It has been over two months since Election Day, and President Biden is still caught up in a whirlwind of woulda, coulda, and shoulda regarding the recent presidential race. In a recent discussion, he seemed to hold on to the belief that he and Vice President Kamala Harris could have taken down President-elect Donald Trump if things had played out differently. It’s like trying to win a game that’s already over—instead of focusing on what’s next, Biden is stuck reminiscing about what might have been.
Biden claimed that it was crucial to unify his party, suggesting that his decisions were made with the greater good in mind. However, the reality remains that he and Harris did not win. That’s a tough pill to swallow, and many are wondering why he is still in a state of denial about it. It’s akin to showing up at a pizza party late just to lament about how delicious the pepperoni must be while everyone else has already devoured the entire pie.
Conversely, Trump has transformed his party into a colorful coalition of voices, drawing in individuals from various backgrounds, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard. It seems he’s trying to establish the kind of unity that Biden keeps talking about but struggles to achieve. The conversation shifted toward how Trump’s policies resonate with a wider audience, especially as he pushes themes like making America’s interests a priority in foreign conflicts—a significant pivot that some former Democrats seem to be embracing.
Furthermore, some commentators pointed out that recent polling suggests Trump would have had a stronger chance against Biden than Harris did. This stings a little bit for the current administration, especially for Biden, who appears to be holding onto this delusion that he might have outperformed Trump. There’s a hint of desperation in the air, reminiscent of kids arguing over who would have won a soccer match if only they had played the game—yikes!
As the narrative unfolds, Biden seems to be trying to project confidence and control, but many believe he finds himself in a bubble, surrounded by advisors who may not be giving him the full picture. With reports indicating that Democratic insiders are concerned about his understanding of the political landscape, it raises questions about whether he is truly aware of how Americans view his leadership.
The ongoing theme seems to be a divide between the Democratic Party and the Republican wave that’s catching new supporters along the way. The Democrats are facing criticism for lacking strong ideas and strategies. It’s as if they are stuck in a loop, trying to convince themselves that they are on the right side of history while the world around them shifts. Will the reality check come in time for them to make the necessary adjustments, or will they continue to ride the merry-go-round of delusions? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: the political landscape is changing, and both parties are feeling its effects.
