It's not clear where Biden was going or what he was doing....but it appears to be one of those unfortunate incidents where the Biden wranglers weren't nearby because of the photo op and Biden (as is traditional for him in these situations) seems to begin wandering off...
Now, is this the worst I've seen him during this administration? No. No the worst has to be the Vietnam press speech....
Now...it's not really a question of whether or not Biden's mental state has deteriorated. He's spoken to the press less than any president in the past 40 years. He's spent more of his time in office on vacation than any other president (depending on who you ask, other sources have him closer to Trump’s time on vacation)
I don't think it really matters much...I've never seen the white house have to correct the president so many times nor have I ever seen so many whistleblowers from so many agencies. My personal favorites are the IRS specialists on international money laundering accusing him of corruption and the old lady from HHS speaking at length about how over 100,000 unaccompanied children were given to known criminals and human traffickers with little regard for their safety and no accountability for where they are or what conditions they are in.
I'm not here to rip apart Biden....it would take too long. From the Afghanistan withdrawal to funneling endless cash and arms into the Ukraine where liberals ignore war crimes and Gaza where liberals complain about war crimes....this presidency is just a series of low points and crony capitalism....and abuse of the DOJ and executive branch.
I'm asking anyone and everyone....why do you think Democrats decided to run Biden despite the many problems with both his administration and mental state? Here's some suggestions starting with what I think is most likely....followed by guesses in no particular order. Say what you will about the right or republicans....they at least trotted out some options other than Trump for the US voters to choose from whether it was DeSantis, Ramaswamy, or that one unqualified lady who thought the civil war had something to do with "states rights".
Did the left decide to run Joe because...
1. He's so far gone he isn't making any decisions, and whomever is making them in his place won't be held accountable for them as Joe continues to get the blame.
2. There's really nobody else to vote for on the left. This is essentially the reason Joe ran and won the nomination in 2020. He still had familiarity with voters from his time as VP and although clearly a lie...a return to the steady leadership of those days during covid and 2020 riots was appealing.
3. The issues/platform. Joe's positions on the issues of the day really resonate with the voters. This seems unlikely as I've yet to have a real life discussion with a Biden voter who knows his positions on any issues and that seems appropriate since it doesn't appear Biden knows either.
4. He's doing a good job. Again, seems unlikely with his approval ratings that many people think this....but it's somewhere above 30% so technically 3-4 out of 10 Americans seem to approve of the job he's doing.
5. They actually want Trump to win. This one is for the conspiracy theorists out there who think that the 4 years of complaining about an oppressive and unfair justice system to appeal to the feelings of voters on the left, and then using that oppressive and unfair justice system to attempt to defeat Trump is a deliberate move to make him sympathetic to the left and independent voters.
6. Some sort of test to see what exactly the Democratic Party can get away with? When combining all the failures of the administration and the rampant hatred of old white men that the left has been stoking for the past 10 years... why not shuffle out this old white man who seems confused and inept just to see how much the voters on the left are willing to take before they get angry at their own party?
7. Full blown denial. Those in charge of such decisions genuinely believe that Joe is either still up to the job or actually doing well....and the voters agree. This would take a very cynical optimistic, perhaps even delusional perspective, but who knows who is running things at the moment anyway? Maybe they do think he's doing good.
Thoughts?
Answers I'm not interested in are....
1. Tradition. This administration has broken a lot of traditions and not just a few laws so I don't think they care more about running an incumbent president than they do winning.
2. He's not Trump. Technically, anyone who the left runs isn't Trump so....it's not really a reason to run Joe.
Again....looking for reasons why the Democratic Party decided to run Joe Biden again, despite extremely low approval ratings, poor performance on key issues like the economy, immigration, education, the wars we're now funding, etc....and his obvious mental decline.
Now, is this the worst I've seen him during this administration? No. No the worst has to be the Vietnam press speech....
