    For all of y’all anxiety-pilled people: this is great news. Biden was stuck in negative momentum because his health issues had been exposed and were not going to stop resulting in terrible headlines, which is a problem whoever comes next is not going to have, unless the delegates are somehow stupid enough to pull another dinosaur from below the rug.

    More interestingly: now that Biden has pulled out because he’s patently too old, as it was a concern for plenty of voters, this is a golden opportunity to put the focus on the other candidate whose age is a somewhat less obvious but still noticeable issue.

        Yeah, but just think of all the clips we can show of Faux News talking heads saying someone in their 80s is too old for President, and do the ol’ switcharoo

      Exactly! We now have a much younger, well-spoken, and intelligent candidate who can square off against someone who probably can’t remember the last time they wiped their own ass. Let’s go, Kamala!

      I still I still believe that Biden is more cogent than Trump any dementia patient can rant about nonsense for 2 hours. It takes more brainpower when you can’t just rattle off whatever lies popped into your head 5 mid sentence.
