    But sadly, this doesn’t stop Biden from being old, which is somehow- WAY worse. Even when you compile everything together that makes Trump a human shaped sack of shit- we’re ignorantly still supposed to choose him over…. oLd!

      I’m pretty sure everyone on this platform will vote for Biden. There are swing voters out there that won’t.

      How we vote, ultimately, doesn’t matter. It’s those handful of fools in the 15 or 16 important counties of swing states that matter. Right now the polls say they’re sitting this one out or voting Trump.

      Dismissing the old commentary is how democracy dies.

      Says who? Personally I’m concerned Biden will lose to Trump which is why I’m hoping he’ll step back - but I’m absolutely going to vote for Biden if the choice is Biden or Trump.

        I’d vote for that clump of laundry at the bottom of your hamper that you’ve been meaning to hand wash for the past year, but never make time for, rather than vote for Trump.

      because being concerned that Biden can’t beat trump makes you a trump voter.

      to be candid, it’s not that he’s old, even if that’s what’s ultimately causing the problems people are concerned by. It’s that he’s having trouble communicating things. He’s really only had 3 campaign events that have gotten wide attention. (does any one have a list of those 20 events he mentioned? cuz, I’m not seeing them and I’m not really in the mood to troll his schedule.)

      There’s the debate. which was a clusterfuck of epic proportions. Then there was the interview that was… like… not good. and then there was the NATO press conference which mostly sucked.

      Every single one of them had gaffs. every single one of them had rambling semi-coherent thoughts at various points. and all this is outright ignoring the speech impediment/stutter. (which definitely seems more pronounced…), and then there’s the whole “I’ve met with the best doctors…”

      Remember Trump’s “person, woman, man, camera, tv” moment? part of the reason that’s hilariously not proof he’s okay is simply because they only do cognitive tests if there’s already signs of cognitive decline or a reason to suspect there might be any how.. Granted, I don’t know what “tests” they conducted. it could have been routine visits. but if he’s being referred to specialists… it’s because there’s good reason to refer him to specialists.

      it doesn’t matter. I don’t think he has the ability to inspire and motivate Americans to get out and vote. He’s just another geriatric white guy telling us all what to do. been there. done that. whatevs.

      And I really don’t think he has the personality and temperament to actually respond to trump’s campaign strategy. which is built around hate, intolerance and mocking his opponent.

        We’re not voting for the man- we’re voting for the administration. We’re voting AGAINST Trump, not FOR Biden.

        We’re not getting a good candidate. It’s the eleventh hour. It’s not happening. We missed out chance when everyone slept for the past four years. It’s Biden, or lose American democracy now. Those are the choices.
