So why focus on that particular grain of sand if the intention behind it isn’t to aggregate bad news.
Fact is, Biden won in Georgia in 2020. He’s losing in all the polls in Georgia as of now. You can blame the NYT all you want, but they aren’t responsible for his performance in Georgia as of now.
This story is just a symptom of a larger problem. If you want to bury your head in the sand and act like there isn’t a larger problem, you can enjoy this 2016 rerun.

And the article in question focuses on a granular detail that is too specific to give the NYT readership any reasonable understanding as to why that is. If it was the editorial intention to educate people then they should have composed a broader picture with polling of all the main subsections of voters and the relevant catalysts that impact them. But this is not what they are doing. They have picked this granular narrative because it it lends its self to the framing they want.
You can blame the NYT all you want
I would rather you see my opinions as a critical analysis of electoral media than specifically dumping on the NYT. Again, I’m from the UK I mainly read UK news I don’t have a specific axe to grind with US media.
This story is just a symptom of a larger problem.
No disagreement here. However the particular choice of symptom is part of the framing for the newspaper’s agenda.
If you want to bury your head in the sand and act like there isn’t a larger problem
If the NYT want to put out an article about the 'larger problem of disillusionment then maybe a more pertinent analysis would be of Biden’s backing of Isreal. Or Biden’s ageing (are the NYT pro-gerontocracy, probably not).
What has happened is they have scrolled down the list of diminishingly pertinent narratives till they found one that works the negative emotional engagement they do want.
you can enjoy this 2016 rerun.
Electing Trump is good for the far right around the world terrible for everyone else. Electing Biden is disappointing for the US as you could do better, and bad for Palestinians.

I don’t envy your choices.
I see this and think it’s best to agree to disagree with your analysis.
Fair enough. Have a good day.
