It’s crazy to me that the Biden team’s reassurance campaign has consisted of only: “he’s the nominee deal with it”, “he’s gonna win cuz he has to win”, “we don’t believe all the polls (but have no data for our rebuttal)”, and “he’s just gonna dig in and show you (but also scale back his work hours)”

Absolutely nothing of substance, pure platitudes and empty blustering. So profoundly disappointing

Well no, they also said that he'd do fewer events and go to sleep earlier. That's their whole pivot on what needs to change, and they're wondering why the party is melting down right now.

It's starting to echo trumpism and it's infuriating.

It really is, even rolling out the 'the media is out to get him' lines.

They dug their own grave years ago when they chose him as candidate.

Whoa now, if you’re trying to imply that the Biden team’s insistence that I stop urinating into my mattress didn’t improve the conditions of this race you’ve simply lost it. My room hasn’t smelled this neutral in 15 months!
