I think a lot of voters of every age vote against their own interests.
I mean honestly it’s hard to imagine that a Trump presidency would be good for anyone who is not either part of the Trump family or already very wealthy.

Perfect! Don’t vote for the dems for several elections. I’m certain this plan will usher in a new era of progressive politics. Well done. You idiot.
But people recognise his name as being the guy who is too old.
It’s irrelevant that he’s the incumbent. He can just not run.
Not necessarily.
Perhaps 20 years ago Biden WorldCom acquitted himself better.
That said Trumps performance is a well established debate strategy called a gish gallop - just say dozens of lies and your opponent won’t be able to rebut them all. If they try, they won’t have time for their own points.
I don’t really understand how it could be too late.
Float a candidate under 60 and they win riotous support from Democrats and undecideds.
Biden is the only Democrat that Trump has a chance of beating.
Perhaps there has never been changes this late in the cycle, but come on… we’re breaking new ground in so many ways.
I don’t really follow. Didn’t Obama ask RBG if she wanted to retire so he could put up a left leaning judge? That’s not disrespectful nor respectful, it’s just sensible.
She refused, predictably precipitating the current shit show out of hubris.
She may be a great woman deserving of respect but she fucked up, bringing harm to an entire generation of women.
Meh. Planning be damned. Just float someone under 60 and they’ll crush it.
Me too. I think you could change to more or less anyone and get a bump.
It really seems as though the populace is extraordinarily weary of these two tired old assholes.
Anyone under 60 would mop the floor with Trump’s toupee.
pay more mind to content than affiliations
That’s not really possible when commenters with certain affiliations are known to be manipulative and participate in bad faith.
sorry I meant banning not banking
Gish gallop.
who else in the party can take his role?
How is it possible that there’s no one better than Biden? He’s just so unelectable.
I mean, ok he’s done some great things as pres… but he’s too fucking old. JFC. Someone in their 50s
Great points.
I think the option of nuclear needs to be on the table, and in some (or many) circumstances it might be the best fit.
Presently in Australia one of our two major parties is campaigning on a “pivot to nuclear” platform, but we’re kind the polar opposite to the netherlands (both figuratively and literally?). The vast majority of Australia is sunny desert, girt by sea, with a tiny population in on the coast. My state is something like 2,000km by 1,250km, with about 2 million people. Nuclear just doesn’t seem like a good fit right now.
My concern is that with this pivot to nuclear we basically just keep burning coal for the next 20 years while we’re building nuclear plants.
It might be a great idea to build several reactors, while we furiously build out wind and solar.
There are some gargantuan solar hydrogen cracking projects not far from here in the planning phase which just sound amazing to me.
They would’ve assassinated him already.
Yes I think this has broken him. Quiet life in the burbs with the occasional phone interview on someone’s podcast.
I just can’t understand how someone could think that banking books is a good idea.
edit: sorry banning not banking
I find it a bit annoying that different usb-c implementations have different capabilities.
As in, not all cables are compatible with all devices, and there’s not even a standardised way or reporting capabilities.
What’s the point of being able to put every plug in every socket if you don’t know if it’s going to work?
No and none.
He just walked out of a US district court. If they were going to grab him they would have.
He rolled the dice on being the world’s most well known “journalist” and he lost in the most spectacular way. He’s so incredibly lucky he got off as lightly as he did, having only lost 12 years of his life.
what do you mean? It just did play out. That’s the end.
Feels like the whole world is on the same trajectory.
Perhaps, but I think there’s a lot of people overstating the impact Biden’s performance will have on the end result.
November is a long way off. There’s plenty of time for either party to fuck things up.
Trump’s legal stuff still has a way to run between now and November which I think will have a far bigger impact.
