That’s weird. I thought they said it was because he had a cold.

This is why people shouldn’t need to have to choose between two 80 year old candidates

The presidency requires a lot of travel. If your performance and capabilities are significantly affected by jet lag, you probably shouldn’t be the president of a large and powerful nation. I imagine Trump will be affected just as much by jet lag as well if he were elected.

If he would actually work. The last time he just did a record amount of golfing and shitposting.

“It was his stutter.”

“He had a cold.”

“He overprepared and got flustered.”

“A malicious actor used an Inator on him.”

“He was jet lagged”

I wonder what the next excuse is gonna be.

Why is every doom and gloom political post always from a less than 1 month old account? Suspicious that.

I recently switched to Lemmy from Reddit. You can find a much longer post history from me on Reddit. Same username.

There’s literally no reason to believe you are the same person. We we believed that, it would be an excellent way to exploit us.

Even so, this ain’t Reddit. You need to go ahead and learn that right now.

You’re new here, and you’re posting stuff that opposes the only person standing between America and a rapid fall into violent authoritarianism. Welcome to Lemmy and don’t carry water for fascists if you want to have a good time.

Look, I’ll vote for Biden this fall, because really, voting blue is the only serious option. And I’d be all for Weekend At Bernie’s the entire 4 years of his second term; there is a chain of succession and he’ll have people around him that are competent. I’m not worried about that. Anything else is helping donnie.

But c’mon. Is Biden the only candidate that the Democratic Party really has? Can he actually win? After that performance?

My profile on Reddit says “I’m done with Reddit. You can find me on Lemmy.World. Same username.”

I just saw one of OPs posts from 3 days ago. They were one of those people saying Biden was committing genocide.

So they are just anti-Biden period and switched to a different criticism. The “genocide Joe” label wasn’t sticking so they changed to the new one.

Safe to block.

Yes, I’ve been saying that for 9 months now. Because it’s true.

So they are just anti-Biden period and switched to a different criticism.

I don’t care about Biden being old. In fact, I think it’s sad that people care about his age more than they care about him committing genocide.

This post is about the Democrats being liars, not about Biden’s age.
