If senility was a dealbreaker, Trump would not have won. The things that come out of his mouth are literally insane.
And I don’t know what the center of the country looks like, either. If the center favored careful, conservative policies, Trump would not have won.
Politics no longer make sense to me. I say Democrats should just run the candidate with the most charisma and fuck everything else.
- orionsbelt 1y agoCompared to past standards, Trump and Biden were arguably both too old to run in 2020 and had obvious signs of age-related cognitive decline. But they were regular old, not senile. Biden clearly got much worse throughout his presidency, declining to a level that was obviously too far, even for the left. Trump is not there yet, although I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets there during his presidency. “Politics no longer make sense to me. I say Democrats should just run the candidate with the most charisma and fuck everything else.” Personally, I think they should focus on running candidates that have the best chance of winning. Politics is a competition!
- tastyface 1y agoTrump is *far* less coherent than Biden ever was. This has pretty much always been the case. However, he is energetic and confident when he spews his word salad speeches, which I guess the polity reacts positively to.
