Because they operate in bad faith and cannot be trusted.
This is true, but I think it’s even more simple than this.
They want a specific guy to win.
While we want specific policies to win.
If I wanted specific policies to win there’s nobody available to vote for. Unless you think “the one viable option that isn’t theocratic fascism or a reich” is a policy, since that’s what I’m voting for this year.
For clarity, are you suggesting that everyone who had qualms with Biden’s age was operating in bad faith?
Everyone who had qualms about Biden’s age and yet not trump’s is operating in bad faith.
I can’t speak for everyone, but why exactly would I care about Trump’s age? It’s certainly a liability for him, but I was never going to vote Republican anyway, whereas my likelihood of voting Democrat has only risen now that Joe has stepped down. Why on earth would I want to potentially inspire Republicans to start pushing for a more competent candidate who might have a better chance of being elected, while also beingore competent and able to do more harm if they were to win?
For media outlets reporting on this, sure, but I think you’re being overly general when talking about individual voters expressing reservations about the candidate being pushed by the party they will, in all likelihood, wind up voting for.
As far as I can tell, outside opinion columnists this position is entirely hypothetical.
Jesus fucking christ Lemmy has jumped the shark.
We criticized Biden because we wanted a shot at winning and he didn’t have one.
Trump as an opponent is the best shot Democrats have for winning. He’s deeply unpopular.
It’s shocking ho idiotic takes like this are.
They’re obviously talking about republicunts talking about Biden’s age. No one’s talking about you.
You’d understand it too once you stop being a perpetual victim.
To imply that everyone criticizing Biden’s age and mental competency was arguing in bad faith is complete bs. Anyone who has seen or heard him speak can rationally argue this man should not be president and will lose against trump. Anyone paying attention could reasonable say there are dozens of better candidates as the democratic nominee. I’m glad people spoke up otherwise this election looks far worse. This headline and the comment I replied to and deleted (the comment you are quoting here) is donor-class pissing
Wait, the people who criticized Joe Biden or the people who are claiming nobody has criticized Trump for his age?
Seems like this whole thread is just rage-bait.
