Wait until they realize he’s committed a felony! Would you hire an unsentenced felon to work for you? Would you want them to be mayor or on your city council? Of course not! So who’s the crazy person who’s hiring a felon to be POTUS? An old weirdo who’s clearly a malignant narcissist too?

“Let’s remember, he is 78 years old. With so much attention on [President Joe] Biden’s age when he was still in the race, it was overlooked that Trump is just a couple years younger and just as prone, maybe more so, to these verbal slips and confusion.”

What a load of bullshit. Biden had some slip-ups. But he was never full on delusional the way Trump is.

If you have a tire go flat, a doughnut is better, doesn’t mean you should just leave it on forever because it’s “good enough”.

Biden was better than trump, but that’s a dumb standard.

We should be running the best candidate possible, which means paying attention to what the Dem voter base wants and matching that. Not shoving what donors want down our throats because “what are you gonna do. Vote trump?”. The real answer is they just won’t vote

And low turnout is the only way republicans win.

What does any of that have to do with the comment you replied to or the article?

That’s not what I was talking about at all. The point is that the media constantly focus on Biden’s slip-ups whereas they try to normalize Trump’s obvious madness. It is of course perfectly legitimate to question Biden’s suitability as a candidate and I do believe he made the right decision to step down. But anyone who thinks Biden is unsuitable but Trump isn’t is either a liar or a moron. Or both. It’s usually both. And the media that promote this false equivalence are enemies of US democracy.

Who is “normalizing” trump?

Criticizing Biden made sense because there was a chance Biden’s donors would listen and make him step down

That did work.

Calling for trump to step down won’t work, because his main donors are foreign governments trying to cause chaos, and if he drops out, he’s going to prison.

And that’s not even getting into if trump steps down…

That only helps Republicans and hurts Kamala.

But anyone who thinks Biden is unsuitable but Trump isn’t is either a liar or a moron.

Who is saying that?

Why are you listening to them?

Like, you’re complaining about “the media” but all of them except right wing echo chambers have been saying he’s unsuitable for almost a decade now…

Can you name one serious media organization that is doing what you’re complaining about?

We’re already not running Biden.

Are you aware of this television program? It’s called “The News.”

“couple of years younger” or older than Biden was in 2020 when Republicans called him too old…

“It’s harder to pick it up from Trump sometimes because he’s so loud and has been doing this for years, so we may be numb to it,” he added. “There is a new focus here about his mental capability and fitness for office — certainly one that Democrats are pointing to. These mistakes, the mix-ups are seemingly only increasing by the day.”

We are almost numb…? Well, I’m not. But I don’t watch tv news and rarely see this asshole speak. I just read about it.

Maybe people are saying he’s the goat like he’s got the mark of the beast?

Or that he screams a bunch and feints at the slightest opposition
