Biden laughs off 'Dementia Joe' memes: Young voters 'not getting all their news from the internet'

“The Shorenstein Center up at Harvard did an analysis of all of the anti-Biden memes out there on the internet,” Mr. Hamby said. “According to them, the top three slogans they’re seeing, this is from the left and the right, are Dementia Joe, Sleepy Joe, Creepy Joe. Barack Obama reportedly said last week that his daughters had been showing him anti-Biden TikToks. Basically, there’s an entire discourse on the internet right now that’s painting you as creepy and old and out of touch and kind of lame. How do you fight back against that?”

“But the vast majority of the voters out there, including young people, are not getting all their news from the internet,” he [Biden] continued. “But I’m trying to compete there. We’re getting started late in the comparative sense. One hundred and two million video views across social media platforms since mid-March for me.”

He sure ain’t talking about his virtual town halls.

Biden is an idiot. If anything, a higher percentage of young voters get their news exclusively from the Internet than any other age group.

He’d better hope his supporters who censor and guide logarithms of Google searches don’t dump him for another Commie.

Biden America’s Hero will bring up “Problems For Biden May Sink His Candidacy.”

102 million?! Ha Ha, that’s 1/3 view per citizen. So, if young people aren’t getting news off the Internet, where are they getting it? Maybe on their record players ... or maybe on their Radio Shack transistor Flavoradios.

Joe, not all of your bytes are being uploaded! Not all of your pixels are flashing! You’re missing a few megabytes of your main memory. Your drivers have shut down. Time to give the CPU a rest and catch up on your reading.

Yeah he’s hiding in a basement during a presidential election because he’s fine.

Who could be stupid enough to believe that?

Wouldn’t a person running for POTUS be out there wearing a mask and visiting hospitals and business people etc?

Isn't laughing at inappropriate times a sign of dementia?

Joe Biden awarded the coveted gold-tipped knitting needle trophy.

Biden named "The Candidate Most Likely to Unravel."

Exactly. They don’t really get “news,” either. They get pre-digested opinions and judgments, often in the form of memes.

It’s pathetic.

Actually, I DO get all my news from the internet. Its depth, breadth, access and viewpoints are unlimited. You can read any subject at pretty much any length. You can access the printed word, audio, or video.

Compare that choice, to the 3 broadcast corporate cable news formats, who can’t spend more than 1 minute on any topic. They have become pure propoganda.
