e; I wrote a better headline than the ABC editors decided to and excerpted a bit more
According to the poll, conducted using Ipsos’ Knowledge Panel, 86% of Americans think Biden, 81, is too old to serve another term as president. That figure includes 59% of Americans who think both he and former President Donald Trump, the Republican front-runner, are too old and 27% who think only Biden is too old.
Sixty-two percent of Americans think Trump, who is 77, is too old to serve as president. There is a large difference in how partisans view their respective nominees – 73% of Democrats think Biden is too old to serve but only 35% of Republicans think Trump is too old to serve. Ninety-one percent of independents think Biden is too old to serve, and 71% say the same about Trump.
Concerns about both candidates’ ages have increased since September when an ABC News/Washington Post poll found that 74% of Americans thought Biden – the oldest commander in chief in U.S. history – was too old to serve another term as president, and 49% said the same about Trump.
Part that drew my eye,
The poll also comes days after the Senate failed to advance a bipartisan foreign aid bill with major new border provisions.
Americans find there is blame to go around on Congress’ failure to pass legislation intended to decrease the number of illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border – with about the same number blaming the Republicans in Congress (53%), the Democrats (51%) and Biden (49%). Fewer, 39%, blame Trump.
More Americans trust that Trump would do a better job of handling immigration and the situation at the border than Biden – 44%-26% – according to the poll.
So that bipartisan border bill stunt was terrible policy, and it doesn’t seem to have done anything for the Democratic party politically
Can we please stop trying to compromise with fascists now?
It’s a fact that the chance of an incumbent has a higher chance of winning a reelection. So, I understand why we are going with Biden. Even Biden said he was only going to run once. But this isn’t just some random election. This will likely determine if America is going to exist past 2024
I don’t think Biden ever said that he would run only once. The news was that a few anonymous sources who were supposedly close to the Biden campaign said that he would not run for re-election and his campaign then denied that.

According to the same source he will be a 1 term president. Maybe they just covering their bases?

Yeah. The link I posted is a followup to that story, in which the Biden campaign says those rumors are false.
You have to read more than the headline (but even the headline has a hint that this is not Biden speaking directly). The article says “Four people who regularly speak with the 77-year-old Biden told Politico that it is unlikely he would run for reelection in 2024” It’s just rumors at best. More likely it’s propaganda to get people to not worry about his age.
Ya likely. Who knows except for him I guess. Well, at least we got Harris if he passes away. Can’t be said with Trump right now.
Jesus christ the hyperbole lol.
Is it tho? You think Trump is just joking when he talks about destroying our democracy?
The only ones destroying democracy are the ones literally censoring speech and criminally prosecuting their opponents. Literal fascism.

I mean, he is JUST saying he will do Fascism, but is he really gonna tho?
He’s not though.
That seems fair tbh. Leaking the surpreme court transcripts/documents etc is a massive deal. It’s illegal.
Where is the fascism in there though?
Again - the Democrats are literally censoring opinions and speech. Fascism.
The democrats are criminally prosecuting their political opponents. Fascism.
You cannot argue those aren’t fascism because they are straight from the fascist playbook.
Trump said to Hannity. “He says, ‘You’re not going to be a dictator, are you?’ I said: ‘No, no, no, other than day one. We’re closing the border, and we’re drilling, drilling, drilling. After that, I’m not a dictator.’”
So a dicator for 1 day is still a dictator. Or maybe he is just joking?
“Where is the fascism in there though?” Did you forget about the 91 indictments, 22 relates to him doing actually fascism? The cases where he already currently lost and owe 447million dollars(and counting). Or you choosing(conveniently) to ignore that?
Yes, obviously he is joking, and anyone with half a brain can see that. Closing the border doesn’t make you a dictator. If trump gets elected it’s in large part due to people wanting the border to actually be enforced/closed.
Which ones do you think relate to fascism?
Firstly, nothing to do with fascism. Secondly, everyone knows that civil suit is a joke. The banks - the ones that the government are saying were defrauded - literally testified that Trump did nothing wrong. The entire case was over before it began because the judge, who openly hates and wants to “get” trump, chose a valuation that’s easily only about 1/10th at the maximum of the true value of the property to go off. From there the ruling was merely a formality because he had decided that a property worth realistically over $300mil was only worth $18mil.
That decision will get overturned on appeal, even if it has to go to the supreme court or however high it can go, because it’s an absolute joke.
Well, it seems like you think this entire thing is a joke. Like that time he joked about injecting bleach, which has killed someone who tried it, or when he joked about the vaccine he helped create and took himself is a poison that can in fact kill people.
That’s the thing homie. His “jokes” have already killed people. Those braindead people you’re talking about are listening to his “jokes” and dying.
So you can continue to try and read between the lines. But when he says he will be a dictator, yo homie, I’m taking it at face value.
Good luck with your tribalism in November.
