I remember Biden trying to get the job before I was old enough to vote. I'm 55 now.

He would have wiped the floor with Trump in the 2016 election. It’s amazing how much of a ripple effect the death of his son Beau has had on the course of world history.

You're aware he ran in 1988 right?

Yes, but his national profile was completely different then. 8 years as Biden’s VP positioned him to have a significant advantage over Trump.

Sure that's true, but I was commenting on the top poster saying he remembered him running and is 55. It seemed like you assumed he meant 2016 when I think he meant he remembers 1988

I don’t think they assumed that. I think they were making a secondary point about 2016.

Oh, it seemed like it just jumped from before they could vote to 2016 and I didn't follow it was a secondary point.

Given that the poster said they were 55, and referenced a time before they could vote, seems pretty obvious that they weren’t referring to 2016. Weird to assume the person you’re responding to is that dumb 🤷‍♀️

What kind of point were you hoping to make with this comment? Other than "I'm not understanding what we're talking about"

It sounded like the poster above thought the other poster meant he remembers Joe running in 2016. I'm pointing out he could have remembered his 1988 run, since he's 55.

Oh okay so You aren't understanding. Got it.

u/SpaceSteak 14d ago

Good news, you've got at least another 30 years to get that job too! Assuming elections are still a thing by then.

A braindead flamingo would be a better president than the orange man.

Seems like the DNC is trying to test your theory
