    I’m only 40 and I’d have a hard time giving specific years for many of my major life events including:

    When my nan died

    When my grandpa died

    When I graduated HS

    When I got my bachelor’s degree

    What year I left my last job

    Like, these dates don’t really hold the kind of relevance of the events themselves. I can’t imagine how hazy those dates will be when Im 70+. Anyway, I’m not sure the job of president is to remember specific dates from your resume.

    So our choices this fall are a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” and one who isn’t well-meaning. Doesn’t change my vote!

      Those are not your only choices. Nevermind the fact that the primaries aren’t even done yet, which is a prime time to vote for anyone but those two.

        Technically true, but my number one political issue is defeating Republicans, and at this point in time I don’t see any reason to believe anyone besides the Democratic party’s nominee can do that

        Nevermind the fact that the primaries aren’t even done yet, which is a prime time to vote for anyone but those two

        I did say “this fall,” but yeah, I’m definitely not voting for Biden in the primaries, I completely hate the guy, I just hate Republicans way way way more

        Yes and no, primaries are a joke; i.e. what happened to Sanders. The democratic party harpooned his campaign anytime they could in preference of their pre-ordained crap choice.

          I’m not generally in favour of encouraging to not vote for a candidate they want. So regardless of the results of previous primaries, I’m going to advocate for people to, you know, vote. Didn’t realize that was a spicy take here.

          anytime they could

          Best way forward I think is a) don’t give them the chance b) harpoon as many moderate douchebags in primaries as we can. Party leadership has a lot of power over the process, way more than they should, but there are limits to what they can do and what the less engaged voters who make up most of their base will let them get away with, if they become aware of those things.

    Really ramming up that propaganda, huh.

    Honestly, Regan proved that mental faculties are not a requirement for the role of PUSA

      The even more damning evidence there is that he thought the test was hard.

    This is all according to Robert Hur, a Trump era federal prosecutor who was trying to box Biden in on something he could charge him with. Seems likely a case of Biden using the “I don’t remember” response enough to piss Hur off. His opinion of Biden means very little to me.

    Regardless of his memory, we already know he can’t be charged because he’s the sitting President. :) We’ve been over this!

      Who won the 2020 presidential election?

      If you can’t admit Donald Trump lost, why should we listen to anything you say?

          People pushing silly anti-Biden stories are pro-fascism MAGAs.

          Don’t engage in debates with someone who refuses to acknowledge reality and is acting in bad faith.

            So if you dislike one you must love the other? It’s not possible to dislike both?

            If your response to him was "looking at your comments and post history shows you won’t believe Trump lost and because of that no one should believe what you say "… That would be a logical argument, but what you are doing just doesn’t make sense. Because it is possible to dislike both

        If you can’t admit Donald Trump lost

        What? When did I say that?

        why should we listen to anything you say?

        You shouldn’t. But maybe read the article.

            Trump lost. Fuck Trump. I am not a Trump supporter.

            You accuse everyone who dares to make the slightest criticism of Biden, as a Trump supporter? Are you in a cult?
