not helpful. Trump would love nothing more than for everyone to turn on the press. Whats your specific gripe? Too much free airtime for Trump? (Fair to say of cable.) Sanewashing Trump? (Depends on the outlet.) Cowardly billionaire owners meddling? (Yes.) But the media is not a monolith.
Party insiders actually tried to keep the media from asking tough questions about Bidens condition. Collaborating in the fiction that Biden was better than ever did no one any favors in the end. You can argue that Harris still would have lost, but you cant seriously claim Biden gave her enough time.
