Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I understand where you're coming from, but you don't need to have lived the life to empathise with people who lived the life. Biden seems to be pretty spry for an 80 year old, with most of his problems being problems he's had his entire life, rather than new things that are coming up now that he's almost 80.
The question right now is who can replace Biden? He'll be term-limited out in 2028, and Trump or his kids will be around to tap the MAGA movement. Now is the time to replace Biden, and yet the only people who are running against him on my side of the aisle is an anti-vax almost MAGA idiot who is 69 years old himself, and a 71 year old woman I've never heard of until now, and a convicted felon, who, UNLIKE the clowns over on Team Red, is NOWHERE near sniffing any qualification to be considered a major candidate. Hell, Biden isn't even interested in shifting gears on his Veep, meaning the person with the largest chance of getting the Dem nomination in 2028 is Kamala Harris, who will be 63 when she starts her term in office, and is as huge of a question mark as anyone else on the Dem side. I think this is a huge part of why Biden is running in 2020 rather than handing things off. Nobody is rising the ranks below him. Nobody is making the effort to get themselves in front of Americans, and speak to issues that affect ALL Americans, and thus we don't have a ready POTUS candidate. If that isn't fixed by 2028, even if Biden wins in 2024, we're going to leave an opportunity for a Trump to slide into office then.
Beto maybe?
