    The matter that anyone would think otherwise is a bit surprising. Seems to me that a lot of people are believing what they’re reading on social media, or allowing social media to influence their assumptions, before they take a moment to step outside their echo chamber and consider what reality may look like.

    This headline alone is fueled by social media. Of course, Biden is old AF. But if anyone has actually watched him, within context - not in short edited vides to promote an agenda or generate click revenue, it’s apparent the dude is in fantastic shape for his age (better than me at nearly half his age). It’s also apparent if you give a crap about actual policy and our government, that he’s been one of the most successful, though certainly not without flaws, presidents in modern times. I don’t want to defend the guy - I’ve never been a fan - but reality is reality. Frankly, I would not be surprised if he doesn’t make it, alive, to the election. Moreover, if you’re unsure who you want to vote for this coming election, you sincerely are not thinking straight at all. Frustratingly, there is no choice. A mentally and physically deficient Biden is still inarguably better than a fit and acute Trump. I would encourage people to simply reject all election politics until November.
