People’s memories are short. It’s too difficult for voters to connect with and care about things they don’t even remember for the events to have an impact on the election. Trump’s attacks on Clinton worked because most older voters still remember Bill Clinton’s presidency. People who are old enough to remember Biden’s blunders are a very small percentage of the electorate. Attacks on his past won’t stick.

[@towjam37]

@@tomcotter4299 As if Biden hasn't had any recent blunders. #EYEROLL How about the fact that he isn't even campaigning because people like him less and less every time he speaks, and that he's only raising money from big money donors - there are many more recent blunders as well. Also Tom, your argument is looking quite flimsy. "People's memories are short" followed by "voters still remember Bill Clinton's presidency" You see the contradiction, right? Not trying to attack you bro...just trying to help you step your game up.

[@tomcotter4299]

towjam37 Sure, I understand. I appreciate the discourse. I think you’re wrong, if you do the math, my statement isn’t a contradiction. People’s political memories begin around 18 or later, so if you add it up, the only people who would have been politically cognizant at the time Biden made his blunders are now 50+. That’s an important demographic but it’s also constantly in churn, with new people who don’t remember the past coming in and those who do dying. And to your point that Biden is making current blunders, I agree. He made one yesterday just after I wrote this comment. He flip-flopped on his 40-year stance on abortion. Huge mistake. His running Left during the primaries will destroy his credibility among moderates.

I love how NYT glosses over the fact that he's often very handsy with young girls...

[@kailiak4271]

I mean, it was only a three-minute video. A ten-minute video probably would have had a lot more focus on that. They probably just wanted the video to be short, and not some full-on complete background story of Joe Biden. Besides, they glossed over most of the things they were saying, which is why I think it has more to do with the amount of time they wanted the video to be than what they actually believe in. Personally, though, I agree that they should have spent a bit more time on that, even in a short video.

@Chidi Akara I agree but Trump is the swamp too. It's just that Republicans seem to ignore it when it suits them. His biggest funder is Sheldon Addelson, who influenced Trumps Israel Jerusalem policy and also wanted to drop some nukes on Iran. But remember when Trump said he has no donors. It was complete BS, cant believe Republicans believe that liar...

[@hnys7976]

@Chidi Akara That's the thing. It's not that Sheldon Addelson being a campaign donor for him is bad. It's just that Sheldon Addelson is a very evil man, and another thing is that Trumps a liar as he said he had no campaign donors. If Trump is draining the swamp, why are the people close to him the ones being arrested?

@Chidi Akara I never said that Julian Assange is close to Trump. If anything hes actually a good man.
