I will say, if you put Reagan, Bush Senior, and Clinton into a blender and spat the result into a pre-Obama movie that features a POTUS, Biden would be pretty close. Jack.

This headline is written in the form of "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" It is totally trying to assume the age problem is real and then move onto other slanderous topics.
Reading between the lines, WSJ and NYT both really don't want him in office a second time. As for the actual presidential thing…

dude thinks it's still the 90s, his brain shuts down during a presser... but yeah his age isnt a problem. but somehow, according to blue maga (and hillary), it is a problem for trump tho, he's very old and senile.
stop doing cringe.
BUT HIS AGE…
Uh, yeah. Correct.
more like, but his talking to the dead, not being able to complete a short sentence, and not being able to find his way off the stage
So you're saying Trump is any better? Because those are about 90% our choices right now.
I'm not saying anything about Trump at all. I'm just pointing out the elephant in the room. The fact that Trump and Biden are your only choices should make you question how you ended up in that situation though.
Yeah, but it's practically pointless to bring it up IMHO, because if we're comparing elephants, the "elephant" of Biden's age (and I'm very much not convinced it's not 90% media clickbait having seen his's recent ProPublica interview) is much less terrifying than the entire freaking herd of elephants in the room whenever Trump enters.
Dementia, insurrection charges, sexual assault convictions, fraud trial, treasonous behavior, dictatorial aspirations—the dude is a walking nightmare for this country.
Biden maybe has mild issues with mental fog in the evenings and a vibrant and intelligent VP to back him up if the worst comes to pass. Trump, OTOH, is some kleptocracy shill who publicly talks about wanting to dismantle our democracy and never leave power again and hasn't even named a VP candidate yet (but you can bet they'll be an utterly spineless lickspittle after Pence shocked him by growing a pair right at the end). If he gets in office, we're pretty much screwed, period.
EDIT: Mind you, obviously I'd much rather be voting for someone like Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren or AOC, but since Hilary got unfairly bumped for the presidency, we got the Orange Terror instead, who proceeded to destabilize the country as much as possible during his term and here we are…
😂
lol at this article.
...as opposed to whom?
It's like saying as opposed to what when somebody points out that shit stinks
When the GOP has a candidate that isn't actively working to dismantle democracy, then we can talk. In the meantime the only people who are claiming Biden isn't "presidential" are Trumpettes who are grasping at imaginary problems to try and make their own candidate not sound like a literal shit stain.
it's adorable you think there's democracy to be dismantled
Jesus Christ bro reevaluate your life the democracy is weak asf yes but its better than for example China or russia
LMFAO in what way is it better exactly bro?
The real (inflation-adjusted) incomes of the poorest half of the Chinese population increased by more than four hundred percent from 1978 to 2015, while real incomes of the poorest half of the US population actually declined during the same time period. https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w23119/w23119.pdf
From 1978 to 2000, the number of people in China living on under $1/day fell by 300 million, reversing a global trend of rising poverty that had lasted half a century (i.e. if China were excluded, the world's total poverty population would have risen) https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/China%E2%80%99s-Economic-Growth-and-Poverty-Reduction-Angang-Linlin/c883fc7496aa1b920b05dc2546b880f54b9c77a4
From 2010 to 2019 (the most recent period for which uninterrupted data is available), the income of the poorest 20% in China increased even as a share of total income. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SI.DST.FRST.20?end=2019&locations=CN&start=2008
By the end of 2020, extreme poverty, defined as living on under a threshold of around $2 per day, had been eliminated in China. According to the World Bank, the Chinese government had spent $700 billion on poverty alleviation since 2014. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/31/world/asia/china-poverty-xi-jinping.html
You say all this but I personally know people living in China and they as normal civilians aren't doing so great the us has supposedly also had a massive boom in purchasing power these last few years and yet people living there don't seem to feel it there's a large focus on numbers which to an extent mean something (China has had an economic boom) but the peoples experiences are vastly different and for example China has a large problem with ghost companies so ~(^=^)/~
I also personally know people living in China, and I've never heard from anyone about the kinds of horrors I see in Canada and read about it in US on daily basis.

Forgetting something are we?
Nah, I'm not forgetting delusional westoid fantasies about a fictional genocide. I flat out ignore them because they've been discredited many times. Meanwhile, media censorship exists everywhere, including the west. The idea that westerners think they got the level of censorship fundamentally right while everyone else got it wrong just shows what utter chauvinists westerners are.
Yea keep larping its clear the only education you've gotten is a good brainwashing
Thanks for your self referential comment.
