On Election Day 2024, which of these people will be on the presidential ballot in half the states or more?

This is why we need to keep supporting efforts to undermine the party system and First Past The Post.
(Though to be fair, Joe Biden is actually a good president, and the mainstream media is just not reporting on it)

@fredbrooker @raccoon this is kind of ageist. Can you break this down in a way that isn't about age?

@fredbrooker @evan
I don't necessarily disagree that we need to see more politicians below retirement age, simply because there's a strong lack of representation for anyone who isn't going to die in the next couple decades, or even has to wait to collect social security instead of having to work, but that's a systemic problem, a demographic problem, not a problem of Joe Biden.
We're asking your issue with Joe Biden himself. Objectively speaking, he's getting the job done.

Its not about age, its about senility and mental function... Biden is clearly senile and does not have the mental capacity to function in ANY role, let alone a presidency. The fact that this mental decline is age related is tangental at best.
Trump is a great counter example, he too clearly doesnt have the mentality to be in charge. But his mental insufficiency is in no way related to his age. He was mentally incapable of being in charge even from an early age.

But Biden isn't senile. There's no evidence of serious mental decline. He's acting as he always has.
Remember, Trump was the source of the idea that Biden is suffering from age-related conditions, repeating a lie until it's forced into discussion is basically his primary tactic in undermining democracy and rule-of-law. The stability-hostile mainstream media repeats it because Biden has been effective and stable, the opposite of Trump.

@raccoon this is a case of giving Trump way too much credit. And it's not like we need to be inflating his ego any farther.
Let me emphasize it: please don't inflate Trump's size on the stage. It only encourages him, and it's exactly what he wants, exactly the game he plays.
No, Trump is not the source of the idea that Biden is having mental issues. A whole lot of us watch him and come to that conclusion on our own.
A whole lot of us wish both Trump and Biden would go away, and so that's why I'm a bit annoyed to see a response like this that serves to keep both of them on the stage.
