Speaking of Biden’s age, did you know that his opponent is a 78 year old rageaholic with the diet of an unsupervised 9 year old?
One is an out-and-out unapologetic fascist and the other is an old grandpa.
I'd rather have the old grandpa. The worst he could do is die.
Honestly, him dying is very real concern to me. If Republicans keep the House and he passes away, I can certainly see somebody trying to do something to Kamala Harris, as the Speaker of the House is next in line after the Vice President.
That said, I'd vote for Joe Biden if he was fucking 110, if the other option was Donald Trump. Or any Republican honestly.
I just wish any party could put forth a candidate actually worth voting for.
Hamburders VS. Ice Cream, man
Old > Fascist
This isn't even a question for me.
Don't forget that Donny is also old. So Old > Old Fascist.
But he's so much younger than Biden /s
It's sickening to me that after 7 years fascism is even still an option at all, not too mention one of the two electable parties in this country.
I suspect that what made it possible in the first place is difficult to fix in a short timeframe unless you lose a war and are discovered to have committed genocide on a massive scale.
I find it interesting the same people who complained about Biden's age in 2020 have nothing to say about Trump being that age for the next election.
And by "interesting" I mean "holy fuck, you all are in a cult and need to stop worshipping the orange-spray-tanned shitty-comb-over fascist."
What a non-issue. Yes, people are making a lot of hay out of Biden's age, but where's the evidence of his mental decline? He's always been a bad speaker, but I haven't yet seen evidence that he's forgotten where he is or that he's confusing issues like Trump.
Fine, we'd like younger candidates. That's fair. But that's not reason to call Biden's competence into question.
Bidens age is reason enough to challenge his competency just on the alone fact that science have proven that there is a large decline after I think 70. I do agree there needs to be an age limit for the president so I obviously hold a bias for that but as far as which way I lean I have no interest in that stuff.
Fine. His age is a reason to check. Which is why I ask for any other signs of mental decline. But the only evidence I've seen anyone put forward is his age, and that alone is not enough. As long as he remains competent as well as the incumbent, this line of criticism just boosts right-wing talking points.
Yeah, he's too old. So let's vote for the guy who's 3 years younger and screw the policies...
The determining factor is not age but competency
While I think the determining factor is if I want my kids to have a democracy.
The determining factor is not age but competency
If that were the case, Trump would never have won a race for local dog catcher, let alone POTUS.
Perhaps any candidate, irrespective of age, should undergo a trusted, impartial cognitive test as a condition of candidacy.
I think we need to establish a "skin in the game" rule for federal office. If your age exceeds the median life expectancy of the national populace at the time of the election, you are unqualified to serve. If you want to participate in shaping the future of the nation, you have to have a future yourself.
I’d rather old than fascist.
But, fucking hell, why can’t the fucking Democrats think farther out than one fucking election!?
Democrats have a great bench for the future, but not next year.
Can we just elect someone who's already dead at this point?
Because I think FDR's exhumed skeleton could get a lot more done than a mostly dead neoliberal like Biden.
Both the candidates are too damn old. The US is run by people who can't remember where they are. It's an utter disgrace.
I’ll take an old fart over a maniac sociopath.
the only people with questions about his age are the media who keep bringing up questions about his age
hell id take jimmy carter now than any of the republicans
Christ. My mom is 65 and can't be trusted to answer the phone without giving out her credit card and SSN.
"umm, yes, Mr Bidin, I'm calling from Microsoft regarding your iPod usage on the cloud, can I please get the launch codes for your nuclear devices for verification?"
At the very least we can be sure the iPhone he's undoubtedly using is the secured one provided by the government. Unlike the walking info hazard that was his predecessor.
