I'm not really worried about Biden's age, only about his ability to win.
I am voting AGAINST Trump and his administration. Trump is not fit for office for a number of reasons.
Biden returned us to a level of normalcy in the executive branch; he's performed his duties better than I actually expected, despite the GOP controlling the house and doing almost nothing legislatively for the 2nd half of his term. If Biden kicks the bucket after getting elected, that is fine; his administration will be in place, the VP will take over to serve out the remainder of his term, and in four years we will have a chance at someone else. Biden will have served his country well in that.
Fact of the matter is, Biden isn't going to step down, stop buggering out about his age. Six months ago to a year ago, his mental fitness was fine. Now he is finally starting to show his age in that regard, but he still cares about this country, and holds American democracy as a truth in his heart. If I hear one more old person in their 70's (Schumer) and 80's (Pelosi) call for Biden to step down, I will expect for people to also call for those old farts to step down, before they get Feinsteined.
For anyone that is voting against Trump, it is simple: If Biden doesn't step down, vote for Biden. If Biden steps down, you vote for whoever steps up in his place.
If someone is actually fine with Trump winning, then this message isn't for you.
Perfectly written!
