Voters struggling with the Biden age issue.

1. I don't struggle with it...

Our Vice President would make an excellent President if even the worst should happen

[OAITW r.2.0]

2. Kamala Harris would be a great POTUS should Joe have his demise.

We would not miss a step.

3. He's not going to die. He's fine. Too late to worry about his age.

[bdamomma]

4. I rather have Joe

than an autocratic freaking dictator /criminal thug who wants camps to lock up people, and to go after political opponents, etc.

This is not Russia.

7. The media's over-the-top hand-wringing on Biden's age makes them complicit with the attempt to overturn democracy.

Vlad sends his regards.

[bdamomma]

22. Vlad will get his

comeuppance. All dictators do sooner or later.

5. Biden is healthier than tffg.

I think the people most "concerned" about Biden's age are those in the national press, who want either a close election or for tffg [the fat former guy] to win.

9. TFFG LOL.

Truthful reporting is pitiless.

6. I think it's the media...

Who is struggling to keep voters misinformed and we aren't buying it.

8. We have a good bingo!

10. That is so unfair! Mads Mikkelson is younger and handsomer even with the grey

O no......that isn't Mads. The young guy next to the photo (think his name is President Biden, right?) looks far kinder.

11. I'll take the old man Biden over a raving evil lunatic anyday!

[no_hypocrisy]

12. Sheer hypocrisy

Reagan was almost 10 years younger than Joe. He was faltering from hidden Alzheimer's Disease. And the media was touting "The Reagan Revolution" in 1984 when he ran for re-election.

[Rstrstx]

13. This election will be about a mentally declining old president...

..running against Joe Biden

[DFW]

14. The media hype behind this theme is so obvious, even in Germany, they were using it against Merkel

The phrase is "alt und verbraucht," or "old and used up." EXACTLY the same thing the US media, at Republican urging, was using against Hillary in 2016, and now against Biden. Why not against Trump? Two reasons, as I see it. One, the Republican media bosses don't want it, and two: anyone who doesn't already see this in Trump will vote for him even if he crawls to a podium on live TV, wearing only a diaper, babbling about the price of sand in the Sahara, and yelling "Armenia First" while waving a Russian flag.

16. I think of Trump as a symptom, not the disease.

I think many, if not most, Republicans don't like or respect Trump. What he does is not important to them. He's some kind of demented mascot. If he's a crook, he's their crook. If he's a traitor, he's their traitor. They do not hold him accountable and they do not expect to be held accountable for supporting him. The media calls MAGA a cult, but I don't see Trump as a charismatic leader. He is tolerated with covert eye-rolls. I think the most important unifying factor for Republican supporting voters is a well-cultivated sense of victimhood. They respond to Pavlovian push buttons.

15. Joe's...

...not old, he's "experienced"...

...and how do you gain experience without being here long enough to gain it?

...we all could croak at any time for a variety of reasons...

...croaking is a natural process not exclusively associated with age...

...

17. Problem is - most of us are older so he looks fine to us

But to the younger generation, he’s really old. Older than some of their grandparents.

[Hugin]

18. That's what a Vice President is for...

The media is tripping up on not mentioning President Biden’s opponent hasn’t announced his running mate and he endorsed lynching his last VP.

[mackdaddy]

19. Joe is a fablous ADMINISTRATOR. He leads an actual TEAM and gets things done.

They call it an Administration for a reason. Joe has been in government for decades as a lawmaker and now over a decade working in the Whitehouse putting those laws into action. He KNOWS how the government works and applies that knowledge.

And it is not just Joe Biden. He has assemble a team to run the government of the entire country. Yes he has the final say on policies and actions but lets his subject experts do what they do. He has done what a true leader should do and set up the team so that things can carry on smoothly with him presiding or if he has to hand things to his #1 assistant.

And then to compare this to the clown show, train wreck that was and is Donald Trump where everything was about him and not the people of this country.

Drama and Chaos vs Calm and Cool Competency.

I am astounded how many of our electorate choose the incompetent Clown show.

[hay rick]

20. You have to grow old but you don't have to grow up.

Constructive participation in democracy requires effort- and that effort is optional. The clown show dismisses the need to explore issues and embrace empathy for others. It substitutes Punch and Judy entertainment that values shock over substance and panders to cheers and jeers from the audience.
