MODERATORS
 

In a YouGov poll conducted between July 25-29, 59 percent of Republicans surveyed said they would prefer a president under the age of 75. Trump celebrated his 78th birthday in June. Forty percent said they had no preference, and just two percent said they would prefer a president over the age of 75.

They couldn't force him. They convinced him it was the right thing to do.

Yeah like how convince people to resign after doing something terrible. It wasn’t Biden’s idea. You didn’t hear all the stuff he was saying after the debate? Come on

It's almost like he had the self awareness to change his mind when presented with compelling, new information.

It's what mature adults do

If you think the only way any adult can change their mind is if they're forced to, it speaks more of you than them.

The new and compelling information was that they wanted his ass out.

Damn. You Biden’s #1 fan. And think so highly of politicians. It’s business. People don’t want to lose money and power. Biden isn’t immune to this.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes it was. Gold star for you.

I must be his #1 fan because reasons.

Have an ice cream cone or something man. It'll help that attitude.

I knew it. You’re in love with him. You wanna share a cone with him and accidentally (but actually purposefully) go for the last lick together, pause and look into each other’s eyes bashfully, then proceed to make out. So obvious that’s what you wanna do.
