Joe Biden Is Aided by “Policy Indifference Syndrome”

“Let’s leave aside the fact that Joe Biden has been publicly inactive since leaving office as Vice President in January 2017, except for making over $15 million in speaking fees and publishing royalties.”

It is undeniable that the American electorate has experienced severe emotional turmoil over the past seventeen years, since the invasion of Iraq—and, specifically, in the past three years since President Donald Trump’s inauguration. The shock-and-awe factor that the electorate experiences every election cycle—and the accompanying media fanfare—is emotionally jarring to say the least. It is a true challenge for many Americans, particularly those who are working, to follow the actual legislative record of our elected officials amid so much drama. This drama is ever heightened by the corporate media, whose record profits over the past three years should indicate two things: Americans do watch the circus and that corporate media has a vested interest that the circus continues.

For the past three years, we have heard the Democratic Establishment and their media extensions obsess over President Trump’s every move. They work together to create a mass hysteria, where it becomes impossible to discern the gravity of the various blunders. All blunders are equally disastrous. “We have the most dangerous person in the history of our country sitting in the White House,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told Variety last month. That has been the official siren song of the Democratic Party since President Trump’s inauguration.

This constant state of agitation, one would think, would encourage the Democratic electorate to truly engage in in-depth analysis of policy, as well as the voting history of Democratic candidates. One would hope that—if the crises are as severe and as deep as most working Americans understand—Democratic voters would meticulously study the details. One would imagine that voters would seek to understand how a Democratic presidential nominee would address and heal the wounds of our society, based on that candidate’s legislative history. Hélas, non.
