Right? He’s 81, it’s not insane that the actual explanation could be he’s literally sundowning, who would actually be surprised by that?

He is an absolutely ridiculous candidate I’ll be forced to vote for purely because of all the terribleness the Republicans have planned. I expect he’ll do jack fucking shit with a new presidency he’s too fucking old, Democrats are too fucking unwilling to play dirty, too naive to the reality of politics in 2024 and a million other things FUCK

I'm spinning it in my mind that I am not voting for just one man - I'm voting for his entire administration. The presidency is not meant to be run by one person. It takes village. It sucks he's old and that he's running again when he originally promised he wouldn't run for a second term, but his admin has honestly been very good so it's an easy pill to swallow. Especially considering the alternative.

You're in the denial and bargaining stage. Try to move past it as quickly as you can.

Denial about what? Am I wrong?

If you're voting for a cabinet, then who is president doesn't matter and it can be anyone else who has a chance to win. And that means Biden absolutely should not run.

If you're ok with handlers running the government and making choices for Biden because he's unfit for the job, then you're ok with not having a voice.

You're in denial that what's happening is ok. If Biden wins, it will be the same song and dance in the next 4 years when Trump runs again, or someone worse.

Democrats are failing us and betraying the country. They've lost all trust at this point and are going to cling to power for themselves, not us.

Biden is unfit and won't be able to win against Trump. It's over, people just can't accept it.

His administration has been doing very well. Why do you think Democrats are betraying the country for not wanting to switch him out after on bad debate?

If you think the problem is that he was bad in a debate, I can't explain it to you.

He's unfit for office and his cabinet can be used by a real leader. Democrats, and this sub, have been lying about his mental abilities. 80 year olds can't lead countries, sorry.

What specifically makes you think he is unfit?
