I'm getting really sick of this meme format. I get it, Trump is way worse than Biden, but that doesn't mean we can't acknowledge that they're both insanely old. We'll all try to toss Biden's corpse over the finish line a second time, but stop trying to gaslight us into thinking that electing an 81 year old is normal.

I'm getting tired of people going on and on about their ages as if it's something nobody noticed before. As if it's going to change the situation.

A lot of Americans like voting for old fuddy duddies. You can't control how other people vote, you can only control how you will vote. Old people vote and young people tend not to. You aren't going change anything in a democratic process by not voting.

What's the deal with this certainty that this is the result of people's will? I'm more inclined to beleive it is a systemic result of 'winner takes all' logic and the penetration of political and media institutions by bad actors.
