We already have age limits at the lower end. Why are people so against age limits at the upper end?

McConnell is a liar and has done a lot of harm to the US. He and many others like him should have retired many years ago.

I"m old too. I will retire from my job at retirement age. Other people could use the job opening I'd leave.

And I think Trump is a criminal/liar and too old to run for president. And Biden is just too old to run. Looks like I'll be forced to vote for Biden because he doesn't know when to bow out gracfully.

<This post was all over the place> McConnell is too old and needs to retire. Back on topic!

Is there another well enough known (and well supported within the party) Democrat candidate who could have a reasonable chance to beat the orange sack of shit at this point in time?

No, but that's mainly because the DNC fell around Biden and hasn't moved away from him since before he was elected. If he'd decided not to run, you've have seen several Democrats get bigger coverage as well as be more active, with help do the DNC to make sure you knew about a few of them.

Unless I'm mistaken, we got Biden or RFK. Between the two, I'd go for Biden any day.

lmao rfk is a fucking idiot of gigantic proportions.

[–] Hairyblue@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

RFK is a science denier and republican's donate to him to pull votes away from Biden.

Even RFK's family thinks he is an idiot and say please don't vote for him.

RFK talks crazy too.

No, Biden said he was running. If Biden wasn't running there would be a primary to decide.

Yes, Biden is this elections candidate, but who is growing into the next nomination?

For 2028? I think that is too far away to know. My pick for the last 2 elections was Bernie-and he is too old. Did you have someone in mind?
