Joe Biden’s campaign is facing a strategic dilemma. Since the president’s job-approval ratings have been consistently low, his path to reelection depends on making 2024 a comparative choice between himself and Donald Trump, his scary, extremist predecessor. That task is becoming more urgent as evidence emerges that a sizable number of voters either don’t remember or misremember the four turbulent years of the Trump administration. But paradoxically, educating voters about the potential consequences of a Biden defeat could annoy and alienate them by pushing Trump fatigue to new heights.

      Yes, hello. I understand you’re giving out Presidental Campaign starter packages?

      I’ll take the Newport parents, Ivy League College, multi-millionare basic bundle. That comes with the limited-time “My Parents donated to most of my future colleagues’ war chests” add-on, right?

      Do I have to upgrade to get rid of the early-to-mid-life scandal?

        That depends if you took the ‘media-mogul’ tract or the ‘oil-and-gas magnate’ tract for your “son-of-a-billionaire” class.

        Also, if you took the ‘tech-bro’ multi-class early on, that can unlock the “every-crisis-is-an-opportunity” story-line where you buy a floundering media company in an attempt to preserve your image.

        Sadly the contract requires you to sell your soul to AIPAC and promise your liver and lungs to Lockheed Martin as collateral

      Actually I am running for president. I’m just poor AF so you’ll have to use a write in since I’m not really party allegiant or super well known.

      It’s not hard.
