How big of an impact word of mouth from the media travels to make people turn against Biden because of his age.

Trump is 77
Biden is 81

4 years!

No one talks about Trumps age and its gotten so bad that even Democrats are using Bidens age as a complaint against voting for him. Like theyre not aware of how ridiculous that sounds when the alternative is Trump?

By the time one has seen decades of mainstream media character assassination vs. D presidents, other D office holders and D candidates, this is completely to be expected.

Only the irrelevant details of each meticulously magnified RWNJ outrage/talking point differ from case to case.

For whom though? It's not going to convince people to vote for Trump instead of Biden.

Justices all ignoring the fact that Trump has broke the law and instead focusing on how it could impact future presidents for Colorados decision to ban Trump from the ballots.

Seeking the media and people here making topics or posts about Bidens age is also pretty annoying.

Usually the incumbents have it harder, but this kind of perspective usually leaves out the obvious opponent.

When polling time comes around in September or October Biden probably will be in a comfortable lead.

Honestly it'll probably be better for everyone if they tuned out of politics for like 8 months.

To who? In the U.S. being an incumbent comes with a boost in their favor. That's why so many members of Congress retain their seats while doing nothing, because they're the incumbent and have name recognition.

Having said that, the media is treating Trump like he's some newcomer when they talk about his performance in the primaries when he's essentially an incumbent himself, just 4 years removed.

Him barely getting 51% in Iowa is actually pretty terrible for an incumbent candidate.

This is the worst advice I've ever seen here. Political apathy and ignorance is why the U.S. is so fucked up in its politics. We need more political engagement and informative levels, not less.

Bizarre and medically unwarranted comparison.

I've seen early onset dementia in patients as young as 55 (these people usually have genetic risk factors and/or smoke/poorly controlled HTN causing cerebral microvascular disease).

I've seen sharp people in their 90s. Still probably wouldn't prefer them as president.

Politics aside, trump is physically and mentally younger than biden. Biden shuffles, moves with a stiff gait and if you didn't notice switched from wearing dress shoes to tennis shoes, even when wearing a suit (prevents falls).

There is so, so much more distance between them than "4 years." That is a woefully inaccurate characterization.

I'm not talking about their policies. I'm just talking about aging.

Trump is definitely showing too, but in a different way. He's become very disinhibited. I've noticed some memory stuff too when speaking but people gloss over the disinhibition.

Neither should hold office, yet one will. In a time of crisis turning to someone that doesn't remember much makes for a weak country and ripe for chaos in uncertain times

Not really. If you've been following politics for the last 8 years it's pretty obvious who you'll have to choose. If you know the candidates, I don't see why I have to follow the news to find out what they are like. Americans have seen Trump in office, so with Biden. I don't think there is much left to see.

Because you're unaware of just how uninformed the general electorate actually is. Like, maybe the political junkies here could take a break and there'd be little change, however you are grossly overestimating the levels of informed the general public is if that's what you're suggesting. And you don't need to be informed to vote, so you can both vote and be ignorant of the greater workings at the same time.

You've got a point, but I don't think 'general electorate' is a good way of explaining CE's make up xd

But you are right, I won't take that away from you.

I take back accusing you of being uninformed/grossly overestimating the informed level of the general electorate since it sounds like you do understand, as it seems that you were just specifically talking about people here who discuss politics.

Tell me the last time Trump rode a bike like Biden.

Hell, even on the mental side, tell me what makes you so sure in saying this? Please explain in great detail.

Top executives even admitted that he was good for business/ratings back then. They absolutely do prefer Trump and his inflammatory drama over a stable and well-ran nation.

Case in point. Everyone's been going on about Biden being senile and just Friday Donnie was giving a speech in front of the NRA (full of countless other examples of insanity) where he didn't know what day it was. Could you imagine Biden doing that?
