This week, President Joe Biden formally launched his 2024 re-election campaign. He did so with a three-minute video in which he did not appear on camera speaking for more than two seconds at a time; the highly-produced video instead utilizes audio of Biden over fast cuts of Normal Americans™ doing Normal Things™. Biden’s message is simple: “Finish The Job.”
But what, precisely, is the job? Biden’s first term record is abysmal: a 40-year inflation high, now baked into the price structure; systemic weakness in the banking system, brought about by the necessity of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates; an out-of-control debt problem that will only appreciate over time; a collapsing Middle East in which a serious war is now the most likely outcome; an emboldened China casting its eyes upon Taiwan; a Europe unsure about American leadership despite the war in Ukraine; an Afghanistan turned over to eighth-century barbarians, with hundreds of Americans still behind enemy lines and 13 American servicemembers murdered; a social fabric frayed beyond recognition by the insistence on racial “equity” and the false malleability of sex itself, especially for children.
