Democracy Matters Jul 3, 2024
The problem in America isn’t that Joe Biden is old. It is that a former president who plotted to kill the next two people in the constitutional line of succession is not being challenged as he attempts to return to the White House. But sure, let’s keep pretending that Joe Biden’s age is what really matters, and ignore the lying insurrectionist running the Republican Party. — Jason Easley, Managing Editor, PoliticusUSA

@DemocracyMattersALot can’t two things be true at once? Trump is a liar, con man, threat to democracy, AND Biden is too old and doesn’t appear to be able to manage 4 more years.

Trump can’t win, and isn’t there someone else who is a better choice for 4 more years than Biden.

@WhenImTryingToHide @DemocracyMattersALot who? Who do you want? Did you do anything to promote someone else or are you expecting someone to do all of that for you? And don’t you think that IF there was someone else they would’ve stepped up, the DNC would’ve promoted them, Joe would’ve endorsed them? Joe is smart, politically and intellectually. He surrounds himself with people that are smarter than you or most. SUPPORT JOE. It is our opportunity to keep democracy

@clane22 @DemocracyMattersALot anybody but Trump. That’s the only requirement.

The question is who will motivate those people that are either thinking of sitting it out, or unsure who to vote for, to vote for whoever is at the top of the ticket.

Ahh this democracy where everyone who haven't the same public opinion as me must be banished , and you musn't see them nor they can answer me.

Such beautiful manichaeism without the need to have any arguments.

If you are so much in the right, why do you even speak in public?

You _are_ _right_ after all...

@WhenImTryingToHide @DemocracyMattersALot Kamala Harris is standing right there to do the job of POTUS the moment Joe Biden should be unable to do so.

Still true: Biden's age, isn't about Biden's age. Biden's age, is about Kamala's skin. There are millions of Americans that unironically think that stopping Trump is the most important thing in the world... but also think, "Wait a minute! If Biden can't finish his term, that Black woman gets to be president!" 🤔So I guess stopping Trump is only the second most important thing in the world.

So here is a hot take for you. Biden is old, you are right. But the U.S. has taken in old before. Woodrow Wilson suffered from a stroke, Reagan has been reported to have been suffering from Alzheimer's during his second term. Yet, America survived, democracy survived. "Old" is nothing new to the U.S., we've dealt with it before, and we turned out okay.
The U.S. has never elected a convicted criminal and serial liar. That convince you you dunce?

@manvsxerox @DemocracyMattersALot totally agree. Biden’s age isn’t an issue for me personally, after all, we have Kamala and a lot of experienced and talented patriots around him, but, my concern is more about the people who don’t follow politics as closely, who reduce Biden to ‘and old man’

I hope those people realize the risk of Trump and decide to go vote accordingly.

@WhenImTryingToHide @DemocracyMattersALot Are you stating that Trump is unable to win, or that he must not be allowed to win?

Because people said the former a LOT in 2016.
Before he managed to stack the Supreme Court and get away with insurrection.

@alexglow @DemocracyMattersALot he must not be allowed to win. He must be beaten at the ballot box by a huge margin. For the sake of the future of the US, and in my mind, the world.

I think if he loses by anything other than a huge margin, the GOP, MAGA, will create chaos and try to steal power.
