Maybe the US should create a "Geriatric Party", where all these senile diaper wearers are put in a home.
Voting for a guy who has at MOST 5 years to live is not good foresight, regardless of what political party you rally behind.

Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Seeing how much Trump has lost it, Biden might not even need to do that to win.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
He urged voters who are dissatisfied with the work the Biden administration has done to recognize that "we are living in an unprecedented moment in American history."
In the announcement, the president explicitly positioned himself opposite Trump, and some of his other Republican opponents, on key issues like abortion and social security.
Dictating what health care decisions women can make, banning books, and telling people who they can love.
Sanders referenced several of those issues in underscoring what he believes is the importance of building "a strong progressive agenda" to win the presidency in 2024.
Sanders called on Democrats to develop a progressive agenda that prioritizes the needs of seniors and of young people by expanding Medicare and addressing student debt.
"And when we win big, we have to make it clear that we stand with the working class of this country, against the kind of corporate greed that we now see."
The original article contains 702 words, the summary contains 152 words. Saved 78%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Not cool to say he'll lose like that, Bern.
