Listen, say what you will about whether you think Biden should drop out, but this cover is some journalists using the opportunity to try to normalize some pretty fucked up stuff they believed already.
I believe because of stigma from BS like this that lots of people who should use devices like this don’t and then fall. Normalize using what you need! This absolutely sucks. The political media is just embarrassing themselves so much the last week.
I mean, there's a legit worry about the prevalence of gerontocracy, yes. This ain't the way to point that out. Also, the fact that they conveniently hand wave the fact that the Orange Shitgibbon is even more brainrotted is the icing on the shit cake.
Ageism aside, we've been languishing under a gerontocracy for literally decades. And now, suddenly, The Times is "very concerned" but oddly only about one single candidate instead of the whole f*kn thing!
As an ancient with physical problems it is alarming to me how one bad debate has led to this discussion where normal aging processes are now treated as disqualifications.
