Biden already has those codes. If I look at where we started with Trump and where we ended up, and then where Biden picked up and where we ended up, my choice clearly becomes Biden. Trump went from "grab em by the pussy" to Covid to breaking a bunch of laws to an insurrection. Biden cleaned up Trump's mess and avoided a complete imminent global financial collapse. All things considered, I'd rather see Biden over Trump and it's too late to try to swap out Biden.
Can we all agree that since we have an age-minimum of 35, then we should have an age-maximum tied to, say, retirement age?
The argument is simple: nobody is in their prime past retirement age. Nobody. And this by default suggests we guaranteed have better options to run the presidency than some geriatric seniors.
Friendly reminder that only one of them is unstable enough to use them.
Everybody is tired of these dinosaurs. I don't know anybody conservative or liberal who's thrilled about either candidate.
As far as this election goes, my thought process goes like this.
Biden: Oh my God, NO! He's terrible!
Trump: Oh my God, NO! He's terrible! x100
Therefore I'll be voting for Biden.
You can be "sick of old men" all you like OP, but are you "sick of democracy, eager to embrace dictatorship?"
Doing away with First Past The Post voting in favor of a more representative electoral system (such as but not limited to Ranked Choice voting) will Introduce competition into the electoral process.
This will increase the quality of candidates across the political spectrum. Yes, this would even help the Republicans pick less insane candidates.
Ugh that was bad.
This is a good idea for a game!
So am i and i am one
Shouldn't it be who's better at (nuclear) football?
Brooo
Are we sure trump still doesn't possess the codes hidden away in a box somewhere?
No one has said it in this thread, and there’s a lot of people talking about how they wish there was another option:
I’m voting for the Party for Socialism and Liberation and you can too!
They’re running Claudia de la Cruz on a platform of Palestinian statehood and an end to arms shipments to Israel.
There are many alternatives.
Even though I'll never vote for either of these genocidal neoliberal freaks, they are not the same. Saying one is bad because he is old is not an acceptable justification and it is ageism. The problem with Biden (regardless of his and his party's political orientation) is the fact that he is simply unsuitable for the job, he clearly doesn't have the mental and physical capacity for it. Trump on the other side (even though he's a fascist and regardless of the insane shit he says) is fine. He has the strength and mental clarity for the job. So don't compare Trump and Biden on this front, Trump can function just fine.
