This is Alfred slander. He’s the only person on Earth who can slap sense into fucking Batman, not some old fuck who should have been in hospice care two years ago

There is at least one timeline where Alfred has rocked Superman’s shit just for daring to show his face after a fight he had where he injured batman.

Absolutely! I’d take Alfred, if he were the option. At least he could string together a sentence that makes sense. So essentially, our choice is between the Joker and the Riddler.

Can the Democrats please stop tolerating everything? We haven’t even officially declared a candidate. Let’s take a good look at our options and stop forcing the country into another awful Sophie’s choice.

Terrible analogy.

This is the goddamn DNC’s fault. They are allergic to supporting anyone that’s not an old school establishment Democrat.

Give us a suitable candidate. Biden is too old and everyone knows it.

Give us someone that is actually progressive and that actually wants to help the American people. We have a few very obvious issues that neither of our geriatric overlords are addressing.

  1. ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE. This is the most important one. Just do something. Anything. Nothing is being done and it’s getting hotter every year.

  2. Lower the cost of living. Rent is out of control. Food costs are out of control. It’s hard to live right now. Protect US citizens from corporate greed.

  3. Fix the real estate market. Most of us will never be able to own a house because several corporations have been allowed to run amok. Make it so the average person can buy a house.

  4. Healthcare for all. It’s not complicated.

  5. Stop the genocide.

Put someone forward with this obvious and simple platform, and I promise they win.

We are not married to Biden. Get us someone younger. Why is this so hard?

  1. During Biden’s first term, we’ve made several of the biggest steps toward addressing climate change, ever
  2. Biden has made huge steps, despite congressional opposition, in making education and healthcare more affordable
  3. The real estate and rental prices are local, and some of us live where our local politicians are at least trying

You did have someone younger. DURING THE PRIMARIES WHEN THIS DECISION WAS MADE. PAY ATTENTION.

Or perhaps you didn’t like the younger man’s decisions.

So then maybe age alone doesn’t hold all the answers to everyone’s problems as you’d have us all believe.

Because for someone to get elected, they need more than just YOUR vote, David.

There are millions of voters that might agree with points 1,2,3 and 4, but don’t think it’s a genocide. They won’t vote for your guy.

Millions more agree with 1,2,3 and 5. But your guys ideas on Healthcare is a non-starter. More lost votes.

See where I’m going here? Your guy didn’t even say a WORD about abortion rights, immigration, gun laws, unemployment, inflation, global war and terrorism, technology threats, the economy, tariffs, and so much more.

It’s not the DNCs fault. Do you know how the Republicans made abortion illegal again? They attacked it year after year, and nobody on the left defended it. We just sit in message boards passively crying “Give us a suitable candidate!!”

Especially cause it’s a myth that regular people have all the power when it comes to climate change. Most of the issues come directly from factories that could be doing better to minimize toxic waste and pollution but instead they spend billions lobbying to make it okay.

The fact the office of the president has to be likened to Alfred to make sense is quite underhanded and indicative of a greater issue.

And yet the most pressing issue right now is Alfred vs. Joker. It’s one or the other unless something drastic changes. So pick Alfred and then work on the next problem.

The ‘next’ problems are concurrent, unfortunately.

The GOP may very well wind up with a veto proof Congress at this rate and it will all be for nought.

No no, it’s 1st world human nature to make things worse. Why fix the billionaire problem now, when we can elect the joker and try and fix it then? It’ll be so much easier to fix it then, right?

Following your analogy to its logical conclusion, we’re about to send Alfred out to take care of this Joker problem. It seems like we should find a Batman instead, or at least a Robin, before Alfred gets his ass handed to him.

Bro have you seen Alfred fight?

The problem would not be Alfred losing, it would be stopping him from plugging the Joker like an out of charge phone because he has made very clear that he does not share Batman’s distaste for firearms.

This whole discussion is itself a metaphor, the people who are the most worried are the ones who understand the least about who they’re talking about.

One problem at a time means dealing with what’s in front of us with the tools we have at hand. Perfect is the enemy of good/better

Also Alfred is a fucking Chad

You had your chance at the primaries.

In fact there was a younger man,

Oh but no one liked his ideas.

So maybe age isn’t the real issue then.

Age isn’t the issue. Bidens age related decline is the issue. If Biden we’re still sharp and responsive it would be a different story but he’s neither.

The primarys are a Joke anyway. People like Gavin Newsom know better than to run or they’d risk the ire of those running the party.

Until we abolish the two party system our country is screwed anyway. Neither of the two parties would ever do that so it’s hopeless. Standing up for Joe at this point is just digging our countries own grave.

Joe is by far the least likely candidate to beat Trump despite the intense propaganda campaign being run right now. If Joe won’t be replaced then we’d better get used to seeing Trump in the news all day every day because that’s were we’re heading.

So you admit age argument has flaws but you’re still heavily leaning on the age thing as your only main theme. Your argument doesn’t compel me you actually are coherent enough to be making pot shots at anyone else’s coherency.
