Donald Trump is now the oldest party nominee for president in US history
Joe Biden's age was his biggest liability — now Democrats can flip the script on arguments that Biden was too old to lead and apply them to Trump.
- At 78 years old, former President Donald Trump is now the oldest nominee running for president.
- Joe Biden, 81, dropped out of the race on Sunday and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, 59.
- If she becomes the Democratic nominee, Harris' age could be an advantage against Trump.
I want a president that doesn't have dementia, isn't a racist, is not a rapist, and doesn't have 34 felonies. One that didn't bang a porn star for an obscene amount of campaign fund money while their wife was home pregnant. Bonus points for not shitting their pants and having to wear diapers. (not the look I want representing our great country, some fat smelling like shit orange buffoon.)
And that's before all the laws he broke... And trying to undermine the American constitution... And the changing the system so he could be immune.
Let's not forget those things too.
On TOP! Of him being far too old.
Dementia Donald is no match for Capable Kamala
Oh no, it seems you didn't get the memo! Commenting on a candidates physical year count and mental decrepitude is now ageist and forbidden. Please be better in the future. - CNN
I just walked my dog past a big red pickup truck with stickers that had a picture of Biden with "I just shit my pants" and "BLM: Biden Loves Minors" (so classy) and it really struck me how extremely Biden focused the Republican memes have been.
Like we used to have "Pelosi is secretly running things" or like even Mitt Romney was running against Obama but his attacks were about Democrats as a whole, they were tax and spend liberals building the nanny state.
The flip side to Trump's immature style is that it IS extremely specific, and like you can't just go "actually it's Meatball Nikki Haley." Obviously you can invent different immature nicknames and memes but it is hard to telegraph them with the convention out of the way.

PASS THE TORCH He's done it many times, at the KKK rallies in the woods that he's probably attended.

Can him. Ban him. Afghanistan him. Kick him to the curb and pop the zit he is.
While I believe the individual reasoning of most Democratic voters is flawed or inadequately nuanced, the reasoning does exist to much greater extent than the R cult.
Far more important is that the typical Democratic voter's reasoning is now rooted in a sincere intent to choose what they believe is best for both themselves and anonymous others. The R cult correctly estimated the D cult's propaganda: It alone couldn't survive a change of candidate. The fact that the vast majority of Democratic voters would stay rooted in ideology never even occured to them.
Well done, average Democratic voter. If you want to stay engaged through midterms and the next cycle then know that the Green Party wet dream would be forced internal elections 2025 due to scaling. Take them over and they'll welcome it. There's very little national or state control over local chapters. They've a head start on local ballot access, legislative initiatives, communication of basic platform, logos, etc.
Winning a federal race doesn't matter to people I've met there. The Green Party itself would be readily sacrificed for national RCV. But, the wet dream is definitely that enough people engage to attract a candidate of the quality of Sanders in his prime, then scale exponentially to break two-party dichotomy.
Fuck party loyalty. Use them as a tool when it makes sense to do so. Volunteer as a Democrat to work the polls. Always stay loyal to your principles, just as you've done now. Learn about the means of elections and seize control of them.
