It is a liability. But you keep going with the blind optimism Thrill Sep 2023 #17

cool story bro Blues Heron Sep 2023 #19

OK, I'll grant that it's a liability and also that there's nothing to be done about it. DickKessler Sep 2023 #76

This. Disregarding the fact rather than addressing it head-on is a mistake. Scrivener7 Sep 2023 #18

maybe Biden should hold a press conference and acknowledge his age? bigtree Sep 2023 #42

Sure. Because that's what I said. Never. Scrivener7 Sep 2023 #80

What would you like to be addressed? edisdead Sep 2023 #85

In my perfect world, Democrats should be flooding the talk shows and the Sunday shows, Scrivener7 Sep 2023 #104

I'm not sure where you imagine I have called for an alternative to Biden? tritsofme Sep 2023 #69

A factor to you? Or you just want to remind us he's old. LakeArenal Sep 2023 #73

So this is how both of you "newbies" get such high post counts; useless argument sub-threads! Thanks for the tip, I guess. Bongo Prophet Sep 2023 #81

Yup Thrill Sep 2023 #15

If it is a concern treestar Sep 2023 #78

Well, exactly. We need to fight back on it. And fighting back on it doesn't amount to Scrivener7 Sep 2023 #83

I think they would if we had something like a "coordinated response team" feeding them effective Scrivener7 Sep 2023 #103

So you agree edhopper Sep 2023 #31

Bingo!!! LakeArenal Sep 2023 #46

Why not blame the media? treestar Sep 2023 #77

why would the media be so successful in convincing so many people that Biden is too old., everyonematters Sep 2023 #20

When Trump couldn't manage a ramp, people discussed it all week Sympthsical Sep 2023 #25

What are you concerned about? edisdead Sep 2023 #89

Nah, it isn't just the media. Ace Rothstein Sep 2023 #54

Again why? edisdead Sep 2023 #91

Same reason as Ace Rothstein I guess. According to DU rules I can't answer that. nt doc03 Sep 2023 #106

I personally have no issue with Harris but I think she'll get crushed in a General Election. Ace Rothstein Sep 2023 #110

Good ones treestar Sep 2023 #95

Maybe Biden should just start acting stupid and nuts like Trump gulliver Sep 2023 #101
