The general election campaign kicked off last night with Biden's State of the Union. We had Palestinian protestors blocking the motorcade's path to the Capitol. We had hecklers. We had button confrontations. We had yelling. We had scolding of SCOTUS. We had hyper-partisanship. And we had frequent discussion of the man who is not to be named, aka "the predecessor." So how did the speech play out? I felt as if I was watching an angry old man yelling at me to get off his lawn and more of a campaign speech than a State of the Union. Others may have viewed it as a fiery and formative candidate fighting back against an aging narrative. The bigger question is, how did you, the Independents, view it? Regardless, we have 8 months of this to look forward to, so buckle up.
