Another Red Wave fails to make appearance

[Walt]

Disagreed since the odds of an average, healthy 55-year-old dying in office are less than an 86-year-old simply based upon actuarial tables.

We agree that the next term with an older president will have a greater chance of dying than a younger president would have. I just doubt that it is "probable", but it is "very possible." We have a 99 year old former President, and I do not see any reason why we cannot have an 86 year old former President in 2029.

That said, all the RWers whining about Biden's age are quick to dismiss the obese current 77-year-old they are hoping to elect into office next year.

Biden has 7.25 more years (on average) left, and only needs 5 of them. In other words, he has a greater than even chance of making it... And that is just assuming he gets average healthcare, which we all know he will get better than average healthcare.

He eats well and exercises, all increasing his chances of a long life.

It's not just a matter of numbers, but a factor of functionality. Let's consider Trump's "executive time" as one instance of dysfunctionality due to age, illness or drug-use (Adderall).

Remember Hillary's question about "Who do you want to take that 3AM phone call"? It's a valid question. The fact I didn't want it to be Hillary had nothing to do with the fact she was better able than Trump to functually handle that phone call.

IMO, Biden is fast approaching, if not already there, dysfunction on a day-to-day basis as President of the United States. The only thing in his favor is that Trump is worse. I refuse to vote for either because I have stopped voting for the lesser of two choices as a matter of conscience.

Sure, he might be able to live to 100. That has nothing to do with whether he, or any other 70+ year old can function as President every day for four years.

Do you really want a 75 year old to be your airline captain flying into a winter storm? Why not? He/She is healthy, exercises and can live to be 100!

Yes, I feel Joe Biden can still do the job and I’d rather have a skilled 75 year old bush pilot than a young whippersnapper flying me through a winter storm. Experience matters at times.

 

[Geeko Sportivo]

Who said anything about a red wave? 99% of the elections were local.

The stranglehold that the Repulsive-cons has had over the Democrats have always been mostly in the State and Local elections. That is the most heavily GERRYMANDERED districts across America. Also know as the Re-PUBIC-clan SAFE DISTRICTS!

WELL NOT ANYMORE! The Repulsive-CONS are losing their grip over these districts!

It has been this way since the REPUBLI-TARDED COWARDS corrupted the now WHITE SUPREMACIST COURT, and they thoughtlessly and recklessly overturned ROE VS. WADE and SHIT ALL OVER women's rights to choose!

SO THERE ARE NO SAFE DISTRICTS ANYMORE FOR THE REPUBLITARDS!

Because 80% of VOTING Americans now support a women's right to choose- INCLUDING MANY REPUBLITARDS!

SO you Republitards fucked yourselves once again!

SO SORRY! Couldn't have happened to any nicer people!

What about a seasoned 40something over the 75 year old in shitty weather? There's a middle ground, Phan, and, IMO, both Biden and Trump are too old.

As Nikki said, time for a younger generation to take over. Are you saying you'd vote for Biden over Dean Phillips in a primary?

I see you are having a very bad day

I obviously triggered you.

I think I am sorry.

Watch out for frogs.

They eat little lizards.

Ageist
Biden is proven, who is Dean Philips and what does he know of foreign affairs or anything for that matter? He has no experience.

Yes, I’d pick an experienced 75 year old bush pilot over a 40 year old, again, experience.

 

[Walt]

Biden listens to experts when they give him health advice. He does not seek out doctor feel goods.

I admit younger people are more likely to live more years, and are able to work harder. But there is a reason we have a lower limit to President's age, with no upper limit. Older people have more experience, and are often better at putting together a team. It is not just a question of who answers the phone at 3:00am, but also the people he or she calls when he or she gets that phone call.

Biden has been good at putting together teams, even outside the USA. Can you imagine any other President being able to get nuclear submarines for Australia? Netanyahu refused phone calls from trump even in the best of times. Netanyahu is that way, and a lot of leaders try to avoid talking to trump. Even when refusing phone calls from all other world leaders, Netanyahu took phone calls from Biden, because they have been close for over 40 years. They have a huge amount of history.

 

[Walt]

lol @ all the made up bullshit.

Yes, there are never phone calls to world leaders at 3:00am

Anyway, what about the phone call at 9:30am. trump could not come off the golf course at 9:30am to try to get international support to help American soldiers at Tongo Tongo.

Election 2023, Democrats romp, Youngkin flops: 4 takeaways from Tuesday’s election

Joe Biden’s party has had a very strong year at the ballot box. Whether it extends to the president in 2024 is another matter.

What is truly incredible, democrats did really good Tues. and I'm still waiting on the VOTER FRAUD, RIGGED ELECTION cries from the right to ensue. But instead, crickets. Silence and concession speeches. Mature GOP losing adults moving on with thier lives. WHY CAN'T THAT LYING CORRUPT PILE OF DOG SHIT TRUMP TAKE NOTES???

I am having a wonderful day!

And frogs are my 3rd cousins, but, I am ashamed to say- THEY PEE ON PEOPLE WHEN THEY PICK THEM UP AND THEY CROAK A LOT!

Other than that, they are pretty good creatures.

I think we're giving Biden too much credit.....none of these candidates sought his endorsement, his help nothing. Beshear of Ky. the second most popular governor in the nation, lucked up in my opinion. Them squirrel eating rednecks had no intentions of putting that coon uncle tom in their lily white governor's mansion with his pregnant white mop and kids....and they proved it by unseating what little Dem's were left and painted the entire governing legislation big bright bold GOP red!!

More of a realist.

Minnesota Representative. About as much as Obama did and had.

I've buried a few old people who shouldn't have been flying. OTOH, one of them may have been suicide. Not a bad way to go; doing something you love, smacking into a rock at a high rate of speed. Death, cremation and burial all in one.

lol @ more made up nonsense.

russiagate anyone?

meanwhile..... biden sells the nation out to china for a few dumb bucks.

 

[Walt]

There was definite Russian interference in the election, and there definitely will be Russian interference in future elections.

As for the Tongo Tongo Ambush, that also definitely happened. Only Republicans have to deny all history, because some of it disagrees with them.
