@w7voa ...just not any who are willing to attach their name to their words.

@CardboardRobot @CNN Yeah, but that wasn't their job... it was Biden's.

@karlpybara I think the concern is less that he's too old to be president and more that he's too old to campaign effectively and that might be enough to hand the election to his opponent.

If he can't clearly articulate calling Trump on his lies, he doesn't belong on the stage with him.

@Flowermob Then why was she VP in the first place?

Like I said, it brings up a lot of uncomfortable questions.

@scotttiger@mastodon.social @politico @CNN @TheAtlantic They definitely acknowledged that he clearly won this battle, but I think that's very different from endorsing him to win the war.

@notabird The worst thing that can happen is that his apparent incapability to be president hands the election to his opponent.

@Flowermob Well, Obama would be constitutionally prohibited.

As for the others, then the Dems would have to explain why they passed over Harris, and that's a whole can of worms nobody wants to open.

@interfluidity

> there are also a lot of very brilliant, more detached people associated with this administration

With the administration? Yes. With the campaign? I'm not so sure.

@interfluidity A lot of people are saying that, but Occam's Razor is that they're simply making the same mistake Hillary did in 2016 and vastly underestimating their opponent.

Wow. Biden set the bar so fucking low that Trump was able to blow past it without a single true fact on his side.

Just had an idea for the most viable 3rd party concept in the history of #America:

The NO-SPAM Party. Our platform is simple: We will aggressively pursue any means possible, including executive, legislative, or judicial action, to limit or eliminate unwanted texts, calls, and emails. None of our candidates will ever contact you, unsolicited, for political donations.

On all other issues, we'll defer to the non-weasely career bureaucrats and renowned experts who actually know what the fuck they're doing.

TFW you get a random email that starts out being heavily complimentary of your work on a project...

...before realizing that the name of the project was the most specific the praise ever got.

Fuckin spammers, man.

If they can't get the Trump v USA decision out by tomorrow, we should just impeach the lot of them.

@SPF Agreed. "Flipping the bird" is the old-person version of "GFY"

@rossgrady Do they bother you in parking lots when they're just sitting quietly?

No, the problem is still people. Those who are stupid and inconsiderate enough to helm a few tons of steel and plastic while texting their friends.

The game "Last Train Home" has a low key joke that had me in stitches...

One of the characters remarks offhand: "Winter came. Who would've guessed?"
