Pinning the communication failure on Biden and his age is pure cope, a way to avoid having to grapple with the utter wreckage of our information environment more broadly. The fact is, the system is set up to make it effectively impossible to convey positive news about Dems to voters. Period.

Chuck Schumer's starting position should be as maximalist as possible -- complete abolition of ICE, resignations of Bovino, Homan, Noem and Miller, unmasking of all agents, and prosecution by state authorities of the murderers.
Don't start with what looks like a compromise half-measure.

Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”
Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.
So pathetic and weak.
