I have never seen a better example of the bored punditry pretending two ideas cannot exist in people’s heads at the same time than “biden is too old to run” and “I don’t care that biden is too old to run if that’s all you’re gonna offer me”

Both ideas exist in my non pundit mind. Dump Biden for Harris*? Sounds complicated. Elect Biden, then give Harris the keys later? Hard for different reasons. But the outcome is President Harris regardless and I don’t care when. *ditching Harris is suicide IMO.

Has anyone done the comparison with Reagan yet? As in, a man who was barely coherent (or awake) for most of his Presidency, to the extent that it was a worldwide joke. And he still got re-elected.

And it's against Trump of all people. "Not Trump" is about as deep as many people are willing to go when presented with another 4 years of him.

I thought he was too old to run in 2020 and if I could cast a ballot for him today and then stick my fingers in my ears until November I would.

How about *yes of course Trump lied but there's nothing we can do but accept it*?

We really should address the fact that our political pundit class is staffed by people who by and large cannot hold two thoughts in their heads and have the memory of a goldfish.

I would guess if you asked Biden he would agree w/his age but has a plausible argument that he's the best candidate.
