General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Jon Stewart should stand aside and let someone younger run the show [View all]I mean, the fact is that Biden is an old man. That's not a disqualifying condition. Trump is also an old man. Jon Stewart acknowledged that and told jokes about it. That's not both sides crap.
Unlike Trump, Biden is competent, has accomplished a lot as president, and has managed to avoid a whole host of negative things like sexually assaulting people, inciting insurrection, or advocating abandoning our allies. Stewart made all that clear as well. Again, not both sides crap.
But pretending that Biden's age isn't real or that his age doesn't occasionally show isn't going to win anyone to his side. Reacting angrily to anybody who mentions it, and insisting that Biden is not an old man, is not going to inspire any sort of confidence. Clearly we want people to vote for Biden. Acknowledging (or even making jokes about) his age isn't going to prevent voters from doing that. Voters can see that for himself. Insisting that we all pretend otherwise, and making that pretense a requirement for "true" support, seems patently absurd.
