Politics is often about a narrative [View all]

In 2012 President Obama’s campaign effectively portrayed Romney as out of touch with ordinary Americans. The narrative stuck and Obama was reelected. Amen

The current narrative on President Biden is he is too old to be president. Is it correct? NO Is it fair? NO Shouldn’t they be looking at the other guy? YES

But the only question that needs to be answered is how do you change the narrative? Outside of replacing President Biden with a younger candidate how do you change the narrative? Because unfortunately and unfairly this narrative has stuck.
