            To be fair, this is partly how I’ve been looking at it. In the event that power gets delegated to the VP, you want to know the right hand man isn’t an absolute crock of shit as well.

            But surely even an old man suffering dementia is a better candidate than Trump.

        They’re laying around all over the place. The thing is none of them want to run right now.

        To the point I personally love to make…

        Trump. Biden. George W. Bill Clinton.

        Were all, at one point, simultaneously high school students. All born within 4 years of one another.

        1992 - 2028. With the exception of Obama, all under the rule of one very, very narrow demographic.

        Seriously, the whole too old argument is a bulldog with rubber teeth. Trump’s a buffoon with or without cognitive decline.

          On what grounds? Hating Biden for being a liberal right winger propping up genocide does not make them a supporter of someone even more right wing.

            Only if they refuse to vote for him to keep the even more right wing one out of office.

              Biden isn’t catering to Leftist voters. That doesn’t mean pointing out Biden and the DNC as right wingers is support for Trump.

                I didn’t say it was. I said refusing to vote for him is, albeit passively. Hate Biden all you want, but keep the objectively far worse guy out of power at all costs.

                  The original point was that pointing out that Biden is a right wing monster makes you a Trump Supporter, which is goofy.

                    Yes, that is goofy. I don’t hate Biden as much as some, but I don’t particularly like him, either. Still voting for him or whoever else the Democrats dredge up to keep fascism at bay.

                  He’s not objectively far worse. He’s arguably slightly worse.
