I would really feel bad about it if I thought that America had actually elected them.

Biden is a 'Word Person', to an even greater extent than Obama is and Woodrow Wilson was. Concerning the latter individual, Sigmund Freud and William Bullitt wrote a psychological study of him, in which they wrote:

"Throughout his life he took intense interest only in subjects which could somehow be connected with speech…He took no interest in mathematics, science, art or music–except in singing himself, a form of speaking. His method of thinking about a subject seems to have been to imagine himself making a speech about it…He seems to have thought about political or economic problems only when he was preparing to make a speech about them either on paper or from the rostrum."

Biden's actions of the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal were quite clearly motivated by the speech he was planning to give on 9/11/21, rather than by any kind of coherent planning or policy analysis. Reality, to him, is merely a backdrop to political action, especially speechifying.

The entire Democrat Party is now driven by Word and Image People, and that is also true of the extensions of the Party in media and academia.
