A message to wavering Democrats (lemmy.sdf.org)

I know that it's popular to dismiss President Biden. I get it. He's old. This is the first election featuring the 2 oldest candidates, ever. So what? The future of the WORLD is literally dependent on this election. To boot Biden from the ticket and try to bootstrap another candidate is madness. Booting this incumbent and hoping his VP will succeed is like firing the cook and hoping the dishwasher will give you Michelin-quality food. Stick with the old man, and figure out a way to enact his popular policies while also expanding the Supreme Court, enacting term limits and limiting "Christian" Nationalists.

No, you don't get it. It's not just a matter of age, it's a matter of severe cognitive impairment due to his age. He's a few brain cells away from becoming a gibbering vegetable.

It's rather alarming that the only qualification to be the Democrat nominee is to have a pulse. Not a brain, not an agenda, not a set of policies and initiatives. Just a pulse and nothing more.

At that point, who's actually making the decisions? Who controls the nuclear codes? Who is commanding the military? It's not Biden, but some anonymous unelected staffers?

The other candidate wants to be dictator on day 1.

should I reply to a comment that has "He's a few brain cells away from becoming a gibbering vegetable.". I mean common. Is this in good faith. Will everyone get 100% behind a replacement from the party. I doubt that. I see no reason to replace him. He has a young vice president so if he becomes unable to serve she was also voted on by the democratic voters last spring. This is a non issue to me.

it’s a matter of severe cognitive impairment due to his age.

The alternative is a moron with a visible personality disorder. Someone who's still bragging about remembering five objects, because he genuinely does not understand that demonstrating basic functionality is not a flex.

He's also a fascist, in case you care.

This is hilarious. The dude is running the country quite well right at this moment. Stop buying into the BS hype the press is trying to foment for click-bait profits.

I have a very different opinion on the definition of "quite well" lol
