Those are losers, foreigners, and bots. Losers and foreigners existed during the Obama years, they just didn't post as much on social media. Most voters have better things to do than post hateful comments all day.
If the Dems are serious about winning, they need to nominate a strong person. Most Americans are drawn to strength, regardless of everything else. It makes them feel safe and taken care of. We think of Biden as weak because of his frail condition in 2024, the way he allowed his own party to kill BBB, and the way Netanyahu controlled him, but his public image in 2020 was very different.
I'm not really talking about physical strength or stamina or fitness. I'm talking about strength as a person, strength as a candidate. Biden's frailness was secondary to his inability to command respect, which the republicans definitely got a lot of mileage out of. Especially that debate, holy shit.
Now, JB is a strong guy, I just have a nagging fear of a Fetterman-style health episode at a very inopportune time. He's got time to throw Ozempic his weight and take some blood thinners to minimize the risk of strokes. I mean he's a billionaire he could hire the best wellness team money can buy to address the health issue.
