The guy who got more done in one term as president than most get done in two terms is too old for what?
Here is a list of many available detailing some of Biden's legislative and executive successes.

I'd rather vote for a competent 82-year old with a moral compass than a profoundly stupid thin-skinned 78-year old failed dictator bent on vengeance and a complete autocratic rule.
Go Joe!!!

It seems to me that if what they delivered by any normal metric would have been pretty impressive, then they did not underdeliver. IMO, a huge problem is a media that is loathe to praise Democrats.

(13,480 posts)Trump is only a few years younger and has never had real mental competence because he has the mental development of a spoiled 10-year-old who thinks tantrums are what gets you everything you want. Ill take the knowledgeable, experienced, nice guy who quietly gets his job done and who is respected by other world leaders, many of whom despised Trump and believed him to be an ignorant idiot. A man whose physical condition was so poor that he had to take a golf cart to a building that other leaders easily walked to! And that was now several years ago! Trump has the mental age of a 10-year-old and the physical age of a 90-year-old.

(2,403 posts)the word salad that comes out of tRump's mouth to know that you are listening to an unhealthy mind. Not that it just full of shit, but literally his brain is old, worn out, and shot.

Got the following in an email from a progressive relative in the Netherlands:
As with the crime concerns in 2020 and 2022, you can't tell voters their opinion is stupid. You have to acknowledge their concerns and strategize around it
