Joe Biden Goes on "Youth" Oriented Snapchat Show, Gets Relentlessly Clowned

I looked this up just to make sure that the video below the fold was real.

Apparently, it is.

[Q:] I want to start off with a couple of questions about the youth vote. It needs to be said that not every young person, every voter under 30, is a Bernie [Sanders] supporter. But there is a prevailing narrative out there among young progressives that you and [Donald] Trump are kind of indistinguishable. It reminds me of the 2000 election, and [George] Bush and [Al] Gore were running against each other, and the young left, a lot of whom voted for [Ralph] Nader, thought the other two guys were the same. What do you say to the 19-year-old out there who thinks that you're just the lesser of two evils?

Well, first of all, the data doesn't show that, as you know. There was a large, large survey done by John Della Volpe up at Harvard [that] shows we have as much authenticity--we're viewed as being authentic and bringing excitement as Bernie did.

Guys, he has data that shows he is authentic and is bringing excitement.

Look at these graphs. That Y-Axis represents Excitement, and as you can see, it is rising at a very moderate but exciting pace.

...

Speaking of Harvard, the Shorenstein Center up at Harvard did an analysis of all of the anti-Biden memes out there on the internet. 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?

[Chuckles] I can hardly wait to get onto the stage with Donald Trump. Look, I certainly miss being out on the trail connecting face-to-face to people. Trump is a master at laying nicknames on people and it's this whole deal. But the vast majority of the voters out there, including young people, are not getting all their news from the internet.

Hello Fellow Kids, I have data that says the majority of young people are not getting their news from the internet but are totally into old-timey broadsheets called "newspapers."

Again, I'm cutting his rubbish answer short, because it's all scripted and telepromptered for him.

What's interesting is watching him get clowned by these questions calling him, basically, a senile sex pest.
