I'd rather have good people who are old than bad people who are young

unrelated but this is why I hate the phrasing "my *preferred* pronouns" or "I use pronoun/pronouns" it sounds optional, a preference or just what brand you happen to be using rn
I like "my pronouns *are*" or "Alex *is* a he/him" not optional

Properly gendering someone isn't something we let them have as a treat if they're good. We really can't let it become conditional; that plays into the idea that it's optional in general.

there's actually no evidence much less proof that Biden is or was in cognitive decline and still regularly appears in public and gives speeches and the like a year after the election.
but leaving that aside, linking the two only serves to flatten out and hide the ways in which Trump is horrible.

They are in no way equal. Biden came into the Presidency with knowledge and experience and acted in a way that we expect. Also is not a career criminal. But is old and in cognitive decline.
Trump's failings are myriad and well publicized at this point. But he is also old and in cognitive decline.

I'm on a transphobe list for sticking up for Sarah McBride and saying misgendering her is always wrong.
No, I do not “pick on” trans people, I have never done anything like this. And frankly, I think the willingness of some people to completely invent accusations of transphobia in the desperate search for a cudgel against ideological opponents suggests they don’t really care about transphobia
Listen dude, you can try and ride for this guy all you want, but the trans userbase of this platform fucking hates him because he picks on them. I'm going to listen to the trans people I know who are telling me he's bad. Plus I've been in these threads and seen it

I believe strongly people should be judged on the content of their character, their words and deeds not the color of their skin, their gender, sexuality, religion, age, nationality, disability, height, weight, etc

the only Kennedy Running for office, who isn't even a Kennedy is 32 years old.
any ways, is Nancy Pelosi the same as Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham? or the Clintons? how interesting, at what age do all old people become bad? and why aren't you?

Sorry, old politicians are too damn old. I say this as an old person. They’ve always been here, the McConnells and Pelosis and Grahams. Sick to death of them, and the Clintons, and the Kennedys.

is Reagan being old what made him a bad President? a bad person? people don't remember but Reagan ran for President in 1968, 12 years before he finally won so if Ron had been President in his 50s and 60s rather than his 70s would he have been good?
Reagan was very old. We're still traumatized by him.

I mentioned "thought terminating cliche" and cults earlier, here we see one in action, maybe also the "dead cat" school of debate where you throw a dead cat on the table and everyone is shocked into silence
but really this is just stupid and the verbal equivalent of throwing your own poop.

It's a truism of the internet and like low information voters than having older leaders is bad, which twists whats wrong with Trump or Mitch McConnell is their age not their politics, or that everyone old has to have conservative/bad politics
which is bullshit

I hate that like the internet has nuked people's brains, I saw someone bitching about "why is the President ALWAYS! like 90!"
Obama was in his 40s, so was Bill Clinton, W was 54, just in the last 10 years have Presidents been old (and people could have voted for the 59 year old)

I think Biden's long time in the Senate and then 8 years as VP hurt him in one key way, he took on leadership like a Senate leader or the VP, as the party's sin eater, the guy everyone could rag on or who took fire, and no one protected the boss

from the 1200s till 1827 students getting a MA at Oxford had to swear an oath to never reconcile with Henry Symeonis, even long after who Henry Symeonis was was lost.
only in 1912, 85 years after the oath was abolished was Henry Symeonis' identity rediscovered, they still don't know what he did.

this is of course, not what a 50 state strategy is or has ever been,
50 state does not mean, has never meant, the candidate for President runs in all 50 states no matter what the polling says
50 state means the national party supports all 50 state parties and fights winnable elections there

She didn't come to Indiana at all. She sent Kaine who zipped into Gary, spent a few hours, and left.
The Democratic party as a whole doesn't seem to have a 50- state strategy.

just not in front of Trump himself, at least unless Trump says its fine.
Zohran Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist:
NBC: "[D]o you think that President Trump is a fascist?"
Mamdani: "[T]hat's something that I've said in the past. I say it today."

it is kinda amazing that the big thrust of Mamdani's campaign was "I will fight Trump!" to have really the first huge news event since he won be a warm civil meeting with... Trump.
