I don’t understand how anyone thinks an 81 year old person should be leader of a nation. And will they ever produce good stuff instead of what they’ve been trying and failing to do for so many years and it hurts the people.

When will they help the citizens instead of funding the military and fancy projects that waste money, cutting taxes for billionaires and raising them for the poor, cut social security, cut medicare, cut this, cut that, more money to the military.

So messed up.

I don’t know good places to find accurate news.

    While I acknowledge Biden’s age, his currently presumptive opponent is effectively just as old and makes as many verbal gaffs. I find it dishonest and misleading to only point out Biden’s age.

      I was not tryong to be dishonest or misleading. Do I have to pull an “X (formally Twitter)” when I’m talking about someone? Biden is 81 (Trumps an old fart too). Biden is allowing war crimes to happen (Trump did bad stuff too. Biden ate a hamburger (Trump ate 3).

      This isn’t a both-sides conversation.

        Maybe it wasn’t your intent but there is a bias that seems to lean against Biden regarding age and mental capacity and the title of this post feeds into it. Everytime Biden shudders a little it’s plastered all over every news outlet for days. When Trump doesn’t remember who he ran against in 2020, that WW2 has already happened, or Jeb Bush didn’t get the US involved in Iraq it’s ignored. The only difference is one is President and the other desperately wants to be President (again) and is the presumptive Republican nominee.

        Republicans said Biden was too old last time. If Trump wins this time, he will be older than Biden was when Biden took office. Not a peep from republicans, though. I agree they’re both too old to be in office, and if one is the other is too.

          That is a common “phenomena” I see with Republicans. (Edit: and so many others too, D included)

          Idk. I just want a president who grew up in my times, not pre-color TV times. Society is changing so quickly and we have people who bought a 4 bedroom home for 80,000 deciding if housing is too expensive, and they think of their experience and shrug cuz why don’t people do it like they did?

          I need a president who lives paychexk-to-paycheck. Someone who can relate with the majority of the population.

          I want someone who treats it like a video game and the goal is to get all the status bars to “happy”, not just military…
