The fucking Times. It follows up yesterday's awful poll with another. That they even asked this question is evidence of the bias--the agenda--in their poll. Who made age an "issue"? The credulous Times falling into the right-wing's projection. This is not journalism. Shameful.

@jeffjarvis Probably not a majority of Biden's voters, but enough think he's a one and done president. His age is a factor as we're living in times we need younger, energetic, motivated, decisive president. Biden isn't it. There are several equal or better qualified democratic candidates who can win in November. Biden needs to withdraw and give the future to them. JMO

@wsrphoto @jeffjarvis Biden already has a younger and perfectly capable person to take over if he's unable to complete his term. Why is she not good enough?

@textualdeviance @jeffjarvis I'm predicting Biden won't finish second term. The stress of world and domestic politics and events will overwhelm him physically. VP Harris was my vote in 2020 when Sherrod Brown didn't enter race, and would be now if Biden withdrew. She's ready now.

@wsrphoto @jeffjarvis Great. Then she's ready to take over if he can't finish the term, just like I said.

@wsrphoto @jeffjarvis "energetic?" Really? What specifically would a younger person do as President that Biden isn't doing because he's so old? Chop firewood? Now the White House lawn? Clear brush from his ranch?

@tob @jeffjarvis presidency is non-stop requiring energy to work long and hard. I don't see Biden, despite being healthy and fit for being mid-80's, having stamina unless he limits his time and attention. Do we want a president not to be able to match the demands of the job?
Show threadTom Bellin Mar 4, 2024
@wsrphoto @jeffjarvis Is there any specific evidence that Biden isn't able to match the demands of the job? I mean, just speaking generally about human physiology, another decade of productivity is not an unreasonable expectation for a healthy, white American man of Biden's age and background.
