To understand how much has and hasn’t changed within the Democratic Party, consider a campaign ad from Trumpworld, which mocks President Joe Biden as old, feeble and befuddled.

“Do you think the guy who was defeated by the stairs, got taken down by his bike, lost a fight with his jacket and regularly gets lost makes it four more years in the White House?” a narrator intones as Vice President Kamala Harris appears. “And you know who’s waiting behind him, right? Vote Joe Biden today, get Kamala Harris tomorrow.”
