    I think there’s a chance that if he’s able to stay energetic enough throughout it, it may stave off the “yeah trump tried a coup but have you considered biden old?” crowd. This election is very likely to come down to some tight numbers in a handful to states, things like that may very well matter.

    It could just as easily absolutely backfire if he has a fuckup though, so it’s risky as hell.

        I’ve never cared about Biden’s age. Centrists were ageist as hell during the 2016 primaries, and I don’t go there.

        Biden supports genocide and he should stop. No matter how much it would disappoint centrist Democrats.

          You’re not going to find many people here that disagree with that. We’re just well aware that as awful as Biden is regarding it, there’s a 0% chance Trump isn’t miles worse. Anyone who doesn’t want to accept that is delusional.

            You’d think so, wouldn’t you.

            You go on to insinuate that I’m a trumper for saying anything that isn’t flat out worship of Biden and his support for genocide.

              Not sure where I implied that at all. I simply said expecting Trump to be any better on the issue is moronic.

                  I never said you said that, and I really don’t think I implied it. I said anyone who doesn’t realize the reality of the situation is a moron. I’m not sure why you’re so insistent to interpret that as “you specifically think this and are stupid”

      but again… the people that need to see that won’t. the conservative-aligned outlets will trim anything that makes biden look good, and that’s all they’ll see. there is pretty much nobody that isn’t decided between the two.

      where biden is going to loose, it’s shit like gaza driving muslim/palistinian/anti-genocide voters away. Seriously, it could have been a godsend for his pulling if he vetoed the Israeli aid package. but nope. instead he’s going to sanction an unit and actually trust “Naw we’re not doing warcrimes” IDF to not just completely ignore.

        I really don’t understand someone who is so addled/low-info as to honestly come to such a conclusion, but apparently a lot of them exist. So a candidate is old as hell, who GAF? Donnie is nearly as old as him anyway, and it’s not like there won’t be a VP, a cabinet, etc…

        I seriously wonder how long people will cling to that as things like life extension become a reality, I really do…humans can be very, very stupid as a group, even as there is a subset of humans doing absolutely amazing and incredible things to extend our technological reach…I almost wish there was a way nearly all humans could get an IQ upgrade before some of these other breakthroughs, so all the dumbasses don’t hold us back and/or end the whole thing due to their blinkered existence.
