Because that doesn't help Trump get elected.

The people who helped Trump are the ones who made sure the candidate was an unpopular geriatric, not the people who pointed out that was a bad idea.

Being an unpopular geriatric doesn't seem to be hurting Trump with his voters. You're doing the very thing I called out in my comment.

Yeah, the difference is the GOP held a primary, and his voters chose a geriatric. The DNC didn't hold a primary, and ignored polling that showed their voters didn't want a geriatric. And since you've already admitted you haven't seen the debate, I don't actually care about what you've, "called out," in your comment, since you literally don't know what everyone else here is talking about.

I've heard Trump speak. I've seen the shit he posts. I didn't need to see yet another example of him acting like a cracked-out dementia patient to know that's what he is. I have yet to hear a single criticism of Biden that doesn't fit Trump to a T.

You're welcome to bury your head in the sand if you want, but then you don't get to talk down to the people who aren't choosing willful ignorance. Either watch the debate to find out why people are questioning Biden's fitness or stop talking.

Biden could be a literal corpse and I still wouldn't understand why anyone thinks Trump is better.

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

No one here is saying that, they're saying that Biden did much worse than Trump in the debate, which is once again making people concerned about his age. And again, you'd understand where they were coming from if you'd actually seen the debate.
