    That is what you got from his post? And you are suppose to be a teacher? No wonder you have the issues you do.

    And it's okay to realize that not only does the other guy do the same thing, but he does it more often and far worse. This age thing oddly only comes up with Biden while the other guy is constantly in need of taking dementia tests to the point where he thinks he's taking intelligence tests and "winning", shits himself enough that people know his smell, needs two hands to drink water, and I can keep going.

    These two are old, no doubt, but isn't weird how the focus is on Biden for an investigation they couldn't get anything on him so they oddly just said he'd get away with it even if he did do something and even though they are only about three years apart only one we have to worry about their age?

    If that sort of things really matters to you, I guess that's something. Could also be that Trump hasn't worked a day in his life and stress has never actually affected his physical well being. If it wasn't for the comb over he's had for the past couple decades, the constant fake tan he has, and the likely team of people he has had doing his look for years and years he'd look just as bad, if not worse.

    I never said that it mattered to me but it does matter to the general population and obviously Biden since he freaked out and had a press conference over it.

    Being on the spectrum, I fail to see that as a fault. In any event, I look for leaders I can follow intellectually.

    And like I said. Even if that all were true, he’d still be preferable to Trump.

    Calling Obama a “less divisive” candidate sure is one way of admitting you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about, lol.

    It is true, and I doubt anyone sensible is saying that it makes Trump the better option.

    He is rapidly declining right in front of us. It's borderline elder abuse IMO. Absolutely no way he would finish another 4 years, and a better than 50% chance he may not make it to November.

    @btlcryct - "With us, or against us."
    Welcome to this forum where a ne..., ahemm, gamer calls you an asshole because you did not vote, nor did tens of millions of others thus ascertaining his superiority over them and Elegiac adding to this claiming that you basically have to for vote Democrats only as everything else is worthless.

    Do you people even listen to yourselves...? Rhetorical question, mirrors have become a deficit item.
    P.S.
    Btw. Elegiac - economic value? Yeah, ok, bubble of service economy and the trillion dollar overblown capitalizations of likes of Apple/Amazon,etc. sure does give pretty numbers. Just do not look over the pond xD

    Noticing a distinct lack of you offering any actual counter to that argument besides declaring that it's ridiculous.

    "The economy isn't big in a way that's convenient to my beliefs therefore it isn't really big" is such a bullshit sour grapes argument dude, do better.

    Please do explain how this is the position of a "Dem cultist", then:

    The Democrats "will do" because they are the structural element within which necessary reform is possible, as opposed to the Republicans being the structural element dedicated entirely to obstruction.

    I tell you what, champ.


    Get Trump to drop out of the running for the exact same reasoning, and then we'll see about nixing Biden.

    It's weird because Democrats are largely just resigned to the reality that Biden is, at worst, the less-bad choice we will be presented with in November. But that's apparently a cult.

    Meanwhile Donald is telling his cult followers insane shit on the daily and they believe it and are excited to vote for a guy who also won the 2020 election but had it stolen from him.

    The projection continues to be weird.

    Ikr? Bitches really out here thinking they fell out of a coconut tree when they exist in the context of all in which they live and came before them.

    The vast majority of the folks here have been saying that, while there's no real evidence of actual dementia despite ramblings of the GOP to the contrary, Biden's not their favorite choice. He is, however, still a few orders of magnitude better than Trump to have in office and considering he actually surrounds himself with competent staff as opposed to Trump it is far preferable for him to win a second term than Trump--who has shown more signs of actual dementia than Biden has.

    Just because people push back on your dumbass comments that doesn't mean the're "all in" on Biden or the Democrats. And the fact that one of your only cheerleaders here is an armchair general who is consistently wrong says loads.

    And even if they did have comparable levels of mental difficulties, one surrounds himself with competent people that try to do their job. The other is a vindictive, narcissistic, asshole that surrounds himself with money grubbing yes-men. It's not hard to pick between the two for someone with any sense of actual empathy or understanding of how the world works.

    EDIT: I do also just love this general re-using of terms they hear without understanding the required context or nuance needed. The whole kindergarten "I know you are, but what am I" attitude is a great touch.

    Like Trump has done without signing legislation that he made a big spectacle of setting up a press conference for, or wandering around a motorcade because he didn't know which car to go to even though the Secret Service was shuffling his fat ass to it.

    Biden is healthier than Trump, Trump literally has been wearing diapers since the Apprentice as far as we know.
