"I'm concerned but voting for him anyway, because I'm an absolute fucking tool."

-MAGgots I guess.

Undecideds:

On the one hand, I am concerned about his basic fitness for office. But on the other hand, I am also concerned that the competent lady who has been in office for the past four years may not totally agree with me on everything. How can I possibly choose between them?

For a lot of them, I don't think it goes any farther than: "Yeah he says things I don't necessarily agree with, but groceries are more expensive than ever and I just want things to be different."

[-] Furbag@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

I saw something a few weeks ago that went something like "People really about to elect a fascist who wants to terminate the constitution just to shave $0.50 off the price of eggs."

Really, it should have been "because they think he'll shave $0.50 off the price of eggs.", because he doesn't have a policy plan to tackle inflation. He doesn't have a plan at all aside from staying out of prison.

The media isn't pounding Trump about his age like they did Biden every single day for weeks.

[-] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 45 points 3 weeks ago

I am more concerned about him wanting to be a dictator on day one and him being a Nazi

[-] Jerkface@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

Americans are increasingly concerned about Donald Trump’s age and fitness as dictator

[-] Maxxie 3 points 3 weeks ago

Kinda makes sense? If you're monarchist, king's mental state should be your top concern.

If you're a fascist though you operate on vibes and therefore do not care.

Little fucking late now isn't it?

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

Just in time, actually

[-] Twentytwodividedby7@lemmy.world 30 points 3 weeks ago

Oh, just now? Christ almighty were fucking stupid

I have been concerned about his fitness for office since always.

[-] manucode@infosec.pub 14 points 3 weeks ago

The question is which Americans are increasingly concerned about his age and fitness. Only those who already think he's politically unfit for office, or a significant number of his supporters and those sitting on the fence as well?

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

This is one of those times where it doesn't matter. At this stage, they're gonna vote for him anyway.

[-] themachine@lemm.ee 9 points 3 weeks ago

This headline and article is bullshit. Yeah being that old is a negative. But look at Bernie, he would have been just fine when he ran.

The real and glaring issue is Trump himself. Full stop.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Took them long enough to notice.

[-] littlewonder@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Oh, it is already that time of the week where the media pushes this as new information?

Wake me up when his drafty attic actually results in removal from the Republican ticket or breaks through the Republican voter information blockade.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
