Swalwell on Biden age: ‘I’ll take the guy who’s 81 over the guy who has 91 felony counts’

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) went after former President Trump for his legal woes in an interview on MSNBC Saturday.

“I’ll take the individual who’s 81 over the guy who has 91 felony counts,” Swalwell said, making a reference to President Biden’s age in an interview on MSNBC’s “The Katie Phang Show” on Saturday.

“It’s not about two individuals,” Swalwell continued, speaking about the 2024 election. “It’s about the idea of competence versus chaos, or even greater, freedom versus fascism. If we make it about those ideas, and what they mean in our daily lives, we’re gonna win.”

Swalwell’s comments come after Trump was ordered to pay almost $355 million in penalties in a civil fraud case and amid increased scrutiny faced by the president on his age and memory in the wake of a special counsel report on Biden’s handling of classified documents. The report noted that Biden had problems with memory and recall.

Damn, those are your choices? You okay america?

It's worse than you think. Point out how we don't actually have two choices and the party front liners come out and say a vote not for their party is in reality a vote for the other party. Then they say, "[blah, blah, blah] vote like us or the world will literally end." I'm not sure if they are serious anymore.

Already polling at >20% wanting to vote for neither party. Going to get much worse here pretty soon.

If only you had at least two-round system.

OTOH in some countries choice was poisoned with chemical weapon twice and then killed in prison.

Damn, that's your standard? Russia?

Typical "Our system is perfect because it's not the worst" thinking, the kind that leads you slowly to the end of democracy

I know. It's called говнохранительство(shitkeeping). Our system between first and third worst systems in Europe. Just saying that here there even less choice.
