Biden’s Deputy Campaign Manager, Quentin Fulks, must be using some otherworldly definition of “strong position” that the rest of us aren’t privy to. Despite Democrats on all sides sending not-so-subtle hints suggesting Joe Biden should bow out gracefully, Fulks is clinging to the narrative that Biden’s campaign is a beacon of triumph. It’s almost like he’s trying to sell a half-sunk ship as a luxury cruise liner.
While many in the Democratic camp would like nothing better than to see Joe retire to his basement for good, Fulks wants everyone to buy into the fantasy that Biden is standing tall, ready for round two. Apparently, we’re all supposed to overlook the mounting concerns, flubbed speeches, and ever-lowering approval ratings because, according to Fulks, things are just dandy.

One would think that with cries for Biden’s retirement coming from within his own party, those at the helm might consider a reality check. Instead, they apparently decided that delusion is their new campaign strategy. It’s almost like watching a bad infomercial where the product keeps breaking, but the host insists it’s the best thing since sliced bread.
Curiously, this “strong position” claim comes at a time when even loyal Democrats are openly contemplating alternatives. It’s as if Captain Oblivious is steering a ship through an iceberg field, insisting it’s smooth sailing ahead. The American public, especially conservatives, aren’t buying what Fulks is selling, which is more political snake oil than substance.
In summary, Democrats’ whispers (or rather, vocal demands) for Biden to step aside are growing louder, and Fulks’ assertions of strength are as believable as a fish riding a bicycle. Biden’s campaign might want to re-evaluate its strategy – that is, if they ever decide to acknowledge the reality that everyone else can see.
