Keep listening... there's a pendulum, as people first knee-jerk, then realize.

here is the followup to Ezra Klein’s option piece on Biden stepping down. also worth reading is George Will’s article in WAPO about Roosevelt’s choosing Truman “just in time” https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/23/opinion/open-conventions-gaza-biden.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=c-cb

Yes, I don't think the Biden team has digested the political cost of supporting Israel much too long for most young voters.

AND I agree that a tell is that Dems are not making the case that the Biden-Harris ticket is strong and will win. The long slow decline in Biden support is NOT coming back ever, not just because he's never getting younger.
