Sanders will be 86 by the time of the next election.

We care about age now that we no longer have to pretend that biden is lucid.

Are you looking for another president who has to be wheeled onto the stage to repeat "and by the way" over and over for 90 minutes?

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You were happy with "we finally beat medicare" because he was far enough to the right for you.

I don't know what you're even trying to say, but if you're advocating for a president who would be 90 years old at the end of his first term you're a fucking idiot. So with that in mind, I don't care what you're trying to say.

I'm saying that "too old" means "too far to the left" and that the party would run a fucking mummy as long as it didn't want to raise the minimum wage or implement universal healthcare.

Ötzi/Imhotep 2028!

I'm saying that 86 is too old to run for president regardless of policies.

the party would run a fucking mummy as long as it didn't want to raise the minimum wage or implement universal healthcare.

I'm not the party so idk why you're giving me shit about this. Maybe spend your time bitching at Ken Martin or David Hogg instead.

The last couple of years have really opened my eyes as to how many Americans are just fucking morons with, like, monkey-level brains.

Quiet voice == losing his mind and not lucid.

Loud voice == strong leader!

oh Bidens only problem was a quiet voice, huh?

[–] SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social 1 points 20 hours ago

No, but he could maintain a train of thought for longer than 2 sentences.

And by the way and by the way and by the way and by the way and by the way and by the way and by the way I'm a better golfer than you

That's an interesting one: That dig requires a measure of empathy, a capability often diminished by dementia. Biden had to understand the mindset of his opponent to pick something that would get under his skin in particular. Boy howdy, did it work! The target was totally unable to recognize the bait, and brush it off.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 18 hours ago

Nah. He did a great job baiting trump in 2019 but in 2024 he wasn't on his game he wasn't even in the same city as his game. Trump essentially did brush that remark off, he basically just "no u"ed at it.

We finally beat medicare.
