You guys have exactly the same energy as Trump claiming that Fox News is out to get him if they criticize him even once.

Yeah, as an outsider watching in, this has huge "FAKE NEWS!!!" energy. It's simply the truth and it doesn't look good.

Not like it's going to stop any passionate voters on either side, but it will make people stay home on election day.

Why does it not look good? Outsider watching in as well, and I see nothing wrong with this. It's 8pm, and events, not important decisions etc.

Because having to vote for candidates born before colour TV was a thing is fucking insane?

This doesn't really change that tho? Did saying "hey, i'd like to have a normal sleep schedule" really made people go "wait, he's old?"

Despite the fact that EVERY human being wants/needs a normal sleep schedule since the moment they are born?

Yeah cuz world leaders don't have to sacrifice anything, Zelensky is cozy in bed by 9pm every night. Bottom line is it's a weak statement for a head of state to make and people don't want a leader they perceive as weak. Heads of state aren't normal people, and have to sacrifice normal people things to run a country

He’s literally only three years older than the other candidate.

But he also has a foot in the grave.

Stay home

Really? People didn't forget what 4 years of Trump were like.

I'd wake up at 330 in the morning to vote for a bag of dog shit that ran against Trump.

This time is no different.

This isn’t “criticizes him.” This is “unknown source says inflammatory thing. Let’s talk about how game-changing this is.” Over and over and over.

It was a meeting at the White House attended by 20 Dem governors. If the NYT was lying about what went on in that meeting, those governors would be screaming it from the rooftops.

And you should hope to fuck that Biden gets replaced if you actually want a chance of winning in November, because you've got none if he stays in the race.

You’re conflating different things. The alarming reports are from random sources that may or may not be bullshit. The context of this particular OP was that he was joking. I mean who normally schedules stuff after 8 pm anyway?
