    Al’s monologue is brilliant! It should be broadcast all over the world. He describes both the essence and danger of the narcissistic personality, who are legends in their own minds. It also addresses the Biden age obsession by framing it according to energy and the reality of how Biden uses it and how Trump uses it. I think the next step is for political cartoonists to translate this to memes and TikTok videos. Oldies like me can understand this from Al’s monologue but most people will only get it from quick visuals. Know anybody who can do that, Al? I can see these in my head but don’t have the skill or connection to produce them, certainly not on a mass scale. Can you imagine a video of Trump “talking and sucking energy at the same time time” while the previously energetic crowd leaves totally drained. Energy vampire is a powerful meme. The steady ship of state under Biden would also be a powerful meme. We have to pull out all the stops. The next year is just too critical.

      Pollsters no longer call random people because in fact no one answers their phone. They call the same pool of people every time. And that lets them massage the polls to produce pretty much any result desired, which is why polls are used now to manipulate the public and try to preordain election results or make certain candidates drop out needlessly.

    A brilliant intro to a great interview. Al Franken and David Axelrod are two of my favourite political thinkers/politicians. Period. And I'm Australian listening in Melbourne ffs! Yes, 2024 is of global concern. Dems need to communicate their world class achievements AND call B.S. on Trump. In fact, I'd start an ad with "It's time to call B.S. on Trump... then go hard highlighting Trump as a grifting moron. Not just a moron, but a f*cking moron. The facts speak for themselves. On paper, Biden is arguably one of the best presidents in the history of the presidency. Well, COMMUNICATE it. And painting the picture of the idiocy of Trump versus the brilliance of Biden are not either/or issues. A political pincer movement is essential and needs to start now.

I'm sure the Biden family has had serious conversations - as well as with his doctor - about whether Biden should run.

There are other ads about saving democracy and some about the economy and helping the middle class. So maybe David Axelrod should’ve done a little homework before coming on this podcast and acting like Biden hadn’t put on any ads along these lines he’s thinking. Turns out Biden and his administration are way ahead of you David Axelrod. What you said in this podcast pisses me off because it shows that you walked into this speculating, which is misleading to the other listeners.

      @@txnmia8613 Think of all the significant issues going on in the Democratic party today and we get these geezers... Any of the Squad or their intra-party AIPAC rivals for starters. The California Senate race is shaping up between 3 very compelling Democrats, wouldn't that be more interesting? New York politics is turning into a clown show, how about someone to critique the contested races there. Politico's Emily Ngo is doing some good work on New York politics. I think Franken is phoning it in now.
