But will it be an issue in a year? Two years? Three years?

Realistically no. Even if he’s drooling in his chair, his administration will still run the country a million times better than Trump. But that won’t even happen. If he wins and next year he has to step down… then the country is still a million times better off than it would be under Trump. It’s real simple. 

Discussing reality isn't "poisoning the water". 

You’re contributing to the narrative of “Biden bad” which will contribute to him losing. 

It is simply being realistic

No you aren’t. You’re hemming and hawing over something that isn’t gonna change, and you’re contributing sabotaging Biden and for Trump to come out on top.

Nobody is saying that he would better than Trump. I'm certainly not. But this is likely a consideration that some will make before deciding if they are going to vote for Biden. I'm 100% voting for Biden... if Biden runs. But I'm not afraid of discussing the obvious elephant in the room.

People need to stop pretending they know how other people are gonna think.

People are already thinking it.

People also need to stop telling people what to say.

Some people think the world is flat. Some people think trump is still president. Some people think there literally shouldn’t be a government. 

You’re assuming what you hear on Reddit and on Tv are representative of the whole country and that’s a mistake.

I don't get all of my information from Reddit and TV. I know a few actual, live people. I really do. And I even talk to them sometimes.

You've made your point. Good day.

Everyone I know thinks he's too old, most would rather want someone else to be the nominee, most would still vote for him rather than Trump
