George Takei  🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽Sep 27, 2023

Whenever the media want to talk about Biden’s age, remember that I am more than six years older than that kid, and both of us could run circles around the Orange Guy.

Oh, and Biden’s never been charged with a felony, let alone 91 of them. Just saying.

@georgetakei i’d still rather see someone who has to live with the consequences of their decisions making those decisions

@fluffy @georgetakei At some point, yes. Harris is relatively young and she's probably going to take the mantle when Biden's next term is up.

That said, a good person cares about what's going to happen to future generations, and does what they can to make things better. Age is less of an issue than simply caring.

@textualdeviance @georgetakei Sure, and I mean Biden is way better than most of the alternatives right now. It's just that the system hasn't given us many choices here. I feel like a vegetarian in a steakhouse, and Biden is the macaroni and cheese.

@fluffy @georgetakei In order for someone to acquire the experience necessary to actually do the job of POTUS, they have to put in the time in smaller-scale offices. If you want younger candidates for top offices, then people have to start running for city and county-level seats as soon as they're out of college. Those don't actually require anywhere near the financial resources to run for, either. But too many people don't want to do that work.

@textualdeviance @fluffy @georgetakei

physically, Biden is only half, maybe a third, of the man Trump is.

@jimhillhouse @fluffy @georgetakei We can talk about this without the fatphobia.
