The Biden campaign is trying to work its way into social media feeds. But it is struggling to win over the young, left-leaning influencers who control the conversation online.

They know they can't get naturally like a popular candidate can.

So they keep trying to manufacture it. Which, might not be a deal breaker for the 50 and up crowd, but it's very obvious to anyone younger when something is being faked.

Its why Biden filled the DNC and his campaign team with "media moguls" like the guy who came up with Quibi and donation hounds like Jaimie Harrison who knows how to get money, but no idea how to win an election.

For whatever reason, "getting votes" is viewed as a secondary effect now. Probably because what wins elections is young (relatively speaking) candidate who are charismatic and run progressive sounding campaigns.

Biden can't do that.

He's not young, charismatic, and he torched all his progressive cred before he stepped foot in the oval office.

People act like Biden's age can only be a factor if he drops dead, he's completely out of touch with people because of it too.

Its why we get the "Pokemon go to the polls" stupid shit out of the DNC.

There's no one who actually understands voters making any decisions. It's just a bunch of boomers and over who want to voters to shut up so they can enjoy their fancy fundraisers with George Clooney.

Like, who the fuck even set the guest list for the recent fundraiser where they decided Clooney and Julia Roberts were the best to reach out to voters?

A couple of A list actors from decades ago that the demographics Biden is hurting with so give two shits about.

They did t pick who would best help Biden's campaign, they picked people they wanted to hang out with

He has already gone viral as the guy who bombs women and children to pieces. A second wave is harder.

Biden sucks. Trump sucks. Let's enact an age limit and get rid of both or add ranked voting. I'm so sick of this corrupt country.

Fuck the NYT for so many reasons, but they'd be lying to their readers if they weren't shitting on Biden

Lying how? They’re spinning. Facts are irrelevant.
