From the very moment that Joe Biden’s historically atrocious debate performance caused the Democratic Party to descend into operatic levels of despair, I have been captured by one overarching instinct as to the likely result of his mistake: that, somehow, the whole mess was going to end up with the Republican Party losing the election.
To save my readers some time, I will preemptively concede all the criticisms that are likely to be hurled my way. I am, indeed, basing this on an amorphous instinct — “vibes,” one might say — rather than on a psephologically sound analysis of the polls. I can, indeed, see that the current evidence appears to contradict my hunch. I do, indeed, strongly dislike the candidates of both parties — to the point at which I struggle to comprehend their appeal. And, like every other human being who has ever lived, I am, indeed, often wrong.
