Current Events > I can't believe Biden is going to lose because of "he's too old"

(+) Yeah! (+)

Even though

1. Trump is also too old
2. Trump is a raging lunatic who only wants to get back in the White House so he can exact revenge on his enemies, both real and imaginary

Revenge, and sell out America to the highest bidders to fill his own pockets.

Yall cant already be in this mode of despair posting

But really, this is what's going to do Biden in?

Not committing crimes
Not mishandling classified documents
Not cheating on his taxes, or his wives
Not being a terrible, incompetent president

But simply "well, he is kinda old"
That is Biden's great failure.

Three things are true:

1) Trump's chance to win is much too high.

2) It's not nearly a sure thing for Trump to win.

3) Doomposting like this only help Trump's chances.

Why do shit like this?

The mainstream media is pushing this age shit as hard as they can.

GameFAQs isn't going to move the needle in either direction. No need to freak out what is posted here.

There were people despair posting about Trump as soon as Biden was elected, and before the Capitol riot.

Get used to it. It's only going to get more annoying as the months go on.

Good not to be complacent cause that lead to Trump winning in 2016, but if there is a reason to have faith, didn't some Republicans recently turn against him?

That and while he was never cool, he does seem to be losing more attempts at composure for lack of a better description. Like trying to claim his Home Alone 2 cameo is why that movie has any success.

Listen man, I don't know if you haven't been paying attention, but Biden is old, has a stutter, and even forgets/misspeaks from time to time.

If that isn't the perfect reason to vote for the dismantling of key and crucial rights, crucial and necessary social programs, large swatches of the justice system, regulations to stop corporations from destroying the world and or killing us, anything preventing political corruption, systems in place to stop the genocide of the LGBTQ+, Women's and minority voting rights, all while changing this country into a dictatorship, what is? How is all that not completely equivalent?

/S because people really fucking think this way.

If it comes down to moral reservations, I still say that at least under Biden you're allowed not to hold back on opinions regarding the President (him) and there will be another election for a much better candidate whereas Trump is an automatic game over and even a born citizen bad mouthing him is a risk.

I don't believe he's going to lose full stop.

The stupid thing about him being 'too old' is, that if he ever gets to a point he can't do the job... Kamala Harris probably becomes President. She's NOT too old, and is fully capable. I will take Kamala Harris over whoever Trump picks as VP any day of the week.

Going to lose?

You say that like it is just going to happen. Magickly.

Congratualtions, it is people like YOU who are making it even remotely possible for him (or whoever replaces him if some bad health thing happens) to lose.

You, despite seemingly lamenting it, are in fact "The Enemy."

Evil will always triumph because good is dumb. And often does nothing, while letting evil win.

Replace good and evil with lesser evil and EXTREME EVIL.

Still works. Never let a goal of perfection stand in the way of a reality of choosing against a lesser evil.

This world is full of dinguses, I swear...

It's actually a little later than normal during election season.

It especially made the Politics board insufferable during election years. Basically x6 whatever amount is posted here.

@HylianFox how many Dems stepped up to the plate? I seem to remember Miariam and RBJ jr. Anybody else? Makes you wonder if they cleared the field because they want to lose on purpose. That is how important it is to them.

All these Democrats touring news shows telling everyone how sharp and on the ball Biden is isn't helping either. Jon Stewart mentioned it tonight... maybe film some of this and let people see it for ourselves.

i refuse to believe trump will win. democrats have overperformed polling and trends since 2018 and trump and trump endorsed people have vastly underperformed. hard to imagine trump winning when he incited an insurrection, had scotus stooges who overturned roe, and continually says the most deranged and evil shit imaginable

"I kinda like having rights, but are they worth having an old bastard in office that stumbles over his words? I'd rather have the other old bastard who hasn't former a coherent thought in years, worships dictators and has a whole cult behind him promising to destroy everyone who disagrees with them."

They both belong in a home tbh

just going off life expectency tables there's like a 7% chance he's dead before the voting even happens

When my cousins grandkids are old enough to drink I'm gonna hand them a flask of wood alcohol and regale them of the time we could've saved civilization except Joe Biden had too many grey hairs so we all had to vote for the grab em by the pussy guy.

Biden will win. Just vote.

Glad we needed a 3762628748th topic like this.

No, no, you see the Hitler-esque verbiage and pro-Putin fellatio makes people love him even more! /s

It's literally the year of the election, the Republican primary is essentially over.

It is election season.

Giving up already?

Dems had their chance at having a real primary. It's not like this election had to be Trump v Biden 2: Grumpier Old Men.

Hell, it still might not be with the way both of them have been looking lately.

We have a real primary with joke candidates like Williamson and Phillips who're getting trounced without Biden having to try.

People like him believe in weird fantasy world's where if you just want something to happen enough then it will.

stop making these topics more than, say, two weeks out before an election. They are meaningless.

trump and biden both should lose because of that, lol at americans

I don't understand your thinking process where Biden dying = Trump landslide.

Donald Trump will still be the reprehensibly immoral sack of shit he's always been and in fact has promised he'll be even worse than he was in his previous administration on an almost daily basis. The recent Dem election victories have been primarily a rejection of Trump and his extremism, not an overfawning of Dems and their candidates. What's actually on the ballot this upcoming election is democracy vs fascism, it'll have very little to do with the Dem candidate when election time actually rolls around.

It doesn't make sense that people are going to overwhelmingly run to support Trump because Biden dies, especially since so many people here keep acting like anybody but Biden would trounce Trump easily, so which is it?

Republicans thought FDR was too old as well, and tried to go with that.

He still won.

Trump is fucking terrible. In a two way race, you would think he'd take 80-90%, but he barely cracks 50%.

It's actually better that they're getting it out of their system at this point in the election cycle.

They're not going to stop as it gets closer to the election, only increase the amount of threads they make and the amount of people making them. Every election since 2016 demonstrated this on 261.

Conversely, around this time in the 2020 election everyone was all up in arms with 'can't we do any better than Biden?!' rhetoric. So yes, it will peter out once people internalize that no, we can't.

Probably all of the above and fox just repeating it 24/7. They've already got a good portion of the democrats repeating it too. I wouldn't doubt it if biden did lose.

No, it's just means that like I said initially they're starting earlier than they normally do because there's no real primary challenge to Biden. Guarantee there will be threads the night of the election talking about how Biden is going to lose and the Dems shot themselves in the foot for not picking someone else, only for Biden to likely win again.

He's done multiple long interviews!!!

Can Biden go out even more? Yes. But people are acting as if he never speaks at all.

He's actually been very actively traveling around and "getting out there", our mainstream media just doesn't focus on it because the only narrative they want to push is that he's old while undercovering Trump's constant attacks to democracy and putting the whole "I'll let Russia attack NATO allies" behind like 4 "Biden Old" articles, as the NYT did. That press corp conference where they were shouting over each other like jackals with the same inane and asinine question was absolutely embarrassing, especially since it was from some Republican sack of shit political hitjob who knew right-wingers wouldn't appreciate his conclusion, so he had to give them something to prevent getting the threats Weiss got.

Biden is keeping his speeches mostly to fundraising dinners

I'm feeling more hopeful right now then I was in November of last year.

Yet again be reminded that no one is forced to vote for either of those two.

Its the same energy as this:

https://youtu.be/Xe5OynLQbJc?si=yDrP_fzoD2LM7fH2

And funny enough, the very first comment on the video notes that because The Doctor pulled that cheeky stunt, The Master was able to exploit the power vacuum to become Prime Minister and cause a significant amount of havoc. And he didnt try to convince people that she was unfit, that her actions were a stain on humanity, or anything in regards to her actions. No, The Doctor chose to make a jab at her mental fitness for the job in an off-hand way, and shes toppled.

So yeah, its the exact same shit. Without any policy of their own to tout, and knowing full well Trumps verbal diarrhea is to be embraced and not rejected, the GOP and their loyal dogs in the media just have to harp on Bidens age and the electorate will handle the rest.

Age is the scapegoat tbh Trump's just better for megacorporations and billionaires but they won't say that.

Trump's like 40 months younger than Biden.
