So what you're talking about is a primary contender from the democratic party, but generally the incumbent party doesn't have a primary for the president. Your only real options are the Democrat (Biden, unless he dies), or the Republican (looking like Trump, but they will have a primary). You can vote for other people, but it doesn't do anything. You might as well try to get the better option than choosing not to vote out of spite, and getting whatever happens regardless.
Or unless he dies. He's basically the same age as Biden and unlike Biden hasn't taken care of himself.
Yeah, totally an option, or he is found guilty of treason or some other disqualifying thing. I was just pointing out that Republicans do have a primary this election for president, so there are more options for them.
Yeah, there just seems to be this meme of "Biden, old man, about to die" that never gets applied to Trump.
Probably because of how hard right-wing media has pushed it. Though him being old as fuck perpetuated it after that ofc.
It's still ridiculous that it isn't applied to Trump as often (or more), the dude eats so much Mcdonalds and looks super unhealthy.
