I get it, Biden is old and that’s a problem, but why doesn’t anyone seem to have a problem with the fact that Trump is almost the same age, has 34 felonies, raped at least 2 women, went to Epstein’s Island 11 times, sexualized his own daughter, stole classified documents, aligned himself with Xi and Putin, and can’t remember common names?

Is all of that really better than being 2½ years older than he is right now?

    Three fucking years, Joe being senile was a “conspiracy theory” and then they trot captain Alzheimer’s out

      Tbf it really did seem a conspiracy theory back when it started. He used to be fairly energetic, despite being old. But, time passes.

      The problem now is that unlike conservatives, liberals don’t take as kindly to being lied to, and to say that he’s both too old to speak and also not too old to be President… it just doesn’t sit right.

        Particularly when the same wing of the party was utterly vicious about Sanders’ age when he was 75 back in 2016.

        Case by case basis. Sanders, Trump, etc, not too old yet, Biden too old despite being numerically the same.
