Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.'s biggest obstacle

Since Joe Biden’s nomination for the president of the United States, I have rarely heard anyone on the left state why Biden deserves to be president.

Rather, I only hear about the reasons why Trump is not fit for office along with the abundance of contempt the left has for him. Even in the best laid arguments for welfare or foreign policy, nearly every single Biden pundit mandates the use of Trump’s name in their reasoning to vote for Biden. This strategy will cost Biden the election, and social media is a poignant declaration of that opinion.

On Facebook – the No. 1 social media platform – Trump’s page boasts 30 million “likes,” whereas Biden’s carries nearly 3.2 million. On their respective YouTube pages, Trump has 1.36 million followers while Joe Biden lists only 271,000.

In fact, the top three most viewed Trump videos account for more than 69 million views whereas Biden’s top three videos equate to a little more than 9 million views. It is especially telling because Trump’s No. 1 video with more than 27 million views does not mention Joe Biden at all. Joe Biden’s No. 1 video depicts Trump within the first four seconds of the ad.

In this day and age where the average attention span is less than 10 seconds, the message of politicians must be direct and exact.

With a quick search of The White House website, one can see accomplishments from the Trump presidency including just his first two years in office, all of which we are reminded of in every Trump rally or press briefing.

I have watched many Biden rallies and speeches, and I am mostly aware of his crime bill of the 90s and the few things he aided former President Barack Obama with.

Biden continually bashes Trump and fails to remind us of his own successes of the last 47 years. Joe Biden has not campaigned to win the vote, but rather he has campaigned to win a contest of decorum, and it will cost him.
