QuoteTrump is only three years younger than Biden, much fatter, less active, with a worse diet, and has show far more signs or metal decline,

as Tribe called Quest used to say "believe that if you want" but Trump is out doing rallies and interviews while Biden does extremely carefully managed press conferences that he still messes up. age affects different people differently

QuoteI guess the fact that he's a criminal and a traitor doesn't bother him, either.

no it doesn't

Have you see Trumps rallies?  He's confused, he forgets where he is, he slurs his words, he can't keep people straight, he forgets who the current president even is, he stands there looking confused, he even referred to Argentina as a person.

RC - why would you ask people who they're voting for then get mad when they tell you?

chainsaw - do you have a link?

Mad at you? I could care less about you. I'm mad at Trump. He's a wanna be dictator. A pathalogical liar. A traitor to democracy. And Chainsaw is right. Don't you watch the news? I think the only reason you like Trump is because you like chaos.

I'm voting for the guy that doesn't need the Cookie Monster to explain the economy.

Just hoping to speak sociologically here and hopefully not upset anyone....

Something I have noticed, it seems like support for Biden is not ardent, it's because he is the party's nominee, and he's not Trump. From what I see, most people who support Trump do so with almost a fanaticism bordering on a cult of personality. I don't know what if anything that augers for this November, since an unenthusiastic vote counts as much as a fervent one, but it is something I saw four years ago and witness maybe even more now. If anything in the heart of redness where I dwell, Trump supporters are at fever pitch. There's no political discussion in this area, only a gang mentality with a lot of anger behind it. Whether that would be mirrored if I went to a deep blue area, I don't know, but it seems like this election is about settling on someone versus rabidly supporting another.

To be honest I'd take any president we've had in this century, especially Bill Clinton, over either President Trump or President Biden in 2024. I do not welcome a coming four years under either man.

I think that's accurate. The election is about Trump, and the majority of Biden voters (myself included) are simply casting a ballot against Trump. I would have considered voting for a different Republican candidate against Biden if they had nominated one, but Trump is simply unacceptable to a large percentage of the electorate.

IMHO, the "cult" started on the left. Things just got weird, & you couldn't talk to people anymore.
It seemed to begin with Amy Poehler singing a Leonard Cohen song for five minutes instead of telling jokes on SNL...
Then The Cast of Hamilton begged Mike Pence not to take away their rights...
Things got outa hand pretty quick.

There are multiple instances of this kind of thing.

He was persistently saying "Obama" instead of "Biden'" in another rally.   Sometimes he slurs words and can't finish his sentences.
Basically if he isn't reading from a  teleprompter, it's addled.

By Argentina I assume he meant their new president. Seems like something MSNBC put together to try and shift the attention away from Biden. It's just regular unscripted talking


Biden isn't insanely demented he's just a little too old https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8sT8m098Pk  If I thought he had some particular wisdom I guess I could overlook it?

Biden has the wisdom to take advice from others, which is why his mental state doesn't especially worry me (although of course I'd prefer another choice if it were possible).

All of our presidents have been criminals, including the current one.

Respectfully, Lester, you say this as though all criminals are equally bad.   Do you mean it?
