No. Just no, dude. 64% of Democrats thought he was too old to run, and the party didn't even hold a primary. Then he walks out for his first debate and gives an incoherent performance that completely validates everyone's fears about his age, and you want to play it off with a, "bUt HeR eMaiLs!" meme? Screw that. We shouldn't be trying to convince people they didn't see what they saw, we should be figuring out how to get him off the fucking ticket.
Gaslighting the public in to maintaining the status quo for the rich and powerful..
E: and before the die hard liberals descend on me and accuse me of being a trump supporter because they can only see the world in blue or red - the alternative being worse doesn't make your guy any good (nor did I mention the word "vote" - or don't - once), it only proves that the system is rigged to never serve you. Now if only you were willing to confront this admittedly uncomfortable fact and move on from the fairy tale you've been sold, we might actually get some progress instead of treading water by "reducing harm" (all the while harm is not actually being reduced, we're just being held hostage in exchange for it theoretically not getting worse)
It's been obvious for a long time and the lies just kept going. Now, instead of eating shit, they're changing the narrative. If you see through it, though, welcome to Moscow, comrade!
