I agree with you. I don't think that Biden looks nor acts as 118 old. He looks pretty good for his age plus he keeps himself in shape. I don't think that the majority has written him off. People may mention his age, but they don't say that they would not vote for him. About the economy. I saw a poll on Axios where people were …
I agree with you. I don't think that Biden looks nor acts as 118 old. He looks pretty good for his age plus he keeps himself in shape. I don't think that the majority has written him off. People may mention his age, but they don't say that they would not vote for him. About the economy. I saw a poll on Axios where people were asked how they were doing financially and about 68% said that they were fine. When asked about the economy in general only about 38% said it was fine. Why this discrepancy? I think it is due to the MSM media that needs bad news to get an audience. And we democrats are not ostriches with our heads in the sand. We know that Biden is old, we just don't need it repeated over and over. You are right also Sherm, Trump is way worse in physical and mental health. If he wins the nomination we will have two old men, Biden, competent, a healthy body and a clear mind against a deranged, sociopath wannabe dictator and obese also. We democrats will vote for Biden and likely many independents. It is not that we have two choose between two evils, Biden is not evil, Trump is. It is sad to see people concentrating on Biden's age without no acknowledgement of his accomplishments and his administration. He is not an island either, it is teamwork or if something happened to him, the team would continue its great job. I don't have any problem whatsoever with Biden. I do have nightmares about Trump.
As JVL says, the problem is with the Voters! Educated / uneducated / supposedly independent... that grab onto his age as a detriment. Because partly he speaks softly, and sometimes slowly. Trump seems to run around like a maniac and spews his words out. I think the fact that he makes little sense seems not to matter to many. Biden makes sense with quiet words, Trumps spews nonsense loudly. People just hear the loud, spoken quickly, and he seems younger by far compared to Biden. Now, these are for the most part, I think, the folks that do not pay attention to the substance of politics as we do here in our little club. Which is sad. But a reality which has always been, for the most part.
Maybe we need an old fashioned smokey backroom meeting before or during the convention???How about Whitmer/Sherrod Brown? He is an awesome dude with a great workingman record.
I saw the discrepancy too! And they are calling it something (term escapes me now), but essentially as you said people say they’re doing great but everyone else is suffering terribly. THAT is what needs to be dealt with, the cognitive dissonance of what is actually happening and what they think is happening.
Dear Sherm:

Though I would not like losing him as a senator..
Sadly, the way Ohio is going, you may lose him regardless in 2024. He would make a great candidate for Pres, though, if only he wanted it.

You are right, it is part of disinformation by Republicans mainly and MSM.
