Americans were worried about Biden's age long before the debate
Polls say Americans think Joe Biden is too old to be president.
I'm not really worried about Biden's age, only about his ability to win.
I am voting AGAINST Trump and his administration. Trump is not fit for office for a number of reasons.
Biden returned us to a level of normalcy in the executive branch; he's performed his duties better than I actually expected, despite the GOP controlling the house and doing almost nothing legislatively for the 2nd half of his term. If Biden kicks the bucket after getting elected, that is fine; his administration will be in place, the VP will take over to serve out the remainder of his term, and in four years we will have a chance at someone else. Biden will have served his country well in that.
Fact of the matter is, Biden isn't going to step down, stop buggering out about his age. Six months ago to a year ago, his mental fitness was fine. Now he is finally starting to show his age in that regard, but he still cares about this country, and holds American democracy as a truth in his heart. If I hear one more old person in their 70's (Schumer) and 80's (Pelosi) call for Biden to step down, I will expect for people to also call for those old farts to step down, before they get Feinsteined.
For anyone that is voting against Trump, it is simple: If Biden doesn't step down, vote for Biden. If Biden steps down, you vote for whoever steps up in his place.
If someone is actually fine with Trump winning, then this message isn't for you.
Perfectly written!
I wouldn't care if he was 90, but I do care that he can't function. He constantly lies as well
Between Trump and Biden, Biden is the one you think is the big liar? What's he lied about?
(And is it something that somehow makes him worse than the compulsive lying fascist guy?)
You think he hasn't lied?
“I’m the only president this century that doesn’t have any — this decade — that doesn’t have any troops dying anywhere in the world, like [Trump] did.”
So the video of Biden checking his watch over and over again as military members were passing him... They weren't dead. They were just sleeping extra hard.
The US Border Patrol union “endorsed me, endorsed my position.”

“Black unemployment is the lowest level it’s been in a long, long time.”
In April 2023 under Biden, black unemployment hit a record low of 4.8%, beating a previous low of 5.3% reached under Trump in 2019.
However, the rate last month was 6.1%. Far from "lowest" by several percentage points.
“We have a thousand millionaires in America, I mean billionaires. And what’s happening? They’re in a situation where they in fact pay 8.2% taxes.”
The top 1% of taxpayers (income of at least $548,000) paid an average tax rate of nearly 26% in 2020, while the top 0.001% — 1,475 taxpayers with at least $77 million in adjusted gross income – paid 23.7%
“I’ve changed in a way that now you’re in a situation where there are 40% fewer people coming across the border illegally. That’s better than when [Trump] left office.”
HAH. I not even gratifying this lie with the truth. I think we all know the southern border is a serious problem and that it's still not even close to Trump levels.
These were JUST from the debate... Several other statements weren't outright lies, but definitely misrepresentations of the truth. You're not going to convince anyone that Biden ISN'T lying. There is no single "big liar". They're both lying.
He lies about everything, as recently as yesterday saying inflation is down when it's not. It just increased at a slower pace but still went up. He says inflation was 9% when he took office. Again, not true. It was 1.4%. He said the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. Here's just a few other things Fabricated tale of getting arrested for trying to see Nelson Mandela: Biden has been accused of lying about being arrested in the 1970s for trying to visit Nelson Mandela, who was imprisoned in South Africa. In reality, Biden has admitted that he never met Mandela or was arrested for trying to visit him. Claim about being at Ground Zero the day after 9/11: Biden has been accused of lying about being at Ground Zero on September 11, 2001, the day after the 9/11 attacks. In reality, Biden did not visit Ground Zero until nine days after the attacks. False claim about his family’s background: Biden has been accused of lying about his family’s background, specifically claiming that he was the first in his family to attend college. In reality, his maternal grandfather attended Santa Clara University, and his own father spent a year at Johns Hopkins University. Lies about the economy and inflation: Biden has been accused of lying about the state of the economy and inflation, claiming that prices are not rising and that the economy is strong. In reality, inflation has been rising, and many Americans are struggling to make ends meet. False claims about Israel and Hamas: Biden has been accused of lying about Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip, claiming that Israel was engaging in “indiscriminate bombing” when in reality, Israel was responding to Hamas rocket attacks. Lies about his own record and accomplishments: Biden has been accused of lying about his own record and accomplishments, including his time as Vice President and his presidency. False claims about the border surge and immigration: Biden has been accused of lying about the border surge and immigration, claiming that the surge is “seasonal” and that his administration is doing everything it can to address the issue. Lies about his son Hunter Biden’s business dealings: Biden has been accused of lying about his son Hunter Biden’s business dealings, including his involvement with the Ukrainian energy company Burisma.
Americans heard “sleepy joe” repeated by news outlets ad nauseam long before the debate.
Sleepy joe was applied to his stutter, now his age. Long ago ABC made it a thing without thinking about what it ever meant.
Here is his fantastic Detroit speech from today.
Hard to fuck up when you're reading 100% from a teleprompter. Click to a random spot in the video where he's talking. Notice his face is ALWAYS locked on a specific location. Literally the glass panes that you can see. That's the teleprompter. He seems to favor the one on his right.
So you think he did a good job? We agree.
But I thought the narrative was that he was a senile old man who can put two words together? When you watched his responses to reporters at his NATO press conference, he wasn't going from a teleprompter and spoke well on policy issues. But yeah, he makes mistakes when speaking, so his ability to talk policy doesn't matter I guess.
Y'all are just pushing this narrative daily aren't you? It's really transparent
My brother in christ I am just posting the top political headline
From all the media I've consumed it sounds like they're putting feelers out for running Kamala instead, I think of Bidens polling doesn't improve they may do this. (Or someone else that polls better)
I still think there is a chance he'll drop out, but the optics of being pressured to drop out aren't good, I think they're worried that might hurt them also.
So if it happens it'll be spun as Biden choosing to do so (if he continues lagging enough in the polls)
But as long as he pulls better than the alternatives they're going to keep going with him, so... Hopefully closer to the election people at least choose to vote against the far far far worse, fashy choice in any case
I'm on some text lists. There are definitely some people putting out feelers for Kamala. Got a couple requests for surveys about it.
