The thing about Joe Biden being an elderly man with a poor memory is that his likely opponent is an elderly man with a poor memory who has been indicted for 91 felonies and found liable for rape
The whole "elderly man with poor memory" argument is trying to get voters to abstain. It likely is subversive influence: Trump is the best president for foreign actors as he is easy to manipulate due to current lawsuits and loss of assets. Biden is the better available option for US citizens.
Seriously, age should be a non-issue at this point. Same for immigration, since neither party is going to "fix it." I do find the amount of work, travel, task-juggling, etc. Biden does on a daily basis is quite remarkable for a man his age.
While it is important to consider the age and cognitive abilities of political candidates, it is equally important to focus on the facts and evidence surrounding their actions and behavior. It is crucial to engage in fair and
I would feel better to know that the Ds had a solid pick for VP, for when Biden succumbs to age or accident. I like the progressive stuff Biden does. I view Kamala Harris as “not as regressive as the (R)s”.
Also Biden exercises and probably eats food with some sort of nutrition (with the occasional ice cream), while the opponent of America exercises the Summon Diet Coke button, the Super Size option, …
Unfortunately popular slogans repeated often win elections as history has shown. Surely it must be easier to prevent dictatorships than to get rid of one. Let´s see if the USA can show us how to.
Yes. But it doesn't need to be that way. Biden can always do the right thing and drop out. The people around him could stop being cowardly and confront him. We need to stop pretending Trump v Biden is the only option.
Trump delivered for billionaires like Jamie Dimon, which is why they tolerate his kayfabe populism, oxygen-sucking chaos and disdain for women and rule of law. They think they will benefit no matter how many guardrails Trump breaks.
Biden should go on the offensive here, use it as an excuse to challenge Trump to a substantive debate on specific policy matters. He'll obviously say no, forcing the press and everyone else to move on but not before reminding people that Trump is not only old but also a moron
Biden could be a tree stump and I'd vote for that over trump. My take: a good leader has good people in the right positions to make good decisions with the right checks and balances; while a bad leader thinks they make all the decisions but takes "no responsibility at all."
Not to mention that Trump is an autocrat wannabee that has empowered far right folks especially white supremacists.
When it comes down to policy, which should matter, the choice is so obvious.
That is true, but is the bench so thin on the Dems side that they can't find one, single non-old person to run for President? It's hard to mock the Republicans for voting for guy with dementia when the Dems guy is 81.
You can cure or engineer around incompetence (if you consider Biden impaired or incompetent) - it's not great, but you can. You can't engineer around evil.
Not to mention, all of Joe's gaffes are just simple misstatements that he realizes as such after the fact. Trump's gaffes are wild, incoherent word salads that he'll always double down on afterwards because he has the ego of a five year old.
The thing about his likely opponent being an elderly man with a poor memory who has been indicted for 91 felonies and found liable for rape is that a very large number of voters actually like that about him and don't care who knows it.
But he never did the WORST thing, which is saying "I don't recall" in a deposition, except for that one time when he did it 59 times in a row. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncn...
The other thing about all the performative hand-wringing and bed-wetting about Joe Biden's age and memory impeding his Presidency are so often people who can't remember recent events like hospitals being shelled in Gaza and the domestic terror attack on the Capitol on January 6th 2021.
Right? Plus his cabinet is young, diverse, and dynamic. You can’t ignore the cabinet. I would be a whole lot more concerned if they were also old enablers.
Biden may be elderly and have a failing memory, but he has a fantastic team.
Trump may be elderly and have a failing mind, but he has...can I openly use such terminology without getting the Adult Content tag?
Neither of them are good options. That’s the point. Trump will be re-elected because Biden can’t hold the job and Kamala will tank the country. Everyone needs to vote to find a better option.
We actually don’t know the status of Biden’s memory. He hasn’t been evaluated by a psychologist or neuropsychologist. A DOJ investigator is not a memory expert, so I take the guy’s opinions with a grain of salt. Like asking a mechanic to talk about whether someone might have a brain tumor or not.
Elected once, impeached twice. Cheated on 3 wives, may have murdered one. Bankrupted six casinos. Three of 5 children convicted of fraud. Spent 307 days of term golfing at public expense...
Oh, and is a drug addled, narcissistic, fascist monkey.
Biden's mummified corpse would be better qualified.
He also won't be appointing goons like Kash Patel and Michael Flynn to key administration roles.
Biden may have the occasional senior moment, but he's running a professional administration in which competent people want to work.
Trump, apart from being a criminal, has chased off all but the dregs.
So you're saying that the husk of American democracy has all but completed the process of rotting from the inside, and that we can now see this reflected on the outward face, as it becomes less and less necessary to maintain the illusion?
I’ll take a U.S. President with a crap memory over an U.S. king/dictator with a crap memory and black soul any day if—unfortunately—those are my only choices.
I’m 74. I write R code. I do Duolingo everyday. I read books. Often I’m not able to retrieve someone’s name on the first try even though I remember their whole biography. Biden is fine. Meanwhile Trump seems like he’s going to collapse into utter gibberish at any moment.
Trump is totally incompetent and unstable, like his MAGA supporters!!! Their time of extinction is quickly drawing near!!! Many people are fed up with not only them but also with far left extremists who hate Biden also!! Their refusing to vote for Biden in 2020 almost cost democrats the election!!!!
Imma go with the old dude who’s kind, and has one of the most dynamic VPs in more than 100 years, over the nutjob racist rapey traitor who steals nuclear secrets after blowing Putin and cuddling with MbS and his creepy “orb.”
These are not hard choices.
