Or, if you ever listened to some of us, we actually like Biden. And I was bummed when he got the nom in 2020, but I have been happily proven wrong. If you ever got out of your bubble, if the “HES OLDDDD” media ever got out of their bubble, you might know this. There’s at least ten of us around the internet, but no one represents our opinions and when we share them, we’re accused of “talking ourselves into believing” things. No. I looked at the evidence.

+1 I am OP and I like Biden. I like him as a person, and as a president. I am not holding my nose to vote for him. I like him.

^ But maybe that will change after I learn that he is old. I didn't know he was so old when I first found myself liking him.

But why is this not being discussed anywhere?

Because people don’t want to be wrong. He was mildly compromised when he was elected in 2020. Any unbiased person who has followed politics (and therefore Biden’s career) for any length of time could tell he was not the man he had been. But the loyal followers refused to acknowledge it at all. They wouldn’t say “Biden may be feeling his age but he is still better than Trump.” Instead they said “it’s a stutter!!!” or “he is 100% and the most sharp and vigorous man in history.” They lied to themselves, their families, the press, to everyone. They lied!! And some dumb dumbs who don’t follow politics believed them. Well now the dumb dumbs refuse to be snookered anymore. But none of them will admit in public that they are the liars or that they were the lied to. People don’t like to look foolish. It is truly the emperors new clothes on display. My children can tell Biden is diminished and just like in the fable, the kids don’t know they are supposed to lie. And in polls people don’t lie.

I am so gd tired of hearing about Biden's age. He is doing a great job as president - and, perhaps most importantly, he is NOT Trump.

The Times also thinks the resistance is burned out. I really resist the idea that the Times is actively trying to usher in another Trump presidency, gd forbid, but sometimes it feels that way.

We're all burned out. We're all exhausted. But I think you will find us crawling over glass to make sure Trump does not get into the WH again.

And yeah yeah yeah, I know you're about to come back with "genocide!" and "the border" and "aliens" or whatever - and I do not care.

The slate article is stupid. Gaslighting Americans into voting for an incapacitated man because his unelected aides can run the day to day is not convincing.

Biden's sure passed a lot of HUGE BIPARTISAN legislation to be incapacitated. Sorry for you that he just keeps winning. But let's play that it's his unelected aides, wont they still be there in 2024?

If the fate of democracy is at stake, you need a President people have confidence in. Not just their aides running the show.

I just don't understand why the media is so afraid to say that he's old. When will the media get brave enough to force this truth on the American people?

The people have not been adequately informed that Biden is old and that that is the biggest crime a person can commit. And after I leave this thread, I will not know that Biden is old. Even though he’s gotten more legislation passed, despite having uniquely strong legislative headwinds, than any of his predecessors. No one is talking about Biden’s age nearly as much as they’re talking about Trump’s treason against his own country.

Exactly. Which is why I fear a Trump presidency so much--I have zero confidence in his intellectual or governing abilities or his willingness to do the right thing AND absolutely no confidence in the sort of people that he will hire as aides. Given that a lot of the day-to-day work is done by aides, who does anyone imagine would agree to work for the WH or Trump administration given what happened the first time around? There won't be any more "adults in the room"--it'll just be a bunch of cray crays whose main qualification will be 100 percent loyalty to Trump. What normal person would want to work for him?

Biden is old? Really?
I thought it was early onset Alzheimers.

I think you’re thinking of Trump. There was talk about him showing signs of early onset Alzheimers years ago, probably because his father had it too.

I think there should a maximum age just as there's a minimum age to be president. I think capping it at 65 to run, so out of office by 70 is reasonable. That gives a 35 year age span to be president.

No, I am talking about Biden.
A lot of people have been wondering about his cognitive issues for some time now.

Joe Biden is no longer mentally well enough to be president

And, it is not really his age as much as it is his cognitive decline.
You won't believe that either. All you have to do is compare his speeches from 4 years ago to his speeches today. But you won't do that either.

Thanks for telling me what I will and won't do! I'm looking at results. And I am VERY happy with those results under a Biden presidency. I honestly don't give two f***s what you think he sounds like during speeches. He's done a good job. And he is NOT Trump - who you dummies were stupid enough to nominate again.

I guess the thing is - did you know Biden is old? I didn't know! I just had no idea until I saw yet another story talking about him being old.

The funny thing is it is Democrats who are dumpting Biden and his brand. Looks like you did not receive the memo. Subscribe for some DNC updates.

They are setting the stage for Biden not receiving the nomination at the convention despite him winning the primary. Biden will soon be told he will either swallow his pride and quietly exit on his terms or be humiliated at the convention but he will not be the nominee.

No one asked for you to give us a play-by-play of your dream last night.

Absent a major medical emergency or Trump withdrawing from the GOP ticket, Biden will be on the ballot as POTUS candidate in November.

What I find really interesting is that if Trump leave the GOP ticket, Biden will likely do the same.

However, if Biden has to leave to Democratic ticket (due to a health issue), there is zero chance that Trump also withdraws. Trump is going to ride this dragon until the end.

Biden will not be the nominee. My money is on Whitmer as POTUS nominee and a male POC from the south as the VP nom.

WHY CAN't the republicans do that to TURMIP?

The DNC is much more powerful infra-party than the RNC.

+1, does anyone remember how many chiefs of staff and secretaries Trump went through? And you think it's going to get better with all of the non-MAGAs (and competent ones) now exiled for "disloyalty"? Come on, people. Just look at all of the people that resigned under pressure under Trump last time: https://www.brookings.edu/articles/tracking-turnover-in-the-trump-administration/
