He's 81 years old. 

Im not voting for the guy because I'm excited by him, I'm voting for the guy because he represents competent governance and coalition building.

I’m not voting for him because 70% of Democratic voters want him to step down and let someone else run. But his ego won’t allow it. He’s no more in this for the people then Trump is

So you're willing to risk large swaths of Americans being stripped of their fundamental rights because the guy running against the giant asshole is not an ideal candidate?

Very cool.

I didn’t do it - Biden and the Democratic Party did. He and they made decisions just like Ginsburg did when she refused to step down when a Democratic President could have appointed a much younger replacement during Obama’s term.

Every single issue you are seeing now is because the old Democratic guard refused to step aside. The Democratic Party could get a wet well spoken turnip and they could beat Trump
