... and every Democrat I know personally feels the same way. While President Biden has done a much better at public speaking since the debate, and I believe he can continue to do so, the memory of his debate performance is seared into the memories of many. Some say they aren't going to vote at all or if they do, will leave the choice for president blank. That's what I'm hearing among friends, neighbors, and family members. I wish this weren't so and I'm trying to convince them otherwise. I'm old, my friends are old, and perhaps have another perspective about what is going on.
