He's trying to thread a needle. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Uranium3006@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) He's a silent gen nursing home patient who's in the white house because our political system can't do any better. He needs to drop out of the race permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* Seems pretty coherent to me when I've watched his speeches. Depending on what news you pay attention to, they paint him as a bumbing baffon who's lost his mental facilities, which I don't think that's fair to say about someone unless that's actually happening (such as for trump). He does have a speech impediment though, which from what I understand he spent years trying to fix, so that's easy to chalk up to him losing his mental facilities if you take stuff out of context... What you could do instead of focusing on the fact that he's old, is talking about some of his shit policies, or the fact that he should step aside and let the new generation of leaders take over, ya know, ones who will actually be affected by the coming climate crisis, and other major world events ahead. I don't know why everyone is always so cavalier about causal agism. permalink fedilink source parent
