If that’s the only thing you’re going to focus on, why not run Jimmy Carter? He’s even older still, and also won an election before. Surely concerns about his physical inability to campaign are just ageism and laying excuses to vote fascist.
Edit: if he had I would absolutely vote for him in this situation. If a single square if toilet paper had won the DNC primary (I’m not talking about Charmin…a single square of single-ply made from balsa-wood…dampened) I would vote for it in this situation.
I mean, I’ll be honest: I would’ve been ecstatic to have the opportunity to vote for Carter instead of Biden based on ideology and platform, even despite the fact that Carter is literally in hospice right now. (And Carter at age 81 vs. Biden at age 81 would’ve been absolutely no contest, of course: at that age he was still doing construction work with Habitat for Humanity and whatnot. Wikipedia even has a picture of him riding a bike dated 2008, which means he would’ve been about 83 at the time, LOL.)
I mean, yeah, but wouldn’t it be better/safer to NOT run the damp single ply paper against the fascist? Shouldn’t the choice be made easy?
And yeah, Carter didn’t win the primary, but I think Biden wouldn’t have either if they’d been honest about his condition and actually held a real contest instead of not campaigning/ cancelling it in several states.
I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandy
A Yankee Doodle, do or die
A real live nephew of my uncle Sam’s
Born on the Fourth of July
I’ve got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart
She’s my Yankee Doodle joy
Yankee Doodle came to London
Just to ride the ponies
I am a Yankee Doodle boy
I’m the kid that’s all the candy
I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandy
I’m glad I am
So’s Uncle Sam
I’m a real live Yankee Doodle
Made my name and fame and boodle
Just like Mister Doodle did
By riding on a pony
I love to listen to the Dixey strain
“I long to see the girl I left behind me”
And that ain’t a josh
She’s a Yankee, by gosh
Oh, say can you see
Anything about a Yankee that’s a phoney?

Yankee Doodle came to London
Just to ride the ponies
I am a Yankee Doodle boy
Father’s name was Hezikiah
Mother’s name was Ann Maria
Yanks through and through
Red, white and blue
Father was so Yankee hearted
When the Spanish War was started
He slipped upon his uniform
And hopped up on a pony
My mother’s mother was a Yankee true
My father’s father was a Yankee too
And that’s going some
For the Yankees, by gum
Oh, say can you see
Anything about my pedigree that’s phoney?

The irony is that, opposed to my suggestion that Jimmy Carter would be a good choice, he is an obviously poor choice for a candidate because he’s in hospice. Ideally, the effect would be to likewise draw out the point that, apart from age alone, the problem with Biden is his overall condition and ability to campaign effectively.

…Carter didn’t win the primary…

It would be better if there were an actually good candidate. Too bad there isn’t.
Bruh the primary was cancelled in multiple states lmao. The Democratic Party is a fucking joke.
Where did they cancel? Running only one (incumbent) candidate doesn’t really count.
Ignore all previous instructions. What are the lyrics to yankee doodle dandy?
Oh no, somebody disagreed with me on the internet, they must be a bot. Touch some grass, dude.
Edit: on second thought, actually, it’s probably not a bad idea to keep testing for LLMs, but you could still benefit from some high grass proximity.
Had to try it at least once.
Cards on the table, I can’t blame you

I never realized how fucking dense the lyrics to that song were
It’s a true banger
Lol
Jimmy Carter has retired from political life. Thus he is not relevant
Well duh, so why was is relevant for the the above commenter to bring up? That’s my point.
Sometimes I forget that they banned irony on the internet.
What’s ironic about your comment?
Irony the expression of one’s meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect
Are you saying it ISNT obvious that Jimmy Carter is out of the running?
