There's a postscript on this article now. I can't believe we're even having this conversation. https://ranthonyings.com/2024/06/debate-post-mortem/
Good piece.
In the debate AND in the interview last night you see Biden settle down as his anxiety over his stutter/seeming slow and “old” passes and his lucidity and intelligence locks in and comes to the fore again and he’s in the work and the details of the insanely complex job of being president. On that level he is 110%. His voice may be soft and not be the loud word-diarrhea of a con man terrified that he’ll be exposed as a dumbass who knows nothing, but that shouldn’t matter.

The news, the media obsessed with optics and people too, need to get beyond the superficial and look for substance in a person who’s going to be president. Especially NOW.
Anyhow, Beau’s clear-eyed, wise, videos are really necessary right now…
Just a thought. ;)

Good voice and writing style, IMHO .:)
I like the insights from Cox and St0neKettle on Trump’s “Galloping Gish” speaking style horseshit. I mean I knew on some level he’d try to completely frustrate with utter garbage. That shit is utterly toxic to genuine engagement with someone like Biden with a PHYSIOLOGICAL challenge, like a stutter.
