It’s definitely an issue that’s not going away. The DNC really needs to figure it out and stop pretending that it doesn’t matter to voters.
The alternative being a ~4 years younger criminal without any morals.
How about another Dem which Biden backs and fully promotes?
It doesn’t have to be a Hobson’s choice of dinosaurs, the Dems are forcing this situation upon America. It’s not too late for someone else to step in.
Biden: #PleaseDropOut
Actual subtitle:
The Quinnipiac University poll showed that 49 percent of registered voters support Biden and 45 percent support Trump, but 67 percent said the 81-year-old president is too old to serve another term.
So who are they going to vote for?
The couch is who Biden is fighting against.
The couch is who Biden is fighting against.
I’m sorry, what? Biden is fighting against a couch?
Meaning voters that will just stay home. You have to inspire voters to the voting booth.
Didn’t you say elsewhere in this thread that Biden will be replaced at the convention anyway?
Yes, that’s why they will replace him at the convention. What do you think is going to happen once the voters actually start paying attention and Biden HAS to hit the campaign trail? They’re going to see Biden now compared to just 3 years ago and think “holy crap what happened to him?!”
You have to admit Biden now does not have the same energy as Biden from 3 years ago. POTUS is one of the most demanding jobs in the world and it’s already taken its toll on him.
Okay… if he’s going to be replaced anyway, why does this matter?
Why does what matter?
10% don’t realize Trump is only 4 years younger…
Another day another post by OP bashing Bidens age.
Do you deny Biden’s age is a factor for voters?
Not a big enough issue to go and try to replace him with like 8 months to go before the election. Who, exactly, is a better fit?
They’re going to Newsom him.
Way too old. Way too genocidal. What too owned by corporations. Way too everything except not trump. This is what US freedom feels like boys and girls. Take a long deep breath of that late stage capitalism and know if ‘things’ can’t make you happy you’re fucked… but have you tried the pop rock oreos?
If this was the most important election of our lifetimes, like they claim, they would have spent the money and resources to primary Biden with someone worthy of winning.
Running a primary against a sitting president is a fast road to losing the election.
They need to reearn their position with every election, that’s why it’s a separate term. Refusing to primary is undemocratic and prevents accountability. They are not entitled to 2 full terms unless they’ve earned them
That’s never been the way it has worked. The sitting president for either party is the candidate unless they choose otherwise. See Johnson in '68.
The last time a sitting President had a serious primary challenger, Carter in 1980, they lost in a landslide.
The reasoning is simple:
If a sitting President doesn’t have the confidence of the party, they don’t have the confidence of the voters either.
All the polling shows voters dont have confidence in him, the DNC in their arrogant hubris does have confidence because they believe they are entitled to every vote not Republican. And the disenfranchised will vote for Biden regardless of what he’s done. Liberals claimed they could hold him accountable after the election in 2020, and making him earn votes is one way of doing it
No, the polling is only asking and reporting half the question:
“Do you think Biden is too old to be President?”
Yes, anyone with half a brain should think that.
“Will you vote for him anyway?”
If the alternative is Trump? Yes.
That is a completely disingenuous reply. All of the polling lists every single question that was asked, what demographic it was asked of, and the results of those questions in the methodology used.
It largely depends on the poll, but the reporting is often faulty as well.
If your house is on fire and two elderly firefighters show up-- one with a hose and the other with a can of gas-- it’s not a hard decision who’s the man for the job.
have you had to take care of an elderly relative before?
we do
would not trust either of the two firefighters and would question if their was a fire
my grandfather is Biden’s age and yes age does mean something though it does not mean do not respect the elderly and their accomplishments and life achievements
body does age and it is not in the same condition from birth until you die and Trump and Biden are no different not to mention the two both have piss poor resumes
need to equip and train and educate younger generations to take to lead at a certain point
<.< Are you saying you’d let your house burn down instead of picking one of the two firemen?
Like, good on you for having a stance. But this seems like the “I refuse to choose” answer with a long winded explanation behind it. In which case you house burns down.
lot different on my end with bipartisan laws and policies taking my right to vote away so yes would have to let the house burn down because not allowed to use the service
I’m 43 and I’m not sure you’d want me on a fire hose either.
I’ve helped care for multiple older adults though between mine and my wives families. and there’s a lot of variability in that age group. My wife’s dad just passed away at 64, his dad passed away last year at 95 and was super fit and clear minded until cancer started to beat his ass in 2020 and his mom is 87 and and walks miles each day and is incredibly fit and active and mentally sharp.
At that age, it’s quite possible for some older adults to still be incredibly capable of some strenuous activity, but those aren’t the ones eating hamberders and diet coke every meal.
Well said.
For those who don’t want to click through:
If your house is on fire and two elderly firefighters show up-- one with a hose and the other with a can of gas-- it’s not a hard decision who’s the man for the job.
In the end your house still burns down because the old fuck can’t handle the pressure of the hose, or figure out how to turn it on.
Not sure you’ve thought this out…
If someone brings you a hose while your house is on fire, you can use the hose to put the fire out yourself.
If all they bring is gasoline, you’re fucked.
Yes yes, I know, “but Genocide Joe.”
If he dies in office, and he’s unlikely to, that’s what VPs are for.
in Biden’s case it is a former prosecutor not to even mention Trump’s VP
too old
too many failed campaign promises such as minimum wage, national healthcare, police reform, worker’s rights, cannabis reform, etcetera
too loud on the wrong issues and too silent on the right issues
too Catholic to defend things like Roe vs Wade
if the vice president did have to take over due to Biden’s health going south would not want a former prosecutor running the country
but hey not allowed to vote thanks to laws and policies Democrats and Republicans both worked on
and calling people out because they do not want Trump or Biden and saying they support fascism for not voting Biden is going too far and is what is wrong in the US
football politics - my team, my color, my letter fuck your team and everyone not on my team cause they suck
what about candidates with an actual resume showing achievements or past accomplishments or what kind of education path did they take or some story explaining why they care to be president
2024
“My name is not Trump and my color is blue and my letter is D.”
versus
“My name is not Biden and my color is red and my letter is R.”
He is so old he used to sniff Betsy Ross’s hair inappropriately.
Edit: He is so old he used to hug Alice Roosevelt for too long.
He is so old he groped Martha Washington.
Do sarcasm better please.
