Andrea Singmaster is thankful for President Joe Biden. He helped secure funding to clean up a contaminated site in her Philadelphia suburb and his efforts to crack down on Medicare drug prices will help family members financially manage arthritis and Crohn's disease.
The mainstream media has really been harping on Biden’s age lately. But they often forget to mention that the reason age is important is that it’s an indicator of health and mental acuity. Trump is almost as old, but if you ignore age and directly compare Biden and Trump on the actual important factors, health and mental acuity, Biden comes out far ahead.
If the choice actually comes down to Biden or Trump, and if you were only basing your vote on their health today, you’d be an idiot to vote for Trump. That would be on top of all of the other, much more important reasons to prefer Biden to Trump. Like they say in the article, Biden’s agenda is popular. And on the other hand, Trump is a fascist fraudster sexually abusive criminal who already came within inches of overthrowing our government.
The question is. People want neither, as they’re both, very, very, very old
The problem is that the real choice in 2024 will be to vote for whoever the Democratic candidate is, whether it’s Biden or not, or you can vote for whoever the Republican candidate will be.
But among the Republican candidates, only Chris Christie is willing to tell the truth about January 6. Politically, I don’t agree with Christie, but he’s literally the only Republican candidate who is not actively trying to destroy our country. But if you think age is an important factor, and the GOP comes to its senses and doesn’t nominate Trump, in all likelihood, you’ll end up with somebody who is actively trying to destroy our country.
It’s a fucking disaster. On top of that, look at Ronald Reagan. He started having memory problems during his second term, and publicly he did fine, because he surrounded himself with people who would cover for him. If Biden starts having problems, we can decide what to do at that point.
Do I think age should be an important factor in elections? Yes. But it can’t be a factor in 2024 because it will throw us all over a cliff.
