Remember that time when Biden thought he was debating against Abraham Lincoln in the televised debates?

Both Biden and Trump are borderline senile fossils that shouldn't be trusted with the Western economy and nearly half of the planet's nuclear weapons stockpile. Either candidate poses a very legitimate argument for maximum age limits to be imposed on future presidential candidates.

This isn't out of any dislike towards the elderly. People's mental facilities tend to decline substantially when they get to that age and that proves detrimental when making economic and political decisions. We saw the same thing with Ronald Reagan in the later years of his tenure.

When it's a two-horse race between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, society loses.

Haha I love how I watched this live and knew conservatives wouldn't have a clue what Biden is saying here.

He's ripping on trump and it totally flew over your heads.
Conservatives really don't have the ability to understand sarcasm unless it matches their confirmation biases.

I've been waiting years for this to manifest. Thank you for being the idiot who fell on the grenade.

I just watched it ... it's mind boggling that could be interpreted as anything but a dig.

From Joe Biden, the man who said he was going to beat Joe Biden?

I mean, it could definitely be a joke, but I wouldn’t put it past him to do that. He’s definitely senile, the wrong thing about the “speech” in the article is that Trump is in no position to say that when he’s even worse.

I absolutely think biden's too old, but in this specific clip it kind of seems like he is making fun of Trump's "I am the least racist person ever" response.

I'm 100% confident that at the time that's how this was interpreted. After the guy talked about how he was the least racist person in the room (lol), calling him Abraham Lincoln doesn't seem like much of a stretch.

By mid 19th Century standards (the Civil Rights movement wouldn't come until roughly a century later), wasn't Lincoln progressive? Not only for leading the US through a civil war brewed partially over slavery, but also abolishing it?

and then we have senators that gave away power of attorney but still have power over the US.

Age limits are necessary. Term limits would at least patch the problem.

You cannot be this stupid.

I genuinely refuse to accept that you honestly believe what you say here
