If trump wins, you should be looking in the mirror for trying to convince people that fanfare and imagery is what they should be voting on rather than a good president.
One old guy, whose age has not stopped him achieving landmark progressive legislation for 4 years straight as president, being about 3 years older than the other old guy, is an impractical and irrelevant concern to the administration of the presidency and to this election.
You are arguing that we should focus on YouTube clips and public displays instead of policy and achievement.
You're blaming other voters for your anxieties. Those are your issues.
Your irrelevant name calling and ignoring the actual candidacy in favor of irrelevant headlines is what's helping your maga friends, not a good President determined to be reelected who's been working fine for 4 years.
You can write biden a letter asking him to practice his somersaults, but that is as irrelevant to him continuing to be a good president as your other complaints.
This is an election. It doesn't matter how much you stamp your feet about your own anxieties, people get to vote for who they want to vote for and whoever you want will win or lose according to the results.
Let the voters decide who they want to vote for based on substance, not your confetti.
Like talking to a brick wall
I'm not going to change my valid points because you're parroting irrelevant groupthink
You have yet to make any valid points
Try reading the thread first and addressing specifics instead of babbling nonsense
I read the thread, there's nothing to address because the other guy already has, and he's right about you being like a brick wall
Yes, I reply logically and consistently to a meandering mess of invective.
You want to change someone's mind?
