    The fact that we’re talking about either of these guys as viable candidates, and that they will likely be the nominations, is wild. Biden would be 86 and Trump would be 82 if they make it to the end of the term.

      It’s wild that people act shocked that the Democratic party is backing an incumbent president tbh

          Who’s we? As Dem who watched him destroy Trump in the debates and election plus the amount of progressive leaning bills that have been passed on super thin majorities make hmm the perfect person to do it again

            And Democratic people that wants more progressive policies do and are able to do it via downballot. It’ll take time when demographics shift to liberal-majority which is really arguably center-ish at best. At the moment, we have 1/3 liberal, 1/3 moderate, and 1/3 conservative.

          I know, but it would be a really bad choice for an incumbent president not to run given that they pretty much always have an advantage

      I personally feel like the great American experiment has failed if these two fucktards are our choices.
