"We can't run stories about Trump being a fascist rapist, it's not news." "Why isn't it news?" "Well look at all the stories about Biden being old, clearly that's what people are interested in."

Reposting this. We have more evidence regarding Biden's physical & mental fitness. I'd recommend giving it the weekend & seeing what people are talking about Monday.

I think Biden has enough people around him to make sure stuff gets done. And if he eventually gets to the point that he really can't do the job and has to step down, I think Harris will be a perfectly competent president that I won't like a whole lot. All of this is still better than a dictator!

“You don’t accomplish anything by posting” is such a ridiculous & boring take. I have learned so much from so many people on social media just from them posting. I have shared that information with others. We have changed our behaviors based on information to impact communities & ourselves.

If for any reason Joe Biden can't complete a 2nd term, we know who will take over. Her name is Kamala Harris and America already voted for her once. If Donald Trump can't complete a 2nd term, we have no idea who will take over because he TRIED TO HAVE HIS LAST VP MURDERED.

Our elders are here with us today because they have endured great hardship and they have much wisdom to teach the rest of us and the fact the default American reaction to someone having their first wrinkle is to treat them as a lobotomite, much less how they act towards real elders, is vile.

Biden being old is baked in and always has been. The party had plenty of opportunities to dump him 14 months ago. Doing this now, in response to a media narrative, makes them look like venal, craven fools

The GOP’s nominee to run the 9th most populous state just called for killing people who disagree with the far-right and that sentiment was echoed by the head of Heritage and the man behind Project 2025. But like 90% of all political news is about Democratic hand-wringing over Biden’s debate flop.

In Wisconsin today he explicitly said it would be anti-democratic for him to quit when so many had voted for him. I think that's exactly right, and don't think he'll be moveable if he views those as the stakes.

Biden's biggest fundamental problem is that if the press is fully resolved to disqualify him on unfair, ableist grounds, that's just as immovable as his refusal to quit.

Normally a scandal like this involves a mistake or a revelation of bad conduct. The obvious response is to do some kind of penance, to promise not to do it again, to agree to rehab, etc. But the mere fact of being old is something Biden can neither avoid nor remedy.

Completely true unless time and causality move linearly from past to present. If it does it’s remarkably difficult for subsequent actions to reach back and cause previous ones.
