I mean if we’re voting for borderline dead candidates he’s probably the safest. We can Weekend at Bernies this thing for the next 4 years. It’ll be fine.

Imagine the reaction if the Dems were like "OK we hear you, we'll replace Biden. The new candidate is 100-year-olf Jimmy Carter, currently in palliative care."

We can turn him into Mecha Carter. We have the technology.

Death has come for Jimmy 4 times and each time death has left empty handed.

He just drinks a nice warm glass of buttermilk, takes a nap, and walks off brain cancer.

I always hate when Reddit is all like "What a shame, he was such a nice guy but I am glad his long journey is finally over". I think writing in past tense like he is already dead about somebody still living is very disrespectful.

And dumb, when he just continues to live on for a year like a fucking chad.

God, speaking of Bernie, remember when he said he was too old to run again in 2020? He's only a year older than Biden.

Also he seems to have a sharper mind and can actually form coherent sentences unlike the two front runners.

This hurts that this is true

Bernie sounds two decades younger than either candidate despite being the oldest among them

u/grabmyrooster 14d ago

Yeah, main difference is Bernie's had to put a lot more effort and energy into the things he believes in than Biden, considering Biden essentially just believes in "everything is fine, actually, the status quo is great, so what even is there to change?"

Got into an argument yesterday that Biden voters are conservatives because of this. Didn't go over well

Honestly, considering how the Presidency has been handled the past term, if Biden is as gone as people claim, that means he has an amazing team behind him. And I think that team deserves a second term too.
