    The difference is Biden unpopularity is due to uncertainty while trumps is due to EXTREME certainty that he’s a piece of garbage

      Biden unpopularity is due to uncertainty

      Which I don’t understand. I’m certain Biden won’t institute project 2025 so the choice should be obvious.

        Uncertainty my ass. Joe Biden is running on an excellent record. He is running on his policies.

        Disclaimer this is very unlikely.

        I have seen enough people grow older and senile and start acting totally out of character. People who I would have called progressive start supporting Trump because of old man brain.

          Just depends what news channel they watch all day I know old people on both sides blindly taking in whatever fox/MSN/CNN tell them. Fox ones are consistently shittier but I’ve heard a few pretty bad takes coming out of the other ones too.

      There’s nothing uncertain about Biden at this point. It’s a matter of being in denial or anger.

        I think what they’re getting at is that we’re uncertain the extent age will affect his duties. Will his cabinet and other advisors be really “in control,” or will Biden insist on his way forcing others to kowtow. It is certain that the dude is old as hell and if it were he alone, he would be incapable of the job. Since there’s a staff and a ton of advisors, the degree of control they have is, well, uncertain.

          It’s already clear that the extent is large and growing, whether it’s dementia or Parkinson’s doesn’t really matter. He’s effectively a puppet now, and it’s not going to get better. He has minor slip ups in the completely controlled environment they try to keep him in. It’s denial to pretend it won’t get worse, or it’s not actually that bad.

        It’s too bad there’s no plan-b if he does actually get impaired for real during his administra-- oh wait. There is.

        And she’d only be more awesome if she dragged an eligible AOC in as her vice. Asses kicked, names taken.
