Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
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.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). 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.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

What?
They both are.
Climate change is a problem too, I didn't list every issue that's threatening our country
You're right. You didn't list every issue. You just stated what was wrong with one of the two men who are viable candidates and didn't even hint that the other would have the exact same issue. Seems a little bit one-sided.
Or maybe I'm commenting in a place with effectively zero trump supporters so there's context?
Seriously, this isn't reddit. Since exploding heads got defederated, I legitimately can't remember the last time I saw a pro trump comment on Lemmy.
There's a shit ton of warning signs that Biden might not be able to beat trump again. And by his own admission he's not the only one he thinks can beat trump. Like a week ago he said at least 50 others can.
He won't even say he has the best shot, but he has said the only reason he's running is because Trump is
Shit like that doesn't help his chances. But him and his team don't realize that
Getting mad at people for pointing that out is like burning a woman for being a witch because she recognized an illness that will kill someone or that a bad harvest is coming.
Knowing something bad is likely to happen, doesn't mean I want it to. I'm just fucking trying to warn people.
Suggesting you are being one-sided is not getting mad at you, and there are still Trump supporters on Lemmy.
And I still say that I don't see how Biden's age is a problem but Trump's age isn't. Because if those are the only two who have a chance and they are almost the same age, I don't see why age is a factor.
Trump isn't also trying to run the country while he's campaigning.
Great, I don't understand why you'd still be saying that after I clarified both of their ages are a problem...
Biden is the only dem.that has a chance... Because the party leadership unilaterally decided we don't get a primary.
That is the issue,
It's an issue for both of them.
It seems like instead of admitting that, you're thinking it somehow cancels each other out...
Which makes no sense. And I don't see how any more exchanges is going to be remotely productive if that's your line of logic.
If it's an issue for both of them, it's an issue for neither of them. Because they're the only two who have a chance of being elected. Your clarification didn't clarify why it is a factor if it both candidates have the same issue.
