It’s not the age, it’s health issues. You choose your leader to govern your country, it seems like Biden can’t really dobthat anymore. Maybe if we weren’t hooked to live feeds we wouldn’t notice. After all, Roosevelt was very ill when he was reelected for the third time in 1944.

What health issues? I mean I know he’s old, but what exactly are you seeing that suggests he’s not capable of running his administration?

He’s been misspeaking and making gaffes since long before I voted for him in 2020, so that’s not new, nor a sign of things getting worse, it’s just getting more attention than it did before.

On the other hand, we’ve seen how he is as President, and he’s done a very good job. Obviously I’d prefer someone more progressive and who will stand up more to Israel, but his track record has been commendable and productive. I have no reason to expect any worse now.

I think this is a good point that was missed. You know what was really shocking when Biden was elected - we heard nothing about him. No stupid comments every day, no stupid decisions, no sharpie or nukes on hurricanes, or upside down bibles. Just President doing president things - we heard more ex president than president.

Was he perfect - no. But fuck was it a refreshing change.

Yeah it feels like people are eating up right wing lies tbh.

Like he’s definitely old, but there aren’t any signs of serious cognitive decline.

I’ve witnessed up close the ends all 4 of my grandparents and 2 great grandparents. You can absolutely tell when someone’s mind is going. It is not subtle.

My nan went in her early 90s and up until the last couple years she was completely with it.

Republican voters do not give a single fuck.

There are plenty of people who will vote for the democratic nominee even if it’s Biden, but if his performance reduces voter turnout then we get Trump. You overestimate the political literacy of the average person. A lot of people are burnt out or apathetic. You should want somebody who will beat Trump. Why are people hellbent on sticking with the candidate that has a poor approval rating and is polling poorly?

You’re 100% focused on the wrong fucking thing. Stop talking about biden and the dnc. Keeping them in the spotlight is what will cause them to lose. Not this whole manufactured biden controversy. Keeping the ball in the DNCs court is the losing play. Your response to my post is the losing play. So, eat me

We should have them both in a 1/4 mile bicycle race. First of all trump would need a full suspension upgrade just to keep the frame from collapsing, and fill the tires with expanding foam so they don’t blow under that 350 pound body.
