But why favor having her as part of a team trying to wrangle a demented president over her taking over when there is the Constitutional capacity for her to do so? And before you say electability, first off neither has to run after this term and even as a person who’s not a fan of Kamala Harris, I can look and see her

I at the very least don’t think Kamala would do any worse than Biden. Her net approval, while not good is higher than Biden’s right now.

When have the American people voted against their interests? Dems have won the presidential popular vote in 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2020. They won a majority of the House popular vote in 2018 and 2020. The last time they voted Repub was a majority of the House votes in 2010 and 2014. Only two times nearly a decade ago

She has repeatedly shown no interest in running.

How would you weigh whether anyone can beat Trump? We won’t know it until we see it play out. Even Biden who won as a non incumbent may not win as an unpopular incumbent.

He did not get a free pass. He faced constant questions about his faculties from the media and the general populace then was voted out of office (and he didn’t even win the popular vote in the first place).

Why do people think this? He’s publicly said he’ll run again multiple times now. And I don’t see why people think running for a term from age 78 to 82 is much different than a term from 82 to 86. Everyone was saying before 2018 there was no way Feinstein would run again, then they reelected her when she did. Something

I never will understand comments like that. First of all, we very much should care about a mentally incapacitated person with that much power regardless of other circumstances.

He has said he does unfortunately:

Because liberal Democrats are just as willing to rely on the whataboutism fallacy as Republicans unfortunately.

I would say either announcing their candidacy or registering it in the exact way you just used as the standard in your previous comment.

So then does that mean Republicans aren’t climate deniers because they’ve accepted some of the most basic climate science?:

Again, denying the result of an accredited institution’s study on climate science somehow isn’t denying climate science to you.

Do you have a source on that?

So you now admit that he argued against a climate science study when you continually claimed I was lying. And again, this fits the definition of climate science denier I continually used. But you continue to change what I originally said, yet I’m apparently the one moving the goalposts.

No one can explain why there are strict age minimums (A 34 year old can’t be president!) but age maximums are somehow evil.

Biden is the perfect example. Ran as “a new generation needed in leadership” to get started in Congress. Yet when him being in his 80s in office was brought up now, suddenly his supporters in the primary cried ageism.

Voters had their chance with a progressive Latino Dem in the general election in 2018. Cali Repubs overwhelmingly went for that younger Dem. All Cali Dems had to do was not overwhelmingly back Feinstein yet they did. This is the result.

Trump isn’t an official or candidate right now though. When he was in office there were plenty of headlines about his mental capacity or lack thereof.

He didn’t get a free pass. He got constant pushback and then was one of the few modern presidents to get voted out instead of getting a second term.
