"Joe Biden is the incoherent one."
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.
George Santos is young, Matt Venmo Gatez is young... I dont think being young automatically makes you a good choice for political office either
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.
Anybody got a link for an authorative explanation of why this is happening?
40% of Americans think he’s smart.
The word Think is a bit generous tbf
True.
We hope its only 40%.
25% of Americans think he's smart. 47% of Americans want him to be the president.
Nah, they want a king. Some of them at least.
Hell if isolationism is your goal maybe this would help /s
