    Just like Hillary was the only person who could beat him in 2016…

    I feel like we’re sleepwalking into a dictatorship because of old fucks thinking they know better and that now is their time.

      Unfortunately we’re in a position this election cycle where our options are vote for old fuck, or let Nazi old fuck win.
      I’m not thrilled about it either but it’s something we can sort out after this election cycle. There’s a much larger and important issue on the table than age and it needs to be dealt with first.

        Said everyone who ever defended the preferred candidate of the DNC to someone with actual ideals and principles every single election cycle for the last 40+ years.

        That’s how we got to a situation where a Trump presidency was anything but a throwaway joke from The Simpsons that was supposed to be over the top satire.

          Do you seriously think Biden’s age is more important than allowing the US to fall into a Nazi dictatorship?

            No. His age is a minor thing. It’s (almost) everything ELSE about him that should preclude him from being the only alternative to fascism.

            He’s for sure the lesser evil compared to Trump, by miles, and I hope everyone who can votes for him, but that doesn’t mean that he’s not still an evil.

            An extremely ambitious politician from Pennsylvania doesn’t just move to tiny little Delaware for reasons unrelated to it being the most corporation-friendly state in the union and “the Senator from MBNA” is no exception.

        This election cycle? This will be the third election cycle where the only thing going for dems is “well you don’t want the other guy, so you???”

      Billionaires don’t want the geriatrics to give way to younger politicians without such antiquated ideologies
