I don’t understand how anyone thinks an 81 year old person should be leader of a nation. And will they ever produce good stuff instead of what they’ve been trying and failing to do for so many years and it hurts the people.

When will they help the citizens instead of funding the military and fancy projects that waste money, cutting taxes for billionaires and raising them for the poor, cut social security, cut medicare, cut this, cut that, more money to the military.

So messed up.

I don’t know good places to find accurate news.

    You’re not wrong, but does that invalidate his experience? Most of the people he’s striking deals with are in that same boat. And as president, he surrounds himself with capable people who understand today’s world and help him navigate it. That’s what an intelligent, experienced person does.

      I’m not saying it does.

      Relevancy matters, though. And as far as what everyone else is doing, that’s their business.

      As for him having people help out with things- that’s almost certainly what he’s doing - what makes you think a younger canidate can’t get the same kind of help in dealing with older politicians? (In fact, there’s a small army of people assisting Biden- or any president- with that, too.)

        A younger candidate doesn’t have the decades of experience that Biden does.

        Look, I’m not stumping for Biden here. I’m just answering OP’s question as to why he’s the candidate, and trying to alleviate some of the concerns that people have about his age.
