It’s the 4th of July, the day we celebrate our democracy. I don’t feel very celebratory, and neither do most people I know.
In four months we will elect a president amid widespread disenchantment with our choices. I’m not as down on Joe Biden as some are. I think he’s been a good president. But I worry that he’s not electable. He was already trailing Donald Trump in the polls before his weak performance in last week’s debate exacerbated concerns that he is too old and senile.
