Especially an old man just restored a chunk of the social safety net. No, it's not enough yet, but Republicans are making sure of that.
The main fear with an old person is the instability it could cause if they grew ill. But the other two options are guaranteed instability. So I think I'll take my chances.
Also keep in mind that trump is basically as old as Biden.
And shows far more signs of being old. (The memory recall test thingy is not something given to someone of obviously sound mind,)
Yeah. Strong "on of those things is not like the others" every m energy to this healing, lol.
Yep!
The thing about an old president is that even if he grows senile, there's the entire rest of their administration that generally have the same goals in mind as them.
I would too, but like, could not limit it to just those three choices please?

I feel that it should be pointed out that Trump is also a fascist.
And old
He's the total package! Like, the kind of package you'd set on fire and leave on a neighbor's porch.
My grandmother was born in Berlin, Germany in 1938. She watched the Gestapo put a handgun to her grandfathers head and murder him because he wouldn’t give up his grandsons to fight the russians towards the end of the war. Seeing an old woman cry towards the end of her life about the horrors of ww2 and the atrocities of nazis then the subsequent pillaging of berlin by russian soldiers (she witnessed her mother get gang raped by russian soldiers) i find your comment to be ignorant and offensive, Trump isnt a nazi and if he was you would’ve seen him arm his supporters to the teeth with military grade equipment and wholesale murder liberals like it was going out of style
Not to diminish that experience. But that also started with people laughing at Hitler all over Europe. Just like we laughed at Trump, our luck is that America seems to be 50/50 not 80/20 like the Nazis benfore WW2.
Hey maybe all America needs is extreme poverty for more people to give in to the strong man logic and we ain't safe.
Your story is moving but the nazis existed before that and before they where in power. Germany was a democracy that became a fascist state. It did not start out with guns to the head. This is what he and others mean when they call him a fascist. Not ww2 fully have taken over fascist but the having barfights with communists fascists before the took over.

It's the state of politics that the wealthy elite owners of the country absolutely enjoy
Voters no longer vote for who they want
They vote for the best of the worst that is given to them
They vote for the best of the worst that is given to them
Nothing new about that.
I was a lot less worried about Mitt Romney.
Romney was a corporate stooge, but at least you knew it was just going to be more rich get richer shit. This new variety is deadset on torturing people instead of just making them poor.

There has not been a time for ripe in modern times for a strong 3rd party candidate. To bad the whole system is rigged against it.
That time was 2016, which is why gary johnson got so many votes.

Fascist, criminal, or geezer.
Ngl I know which one I’m picking (the old fart).
sample size of 1000 though. you'd think they'd be able to find tens of thousands of people

Sound about right.
Totally normal "democracy", working very well. 🙃
At this point, I'd be in favor of just asking 9 first-graders what their favorite single digit number is, and granting the position of POTUS to whoever's social security number matches the one they generated.
But, given our current options I'd take a clueless old man over a lucid fascist in a fuckin' heart beat. How is this really being presented as a dilemma? Would you rather have your house a bit too chili, or burn the whole thing down? Sure I don't like either option, but deciding which one's better kinda plays out like those cheesy banking commercials.

In 1884, meridian time personnel met
in Washington to change Earth time.
First words said was that only 1 day
could be used on Earth to not change
the 1 day marshmallow. So they applied the 1
day and ignored the other 3 days.
The marshmallow time was wrong then and it
proved wrong today. This a major lie
has so much boring feed from it's wrong.

DeSantis won Florida's 2022 gubernatorial election with 60% of the vote. If somehow Trump isn't able to run for the presidency it's a landslide victory for DeSantis v Biden.
DeSantis' faltering popularity in the GOP race shows that whatever is popular in Florida isn't necessarily popular everywhere else. I don't think it's a guarantee Biden loses to DeSantis, if it comes to that.
There are, in fact, other states besides Florida.
It's impossible to know that for sure.
Biden got more votes in Florida in 2020 than DeSantis got in 2022. Even if you assume Florida is a gimme for the Republicans that doesn't really mean shit nationally.

Its going to be interesting, desantis doesn’t have the support to beat trump in the primaries according to polls thus far and rfk jr (although a breath of fresh air in my opinion) doesn’t seem to have the support to upset biden in a primary (the dnc has announced it won’t hold any debates) popularity for biden is very low outside his democratic voter base and even within that base he still is polling low (not as high as he should be). In my opinion it will be trump vs biden rematch with trump winning cz of the dissatisfaction with bidens first term with the deciding factor being independent giving trump another shot and hispanic voting for trump more than before (i could be wrong but thats my take)
The thing about Trump vs Biden is that they are both known quantities as presidents, and Biden (for all his faults) is simply much more competent.
