    What’s with this constant attitude that Biden, in much better shape and not significantly older than Trump, is on the verge of death?

        No, most people are not happy about voting for an old Republican of a Democrat.

        No, insulting Biden does NOT mean I like Trump in any way nor want him to win.

        People can be and are unhappy about both choices.

          Then the question becomes, what’s with the people who are not like you, who focus on Bidens age without attributing the same vulnerabilities to Trump?

          Fully aware you’re not expected to have the answer to that, you’re not responsible for them folks.

              Not to mention, his age is statistically unlikely to be related to his mortality, considering his disgustingly unhealthy lifestyle and diet. It’s a wonder that shitbag hasn’t already sprung an irreparable leak. 🤮☠️👀

          better a progressive republican that an extremist republican, and those are your choices. reality sucks; deal with it or be prepared for the consequences

      • You know things are bad, when both sides of US politics rely on desinformation and populist narratives.

        Biden is 81 years old and regularly showed in public appearances that he is mentally declining. Trump shows the same.

        The fact that both sides of the two party system band together to claim that the age and mental state of their candidates should not be a clear reason to exclude both canidates is insane to look at from the outside. How can the US still delude itself into being anything but a nuclearly armed corrupt oligarchy, when these two candidates is the “best” the nation has to offer? How can you still delude yourself into believing that this is not the result of an oligarchy that will never allow a candidate to actually bring the economic change necessary to protect the poor people and make the rich people contribute fairly to society?

        One party is rapeing you from the front and the other party is rapeing you from behind and you argue about which way around it is better instead of seeing to end getting fucked over.

          • Which is indicative, or rather painfully obvious shoving it into peoples faces, that the US political system is systemically broken and needs systemic reforms.

            But instead of growing past “your team vs my team” people cheer on the further decline that makes them suffer.

            If the US would just bring demise to itself i wouldn’t mind, but since it is causing pain and suffering all over the world it needs to be adressed.

        Fascists view the enemy as simultaneously weak, decrepit and pathetic… while also being sharp minded machiavellian mastermind strong men.

        and which it is depends entirely on the moment and argument at hand.
