US Politics
I had a string of realizations this morning that are probably severely delayed compared to most people who pay attention to politics these days.
One, I used to actually kind of enjoy politics. At least enough that I went and earned a degree in it as a double major. But if occurred to me today, while reading about this Jon Stewart kerfuffle, that I guess I kind of avoid it anymore. I mean, I'm sure I'm more politically in touch than 99% of people, but definitely not to the extent that I used to be.
Two, this whole Jon Stewart kerfuffle is really just liberals being mad that he pointed out that Biden's old? Like, we can all see that, right? I remember all the way back to a few years back when people first decided that MAGA was a cult because they wouldn't say anything negative about dear leader, even when it was obvious. I guess liberals have adopted that standpoint now? It's not like it's untrue. It doesn't take much more than a quick search on whatever your favorite search engine is to figure out that he's old, even for Presidents.
I guess I intended, when I first signed up for Mastodon, to spend more time discussing politics, but I just don't want to deal with it anymore. I'll vote when the time comes and leave the arguing up to the rest of you. ![]()

@BE I think it's us being mad that he "both sides" the candidates. It's too late to change up now. We're stuck with Biden. Do I wish he was younger? Yep. Do I fear the first woman POTUS is going to slide into office instead of strutting in? Yep. Is Biden as bad as Trump? Nope. I read something like Stuart wasn't wrong, but he certainly didn't inspire anyone to vote either. And THAT'S the issue. We need everyone to vote.
