So what many of those who post here think will influence the rank and file down the line. If politically engaged Democratic activists think Biden is not too old, something I wholeheartedly agree with, then that will filter down and affect opinion in the party.

This needs to stop. NOW. We have serious other work to do and, as as far as I can tell, our president is doing it.

The question being asked is whether DU believes the corporate hype or not. DU doesn't.

Immaterial. He can do the job and he & Harris are all that stand between us and a Fascist take-over.

Is his hair too red or blond to be President? Is he too tall or too short? Irrelevant.

I really hate this ageism stuff when it comes to Biden. The question should be can he handle the job?

I feel like here I can be honest and say yes Biden is too old. He is very uninspiring when he speaks

Would there be all of the hysteria about Biden's age if Kamala Harris was a white man?

Biden is old, but the alternative is a guy who wants to declare himself dictator for life.
