    I don't think there is any doubt the next presidential election will be
    BIDEN VERSUS TRUMP II: Electric BOOOOOOOGIELOOO

    81 yr old versus a 77 yr old

    Even Mitch McConnel is 81 clinging to power with a death grip

    Why? They going to make decisions that won't affect them by and large.
    There, IMO, does not seem like most give a isht about service toward their fellow man
    as much as the power to control other people's lives.

    The world watches in shock and awe as two Old White Men are the best leaders America can come up with as their top nominees to lead their country the next four years. Even scarier is that one of them has the vocabulary of a middle school bully, is a raging sociopath and criminal, and has never once in his political career spoken without lies pouring from his mouth.

    IDK, that's crap my teenagers tell me - that I don't care about the future because I'll be dead. Aside from the fact that I plan on living quite a while longer, I also care more about the future now because I have children than I ever did when I was young and stupid like them.

    They're both old but only one is a insurrectionist and a traitor to the nation. "Both siding" it is utterly unhinged

    That kind of thinking is why the DNC trotted out Hilary and lost to Trump in the first place. I don't care about the color/race/sex of the person just give me some competent age appropriate options.

    Hilary lost to trump cuz she refused to campaign in Michigan/Wisconsin. She literally didn't visit the Midwest a single time

    Pure Democratic Arrogance

    See Above
    The DNC has it in their mind that people will vote for them because the other side is so repugnant
    They don't think they have to work for it . .. that all they have to do is point out how horrible the other side it

    I don’t like that our choices are two very old men and while ironing he has no chance I agree with Dean Phillips that we should have a compatible Democratic primary. This idea though that these candidates are just manufactured and put forward by the two parties ignores that they did win competitive primaries to get to where they are.

    In 2020 Biden survived a bruising primary. This time in 2020 many talking heads were suing Biden was done having come in 4th in the NH primary. In 2015 Trump was considered a joke who would never get close to the Presidency. He lost the IA caucuses and Cruz and Kasich made it competitive late.

    The inconvenient truth is Democratic and Republican voters chose these two candidates and we’ve been stuck with them.

    also this idea that Biden isn’t doing anything to win votes other than talking about how repugnant Trump is isn’t true. One of the the criticism of Biden is that he doesn’t directly go after Trump. What he as done though
    Is get a lot of legislation passed that benefits voters across the board. Perhaps I’m out of touch that I believe a President who does actually govern is doing something for the country.

    I think Kamala will take over if Biden wins. She's pretty young.

    Curious you push another maga scare tactic... Biden somehow dying and thus Harris becoming president. Do you have the same fear of mtg or stefanik becoming president should trump win?

    It's a basketball forum so I am not "pushing" anything. I get that you are with your non stop DnD posts but I don't care who anyone votes for here. I know you are working hard here since it's an election year and I appreciate your effort. I don't see MTG becoming VP. I would guess it will be Scott or the SD governor. They would be better than Trump if that answers your question.

    DnD is a political discussion forum that just happens to be hosted on a basketball forum. Scott and Noem are also trump vp possibilities as are mtg and stefenik. scott and noem might be better than trump (at least they haven't been guilty of rape, fraud, or insurrection), but are they good for America?

    Thanks for the explanation. Based on your post history, I would have guessed it was a propaganda medium.
