Which gets to me to a huge issue that is connected to but distinct from the question of age. Elections are about the future. They're about where we're going. Trump's argument about the future is very literally a time-machine to 2019, before covid. That's the argument in a nutshell. Let's go back

No, his message has ALWAYS been to go back to at least the 1950s before the Civil Rights Acts when "those people" knew their place.

I mean the 2016 campaign was about a time machine to 1950 so I think this is pretty progressive for Trump

This is bullshit. Project 2025 (any chance you’ll ever cover that?) is a Time Machine to the 1940s.

The polling showing Trump pulling ahead since the debate just defies logic, there are too many important issues to let Tired Biden be the determining factor.

Not sure I follow. Trump doesn’t want us to go into the future, but the past. Biden doesn’t want us to go back to the craziness of Trump’s term, specifically 2020 & Jan 6, but instead build things like infrastructure. That’s what a lot of his commercials have been about

In many ways FDR's social, labor agenda was about the future. In other ways not: Japanese/American families put in camps, Black Americans not given their rights, but he did step into the future and Nixon & Regan tore it apart. Even DDE a Repug POTUS signed the Civil Rights Act.

Which is obviously not future-oriented! But it's a kind of alternate reality future. I do think whatever happens with this period and whether it's Biden or someone else, a vision of what's over the horizon is pretty important and has been a bit absent in this campaign.

Elections are not about who is better and deserves to win … it’s about who will win. There are a lot of people who believe the felon is the better choice. There are a lot fewer people who think the decent old guy is the better choice. Reminder: Hillary was capable and qualified. And she lost.

One could even posit that Trump's arguments are about a time machine to 1930s Germany.

2019 is definitely not the year they’ve been arguing to send us back to.

Elections are about the future! Honestly, I am not worried about Biden too far into 2025, but by 2028 he will be 86 and that scares me after seeing elders at that age just turn into wisps of themselves.

Trump and Republicans want to return to the 19th century.
