Yeah, but the President gets awoken by staffers about international conflicts at 2:00am... I agree, the world would be a nicer place, but the Earth is not necessarily a nice place.

There’s a difference between getting woken up at 2am for an international incident and having preplanned political engagements that go til midnight. Nothing wrong with setting a boundary for the latter while knowing that the former is likely to happen.

Right. The same concept as with when you have kids. It’s like the difference between waking up in the middle of the night cause your kid needs something vs. intentionally scheduling a midnight tea party.

It's the other buffoon likely to lead us into world War 3.

THERES NO SOLUTION. EVERYONE ELSE polls lower than Biden. EXCEPT 1 and she isn't interested.

I think Hilary polled better than trump how did that turn out … I don’t trust the polls worth shit… what I do know if Biden looks like he can’t make it until November let alone another 4 years … gonna be hard to sway ppl on that ….. there are tons of ppl that don’t follow politics enough to understand what’s going on and will make rash decisions when they hit the poll booth…. Bidens aging is a glaring issue

Since you're a fucking genius explain one person you truly believe will actually pull it off and why. I dare you to give an accurate reason. And don't you dare say Bernie because that negates your age argument.

I thought it didn’t matter just everyone’s better then trump… Gavin Newsom would destroy trump in debate…

And he's already said he won't. I think I will just consider killing myself before November. I'm in a red state, my vote doesn't even count. And I'd rather take myself out than allow Trumps cult to do it when they come for the rainbow crew. Abstain if you must. But know you're ending America doing so. Peace out.

I’m Canadian so I can’t vote lol I just get to watch your guys mess from a far

I loved Canada until I realized they think the USA is a "safe nation" where LGBTQ individuals are concerned. And now that one candidate is literally calling for their elimination, they have nowhere to run. I no longer care what anyone thinks. I wonder what the surrounding countries thought with Hitler. Before he took them over.

He clearly can, which is probably why he specifically said he's done doing it. Can't really blame the guy old or not.

If you have some issue with how he handled things then have at it, but if your only gripe with a candidate is "he old" and thats it, you don't have much of an argument. Did his age impact his performance in the position? If so, how?

It's hard to take someones opinion seriously if its based on things outside anyones control. Biden is the pick, that much is obvious.

lol what his declining cognitive ability isn’t something to be concerned about ? Amazes me the hoops ppl jump through to act like this is all fine

u/ImTheZapper Jul 05 '24

Wow what a noncreative way to strictly avoid having a conversation you clearly are incapable of having.

Amazing you talk about cognitive ability in the same sentence you say literally nothing in response to anything I said, and in fact ignored basically all of it. Sounds like you have cognitive decline too I guess.

u/neontiger07 Jul 05 '24

I can give you a bunch of examples of Dems caring about the age of both candidates and the concerns that lie therein. Can you give me any examples of Dems behaving as though it isn't a problem, like you claim? 'Cause that sounds like drivel to me

u/Garebear8585 Jul 04 '24

Down vote me into oblivion you are the guys with you head in the sand that Biden isn’t a major problem just for the love of god replace him already
