It was a disastrous opening performance for a president whose greatest electoral vulnerability is his age

There are a lot of voters who can't find Palestine on a map, but pretty much everyone can recognize old and rambling.

Just being able to spell "genocide" and recognize that it's not the new wings-and-mozzerella appetizer at Geno's Pizza puts a voter well into the 70th percentile of American political discourse.

While I think the issue of Gaza and Biden supporting genocide goes beyond poll numbers, the reality is that polls show Gaza is way down the list of voter concerns, even for young voters.

Death to America.

Well then fuck those selfish assholes. They deserve Trump.
