This is exactly what we're talking about. Trump is essentially just as old as Biden and acts far more senile that Biden does, yet they have no problem voting for Trump.
Just look at how
@Greenman complained about Biden not being able to speak in complete sentences and then went completely silent when given numerous examples of Trump's insane ramblings. They are lying when they say that is a reason they will not vote for Biden.
Of course MAGAts are disingenuous, that's who they are and they've devolved completely into Trump cultists.
But you're preaching to the choir here. I agree Biden has overall done a good job, and as he runs again, I 100% support him. I'm not arguing that an alternative Democrat would out-do Biden (in fact, I'm on record as saying I'm pretty sure Newsom would do worse). Having said that, it's a bullshit argument to say all candidates are equivalent targets. Voters really don't like his age, and they really, really don't like who would become POTUS if he passed away in office. (I don't hate Kamala Harris, but for POTUS, I would choose a LOT of other Democrats before her.)
So a lot of dumb fuck voters have convinced themselves that is a lot worse than the actual reality of his job performance, and the performance of the economy. I'm not talking about MAGAts that can't be convinced, I'm talking about independents and even moderate Democrats who are not solid votes for Biden as of today. In November? Who knows, I certainly don't.
And to be crystal clear, I'm not in favor of Joe stepping aside now and yielding the ground to a younger candidate. And it's dumb as fuck that here in mid January, there are progressive voters who keep banging that drum. We're already at the point where you follow that old cliche, "dance with the one you came with."
My point was only that different candidates have different baggage: real, perceived or manufactured by the opposition. And I agree that the MSM is somewhat complicit in this, as they try to appear "fair and balanced" instead of lambasting outright GOP lying. It's partly why we are where we are as a nation; voters have been duped for way too long and many vote against their own self interests.
I was more surprised that like 65% of them polled believed the election was stolen, than that he won.
GOP voters are almost all cultists now, so this shouldn't surprise anyone. You have to do a shit load of mental gymnastics to vote for Donald Trump.
