98. why is Stewart characterizing that one vid as the totality of the campaign
Tue Feb 13, 2024, 11:29 AM
Feb 2024

...if that's true, he's full of shit and needs to take more time looking at what this campaign team is doing and lift a finger to promote that, not his dumbded-down cynicism, pretending or sadly projecting that he doesn't have access to more than this tired MAGAcrite trope about age.

At least find some new material. The Biden is old schtick is exactly that : old schtick. LakeArenal Feb 2024 #184
I'll even listen to a new tack on the "Biden is old" schtick. He's old. So what? Is he doing the fucking job or not? SoFlaBro Feb 2024 #187

Stewart doesn't have a viable alternative because he's not advocating for an alternative to Biden fishwax Feb 2024 #84

no, but rather the opposite -- it's cynical to pretend or insist that it isn't true that Biden is an old man fishwax Feb 2024 #102
he's only serving himself by harping on it. bigtree Feb 2024 #104
lol -- it's not his job to *serve* the Biden campaign fishwax Feb 2024 #109
