    I personally just said last week that I believed only Biden was capable of beating Trump, so I’m feeling pretty sick right now. God, I hope I’m wrong.

    We haaaaaavvvvvve to see this example and set a damn age limit for people to hold such high positions in our country. Old dude may have very well just sent us down an irreversible and utterly destructive path by seeking the office in the first place.

    I know Bernie Sanders is old too, but damn I wish he had won the nomination. We wouldn’t be in this crisis right now. Still though, it’s a gamble electing people who are already waist deep in their grave.

    Man

    What a strange and historic month this has been. We’re all living in a very big moment in history right now, just, all the way around.

      I agree. Age limit for senators, state representatives, presidents and supreme court members.

      I remember talking, to my liberal, Hispanic friend prior to the 2016 election. It was just before the primary and she was complaining that she didn’t really like Hilary, but she was straight up afraid of Trump. I said “what about Bernie” and she said, “Isn’t he too old?” I lost touch with her after that, and I have no idea how she ended up voting.
