Sure. But the purpose is to get re-elected and keep doing a good job, and that means getting your accomplishments for the American people out there, so everyone can hear about them, over and over. It's called messaging
And the Dems are horrible at it.
But getting better. LOLDems is as out of date as LOLMets, and we should no longer perpetuate it.
The Democrats are, slowly, turning the aircraft carrier. The former leadership was older than color television.
This. The previous version gets curbstomped in the Midterms. These Dems messaged perfectly and avoided the traps the media laid.
Weirdly enough, that is partially on Biden. For all his Grandpa Vibes, he actually thinks younger than most people in our party. Or perhaps he is the last living Democrat BF* who actually has ties to the working class.

Eat it, Nazis.
One of the most successful first terms in American history, and that does not include the first incumbent first termer not to lose an incumbent Senator since the 1830s.

Wait, you think LOLMets is out of date?
I think the working class thing is absolutely correct. The best politicians from Minnesota have been Wellstone and Walz. Both have or had ties to the working class. Hell, even Humphrey was from a very modest background.
It's definitely the second...but the grandpa vibes help too. I mean seriously we are gonna believe that dude is an international criminal boss swinging his dick around for billions? He looks like the dude who has a 5 minute convo about life with the waiter before ordering...
The Happy Warrior was the last dying breath of the New Deal. This country and this world would have been so much better off had he beaten Nixon.
"Looks like"?
Yeah I think by 1984 the main Reagan stuff had been passed, so I don't know if that would have made the difference. Plus it wasn't even close, but Gore v Bush was. With Gore we could have made more progress on paying down the debt and shoring up SS; even with the inevitable dotcom bust we could have still put things on a decent track. And not only would the GWOT not have gotten out of control, you may have never had 9/11; the Bush people played dumb anything related to Al-Qeada because they wanted to focus on Iraq, and they view bin Laden as a Clinton thing they wanted to distance themselves from.

Franken? Yeah he was an artist/comedian but I'm pretty sure he didn't grow up with a silver spoon.
