Comparisons are made between Biden's current public appearances and footage from January 2020, with observations that his speech and cognitive speed have noticeably declined. Speculation arises that Biden's "basement strategy" was a recovery period following a health incident.

Observers note that Biden often reads the "I approve this message" script directly from the prompter even when it seems out of place. These instances have fueled ongoing discussions regarding the candidate's cognitive stamina during live events.

Critics argue this system is a "scam" that primarily benefits media companies by inflating the total pool of money available for advertising buys. By splitting large sums into multiple small donations, candidates can significantly multiply their campaign funds using taxpayer money.

He argues that there is little evidence the targeted Facebook ads actually worked, citing reports that the Trump campaign initially viewed the data as "garbage." The existential threat to Facebook may be the realization by advertisers that their micro-targeting tools are ineffective.

They analyze the "hold your nose and vote" sentiment among Democratic voters. Sanders' refusal to attack the Clinton Foundation or the email scandal is viewed as a strategic weakness in the face of the "Clinton machine."
