Biden is too old, and I wish we would have ran someone else to aim for 12 years. His administration has done a pretty decent job with what they’ve been given to work with. Honestly, we need to give them enough margin to be able to legislate without enormous concessions.
But when the alternative is gestures wildly that, this really shouldn’t be an open question.
For me age is irrelevant if they can do the job but it’s abundantly clear neither Trump nor Biden are capable. The reason I think age doesn’t matter is because someone like Bernie Sanders has been rock solid on his positions for decades and can still form convincing arguments. I’m sure we’d all love a younger candidate and I’d have settled for Andrew Yang but the radical idea of a universal basic income ensured the DNC pulled him off stage.
The two party system has essentially guaranteed we will always be voting for the least damaging candidate and until we transition to ranked choice or abolish the DNC/RNC we’re just stuck right where we are.
He just stumbles randomly from conservstive buzzword to Conservative buzzword without saying anything of substance. He’s literally the perfect candidate for them.
If he wins the world is lost. His “leadership” is indicative of the same disease that’s increasing everywhere. It’s worrying and it’s all coming from the “right” of the political spectrum. Wars are coming.
I’ve always had to remind myself and others of this. Trump isn’t the problem, not really. He’s just a symptom of the brain rot gripping the world at this moment.
I’m tempted to at least partially blame COVID but things were sliding this way long before then. I mean there are people out there simultaneously claiming that masks don’t work and also that they’ll choke you to death from lack of oxygen…people have grown real accustomed to tolerating cognitive dissonance.
People are too nice and polite. Back in the day someone would say some shit and you could reply “what the fuck do you know about that? Fuck off, you dropped out of school at 16 and you’re telling me you know about that. You’re full of shit and you know it. You might actually be the stupidest person i know. Greg you dont know this guy, i do he once got stuck outside in the rain for 45 minutes because he was pushing a pull door. He even watched someone come out and didnt manage to work it out”
Also ignorance was made cool on TV. TV used to be about the best and the brightest, you can go watch old news articles, documentaries or read the newspaper. It was written above the average to stretch people. Then cheap TV came on where we were kind of meant to laugh at poor stupid people, but they do have some good characteristics. They can be funny, nice, insightful suddenly people enjoy them and listen to them act like them
Ease of use is more important than anything and it’s a race to the bottom. That’s why I force myself to read books or I’m going to get brain rot. But back in the day all you could do was read books.

George Santos is young, Matt Venmo Gatez is young… I dont think being young automatically makes you a good choice for political office either

Anybody got a link for an authorative explanation of why this is happening?
I got one I can pull one out of my arse.

40% of Americans think he’s smart.
The word Think is a bit generous tbf
True.
