      It’s a very dark humor, but we can’t do much else but laugh about it…

      I’m definitely worried everytime I hear Biden is reaching out to the youth and/or minorities though.

      He isn’t doing poorly with them because they don’t know who Joe Biden is, he’s doing terrible with them because they know who he is.

      Biden speaking to them is unlikely to help.

      What would help is Biden trying to help them now, telling them he isn’t doing anything till next term and expecting them to believe him won’t really work.

      Even if he doesn’t succeed, just putting in a genuine effort even if it fails would go much further than anything he’s going to say in a perfect speech. And I don’t think anyone expects a perfect speech from Biden. Even though his publicly speaking skills is what made him a front runner in 1988, until the plagiarism stuff came out and he started screaming at journalists about how he’s smarter than them.

      That was almost 40 years ago, and his public speaking skills have nose dived since then.

      To the point his biggest supporters claim he’s always been bad at it
