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!
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.
I'm pretty sure the only options are losing democracy, just at different rates. Not to say don't vote or whatever the libs think people complaining about Biden mean, it's stupid i gotta clarify that but whatever.
We’ve been fine for the last four years. I don’t know why everyone thinks Biden can’t do it. Sure… He sucks. Dude is essentially a stale fart forgotten in a mason jar compared to nearly…. Anyone else, but this is where we are now. Becasue the system doesn’t get fixed when people only pay attention one year out of every four.
And it’s certainly not helped when those same people think that not voting is somehow going to bring about change.
Seriously… try and imagine that-
Imagine what it takes to Think that doing nothing at all for three years, then whining online and urging people to do nothing during an election, and thinking…. “Yep! That’ll show-em! That’ll change shit! For sure!
Not to mention that people are complaining about one candidate being old… verses another that is ALSO old, and a treasonous felon and a convicted rapist that will destroy democracy with Project 2025.
And the as people telling us not to vote- think these two men are the same.
They’re not.
