MODERATORS
Actual subtitle:
The Quinnipiac University poll showed that 49 percent of registered voters support Biden and 45 percent support Trump, but 67 percent said the 81-year-old president is too old to serve another term.
10% don't realize Trump is only 4 years younger...
Way too old. Way too genocidal. What too owned by corporations. Way too everything except not trump. This is what US freedom feels like boys and girls. Take a long deep breath of that late stage capitalism and know if 'things' can't make you happy you're fucked... but have you tried the pop rock oreos?
If this was the most important election of our lifetimes, like they claim, they would have spent the money and resources to primary Biden with someone worthy of winning.

If your house is on fire and two elderly firefighters show up-- one with a hose and the other with a can of gas-- it’s not a hard decision who’s the man for the job.
have you had to take care of an elderly relative before?
we do
would not trust either of the two firefighters and would question if their was a fire
my grandfather is Biden's age and yes age does mean something though it does not mean do not respect the elderly and their accomplishments and life achievements
body does age and it is not in the same condition from birth until you die and Trump and Biden are no different not to mention the two both have piss poor resumes
need to equip and train and educate younger generations to take to lead at a certain point
<.< Are you saying you’d let your house burn down instead of picking one of the two firemen?
Like, good on you for having a stance. But this seems like the “I refuse to choose” answer with a long winded explanation behind it. In which case you house burns down.

I’m 43 and I’m not sure you’d want me on a fire hose either.
I’ve helped care for multiple older adults though between mine and my wives families. and there’s a lot of variability in that age group. My wife’s dad just passed away at 64, his dad passed away last year at 95 and was super fit and clear minded until cancer started to beat his ass in 2020 and his mom is 87 and and walks miles each day and is incredibly fit and active and mentally sharp.
At that age, it’s quite possible for some older adults to still be incredibly capable of some strenuous activity, but those aren’t the ones eating hamberders and diet coke every meal.
Well said.
