"But Biden's age" is a dog whistle for "but that Black woman could be president." Biden and Trump are nearly the same age, and both are known for making gaffes, but journalists and pundits would have you believe Biden is considerably older than Trump and more at risk of not being able to do the job.

So why all the focus on Biden's age and not Trump? Because Biden has a Black female vice president, and the idea of VP Harris ascending to the highest office is a bridge too far for many in the media. They would rather have another Trump presidency than have VP Harris become POTUS.

They know the age argument is a hard sell with Trump in the race, so they have started to cast doubt on VP Harris. I have read op-eds and watched commentary on how VP Harris is unqualified or not ready for the job, and my response to that is, shut the fuck up. No, really, shut the fuck up.

VP Harris spent 10+ years in prosecutorial roles, 4 years as a Senator, and 3+ years as Vice President. But some of these unserious nincompoops would have you believe someone with VP Harris' experience is less qualified to be President than a real estate developer / reality TV personality.

Should anything happen to President Biden, VP Harris would be one of the most qualified people in U.S. history to ascend to the highest office. We have systems in place to ensure a smooth transition, and America will continue on. Eight U.S. presidents died while in office; we are not new to this.

So the next time someone tries to suggest Biden is too old and/or VP Harris isn't qualified, tell the unserious nincompoop to fuck off because they are more worried about a Black woman in the Oval Office than the fate of our country.

Meh. Biden IS too old. He even said he only planned to be a one term president at the start of his first term. They SHOULD have made it Kamala for prez and someone else for VP this run. Joe can function well as an advisor or dignitary.
People forget the prez has to be ready for shit-hits-the-fan too

🤔We’ve had a succession of young leaders in the UK culminating in Rishi Sunak. They haven’t exactly covered themselves in Glory. Boris Johnson was an unmitigated disaster, Liz Truss nearly bankrupted the country and Rishi ‘rich’ has no control over his party. Give me wiser and older all day long.

His campaign literally did.

Here's hoping that he does get elected, but it still doesn't mean democrats aren't bad at planning.

He’s been ready for tons of shit hitting the fan for 3 years! You’re focusing on superficial things & not on all the things that are getting done. Listen to the government people who actually work with him every day instead of Rep propaganda. Smart, focused, decisive, handling all the details, etc.

We’re way past “hitting the fan”. Biden literally came into a sh*t storm & has navigated it very well. People forget, WE chose him & that he chose to run b/c he understood the stakes. No other ‘20 Dem candidate gained his momentum or would’ve beat Drumpf. He’s older, but he’s our only current hope.

When shit-hits-the-fan I mean a military response in short order. He's been very lucky that hasn't happened so far. And he's done a good job. But he will likely not make it through the term, and it's better to have Harris run as Pres now because the GOP will try and interfere with the transfer later

He went to Kyiv. He's got more gumption & life in him than any of the Trump boot lickers, and orders of magnitude more than TFG. I would have preferred he not listen to idiots who have been shown to be wrong about Russia for the last 20 years, but damn, the guy is doing the job. Stop whining.

Meh, this is silly and pointless because Pres. Biden is the nominee.

So you have Pres. Biden, who is fully competent and doing an incredible job, or the guy who doesn't know his wife's name, vowed to be a dictator and says his main goal is revenge.

You sound ridiculous.

Your president doesn't just have to be able to negotiate with the GOP over school loans.
He has to be able to wake up a 3am, and decide in 60 seconds what the response is going to be against missiles in the air.
I get so bloody tired of people forgetting that.

Nobody would be bothered if two guys around 80 wanted to become firefighters and were told no. (Especially if one was an arsonist)
And yet the job of president has not just mental but a physical cost and toll.
Imagine a Harris/Booker campaign :D
