His ability to answer questions under the gun with 1 and 2-minute time limits at 9 at night while sick and jet-lagged is not a skill the presidency requires. His ability to consider all aspects, work with his team, find solutions, build coalitions, lead with morality and compassion, these are the things he has demonstrated over his term so far, and his success rate has been extraordinary.

Big Data. This still frustrates me that Cambridge Analytica - & Big Data, generally, was not stopped by the US Congress after 2016. Across the pond, Alexander Nix is no longer allowed to run any kind of similar business. The last time I read about him, he was working on the board of a company formed by Robert Mercer & hus daughter Rebecca and it was 'Big Data' & their influence in politics. Interestingly, last night on the BBC (night before our election) there was a panel of 3 or 4 people discussing political party social media tactics. They had at least a dozen phones from "planted voters" (ie they were research phones) and were discussing the different things different people were getting on their social media feeds. It wasn't great analysis, but at least it's been part of the discussion here... Mostly to make fun of political parties trying to get fans on TikTok, but still something of an acknowledgement that it IS an issue - people are all seeing different things. The media is complicit, especially in the US. We have quite specific laws about what mainstream media can say & when it can say things about elections. We also don't have tv ads. We have "This is a party political broadcast..." & then you get an ad about their policies and manifesto. The same things don't apply to social media. These are decent articles, although several years old now: www.vice.com/en_us/article/mg9vvn/how-our-likes-helped-trump-win & www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2020/07/13/inside-americas-secretive-2-billion-research-hub-collecting-fingerprints-from-facebook-hacking-smartwatches-and-fighting-covid-19/

When I was 36, my husband and I traveled to Ireland. We were so jet lagged that we had to pull over our rental car several times to sleep. I can't remember any time in my life feeling such overwheming fatigue - even as a 20 year old partier! So when Biden says he was jet-lagged I totally understand. He can't alter his official schedule for a debate but his staff did not do him a service by ignoring his need for extra rest. Presidents aren't super beings , even though sometimes we project them as such. We need them to have good core values, as I think Biden has.
