This should be obvious but isn't. Thanks @dahlialithwick.bsky.social for driving it home: Stop talking about Biden's age. Focus on his judgment and the team he chose👉 "experts, genuine scientists, respected economists, and effective governmental actors and advisers." slate.com/news-and-pol...
Oh, I won't go as far as that, they just want a horserace so they can get the easy stories and clicks. And if he happens to win? Eh, they'll be fiiiine.
Journalistic malpractice.
Also, while Biden isn’t always going to be right, he is going to listen to his team, and I expect decisions we don’t like have reasons behind them we don’t see.
Trump does whatever he likes based on who stroked his ego or hurt his feelings while he’s online in the can.
They are not the same.
You're asking a lot of the lazy Jill.
Also...I'm torn between - we are seeing the Editorial thumb on the scale here and/or a ever decreasing number of actual reporters and the increasing media ownership concentration homogenizing coverage.
We don't vote for one person. We vote for an administration (keep in mind; good people attract good people) & any person that thinks they know it all will NOT make a good administration or partner, friend, employer, banker, neighbor, spouse.... you get the point, right?
It's not just Biden's capacity to govern though. The average life expectancy of a 82-year-old white American male is 7.3 years. That's the longevity profile of a Stage 2 lung cancer patient. If this is indeed the Most Important Election Ever, why go all-in with that candidate? Do we remember RBG?
It's really quite simple; A Trump administration would be a dictatorship (see Project2025.org) and a Biden administration would be ethical, Constitutional & attract the same. VP Harris is also the same, if she's needed. Not to ignore the history of ethics in each party:
Their age difference is barely anything too. It’s not like Trump is 25 years younger or something… people just grasping at straws to get the most idiotic dictator back in power.
