Democracy Matters

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

When I’m Trying to Hide Jul 4, 2024

@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.

No Gods , no Masters! RESIST Jul 4, 2024

@clane22
I just posted that anyone suggesting Biden is not the candidate would get an immediate block...
I had 2 try to argue... which was immediate block and they were not in my friends list...
WTF is wrong with these morons?🤣🤣

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.

@WhenImTryingToHide @DemocracyMattersALot

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?

When I’m Trying to Hide Jul 4, 2024

@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.

merlin / alex glow Jul 4, 2024

@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.

When I’m Trying to Hide Jul 4, 2024

@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.

@DemocracyMattersALot what the actual fuck are you prattling about?

Jonathan Hendry Jul 3, 2024

@DemocracyMattersALot

The problem is that all that is true about Trump and Biden is probably going to lose anyway because too many people think he's past his use-by date.

That's part of Democracy. On January 20th while Trump is being sworn in you can walk around DC with a sign that says "BIDEN ISN'T THAT OLD" but it won't matter at all.

Toby!Jul 3, 2024

@DemocracyMattersALot That is still only addressing symptoms without addressing the cause that made *any* of this possible in the first place.

Carl (He/Him)Jul 4, 2024

@DemocracyMattersALot I'm pretty sure you meant to "... ignore the thieving, lying, raping insurrectionist." Common mistake.

mickymorse Jul 4, 2024

@DemocracyMattersALot Treasonous media controlled by fascist owners will never tell the truth. NYT, WSJ, WAPO, fux, oan, newsmax. All are fake propaganda rags. The gop has corrupted the press for evil agendas. Ditto SCOTUS.

Trump & Epstein: Biz partners.Jul 4, 2024

@DemocracyMattersALot
Take a good look at this #poll:

T**** was at 49% BEFORE the #Debate. #Biden lost support, but T**** made NO gain. Biden's vote ISN'T GOING TO T****, they're moving into the "UNDECIDED" column. And come election day, does *anyone* think they'll suddenly go for #TheOrangeMenace? Hell no.

Hang in there, folks. Stop freaking out.

Botahamec Jul 4, 2024

@DemocracyMattersALot We also need a candidate who can defeat his fascist predecessor. We don't currently have that.

Jeff Phillips Jul 4, 2024

@DemocracyMattersALot I am convinced almost no Democrat is ignoring the threat Trump poses. However, some of us are very concerned that the 2024 version of the Biden campaign has not shown that he is capable of getting the rest of the country to understand the threat Trump poses. Based on Biden's record and Trump's obvious baggage, this race should not even be close, and yet Biden's behind in the polls. That's a big warning sign to me.

Petronis Jul 4, 2024

@DemocracyMattersALot absolutely agreed,and Happy 4th, unlike most independent day celebrations There's not much to celebrate this year being that a greedy demented narcissist,single handedly dismantled the constitution, effectively making this country what the forefathers were trying to get away from,a Kingdom.

@DemocracyMattersALot Both matter. The fact is that with two major wars in the world, which are likely to spread, America is without any competent leadership. It didn't have to be this way. It should not have come to this.

SearingTruth Jul 4, 2024

@DemocracyMattersALot

I agree, but that is not what the world saw or will remember fellow citizen Democracy Matters .

We witnessed a compassionate soul who had accomplished more than most any would hope, suffered more than many could withstand, but whose age had finally begun to consume him.

His core supporters, like me, will never abandon him.

But too many of those who were undecided have already decided not to vote, or vote for Trump.

And Trump and his henchmen and media outlets are going to keep replaying the many heartbreaking debate moments, and will win unless President Biden passes his spirit to the next generation.

So that Trump becomes America's first dictator.

Defeating everything President Biden, and generations of uncounted millions of Americans, fought and died for.

@DemocracyMattersALot Ikr? This pretense that Joe Biden's age is what really matters really sticks in my craw! Wake up, people! 😖 😡

Havyhh2 Jul 4, 2024

@DemocracyMattersALot in the end, choices in Nov not really about candidates, but whether we want to preserve democracy w/ decent pro-Americans vs have a go with dictatorship under MAGA lunatics.
Honestly can put aside the candidates for a clear view....each party makes intentions very clear. For details, urgently go read through MAGA Project 2025....what American really wants that? DEM plans for next four yrs can see with a simple search.
Can't see how it's even a choice..??

Big Beautiful Blue Wall Jul 4, 2024

@DemocracyMattersALot

It's dependent on only 6% of 'undecided voters' in only 3-4 Swing States.

Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Maybe Nevada.

Arizona and Georgia look bad for Biden.

The future of democracy is in the hands of a tiny number of frighteningly uncommitted voters.

It's a shame Democrats have refused to do something truly effective: to move to the big three. The polling averages show Trump winning them all.

Most pundits make no mention of this.

Both campaigns are spending all their money on 4-6 States, on only thousands of voters.

Each side will spend billions to reach those voters over the next six months.

Repubs are always misdirecting...This is about Harris being a black woman. They fear Biden handing the presidency to her.

Jack Linke 🦄Jul 9, 2024

@DemocracyMattersALot What kills me about these disingenuous arguments is that Trump is only 3 years younger! They're essentially the same amount of "old".

Democracy Matters

In fairness, Biden is 4% older. LOL.
