Post-1976, every second presidential poll has sometimes had a Bush, a Clinton, or a Biden ( or a combination thereof ) somewhere on the ticket. And that’s a 45+-year period of 12 different political votes! But, yeah– in British politics, institutional speed and a president’s long-term brand recognition means a helluva lot.

Gradually, however, all brand identities did change. Brand IDs are n’t fixed, dynamic items, they’re constantly evolving – or devolving – and over time, they change into something structurally different from what they once were. The symbol was a Hindu symbol of good fortune for thousands of years, completely unrelated to hateful principles of racism, white authority, or Nazism. Not so much longer. The Confederate Flag, also known as the Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia, was trivial enough to grace the ceiling of an orange Dodge Charger on a children’s Friday nights TV show less than 40 years ago. Now, there’s not a single Television professional who’d green a boys ‘ show with protagonists associating themselves with Confederate symbols. Not even in the Deep South ( Although they’d approve of it for the villains, of course ).  ,
Symbols do n’t stand still, they’re in a perpetual state of flux. Therefore, if you care about a image, you must protect it from those who had co-opt its significance and pervert its identity.
But, characters also have a secondary price: They can serve as a Rorschach check, revealing hidden principles of its content. Since a mark is n’t a fixed, visible issue, your reply reveals the organisations, biases, and prejudices that shade your thinking. It’s a bribe code that suddenly exposes your view.
But it’s not the sole cheat script.
When you meet one’s spouse for the first time, you’ll quickly learn what they really worth – and what they despise. Yes, they may vehemently deny that they care about A, B, and C, but when their spouse defies those traits and rather embodies D, E, and F, you’ve uncovered the truth about their true value method. In fact, only ten days after meeting a friend’s family, you’ll learn more about their real values, ethics, and concerns than you would possess over a 20-year connection. Because when we make actually significant choices, we force ourselves to put the focus on what really matters rather than the hype, the B. S., and presumptions. Your choice of marriage is one instance, but this principle also applies to other big, huge decisions.

And that brings us to Joe Biden, President.
The afflicted, oft-discussed senator is currently trying valiantly to persuade his supporters not to abandon him shipwrecked on the Island of Misfit Toys. Yet the Left’s response to Biden’s requests is completely incredible:  ,
Joe Biden is a product. But is Kamala Harris. When you see well-known officials, they are what you think about second. All well-known officials have a certain adjective attached to their labels. And, for better or worse, the Democrats have been “married” to Biden for a very, very long time. He’s been their long-term dancing lover for more than a century.
And they’re ready to toss Biden into the garbage heap.
Here’s the irony: For today’s Democrats, the Biden brand has n’t undergone a sudden, seismic shift, even before the debate, they already knew he was an elderly, gaffe-prone octogenarian. The Biden company change, such as it was, has been detailed: He went from “older” to “old”, from “battle-hardened” to “battle-weary”, from “occasionally careless” to “please find Grandpappy in sleep by 8 p. m”.
These variations are only a matter of levels, though. There has n’t been a wholesale change in Biden’s brand ID. He’s essentially the same person he was one fortnight before, one year ago, or even two years ago. And the Democrats are aware of this! So do the British people.
Yet the Democrats ‘ reaction to Biden is beyond simple pearl-clutching. At this point, it’s abnormally frenzied.

Biden is only a few points off in the elections. It’s also a close contest. However, the Democrats are freaking out that the world is about to end, that the world is about to end, and that everyone should flee.
They’re terrified, wary, crazed, and demanding to change the rules. They were witty and gloating when they led in the elections, now that they’re trailing for the first time, they’ve lost all confidence in the British people, so they must” keep politics” by limiting the electors ‘ political choices. When faced with hardship, they have chosen to throw the whole game in the trash and rage-quit themselves rather than fight the good fight and allow the cards to fall where they may.
It’s surprising and eye-opening to Americans who are n’t social fanatics. These are the electors who largely stay ahead of the D.C. presidential election from a distance, and the Democrats ‘ panic directly contradicts the public’s contentions: The Republicans are emotionally unstable and affecting democracy, and the Democrats are the grown-ups with a steady hand and the age to steer the ship. This is what the internet was preaching always since Trump rode down the stairway and declared his candidacy in 2015.
However, what they preached is not accurate.
Since Biden’s discussion disaster, there’s been sufficient media attention on how Biden’s company has shifted. All the focus was on Biden, the person. The true history, however, is still untold, as is the change in how Americans view the Democrats ‘ model.

At least, not until now.
Even though they do n’t even realize it, it’s the Democrats who are telling the story. And it’s the British people who are listening.
