They can say what they want about Trump voters lying or not answering polls, but Biden's support hasn't had any real dips since they started looking for everything and the kitchen sink to throw at him. If the dementia debate doesn't work for them, I don't know what they have left besides Donny declaring the election is going to be stolen.
I hope during the debate it is revealed people are wrong about Joe and he isn't demented. Then fine, run him. I'd hate to think one of the major party's of the world is so desperate they'd run a babbling Alzheimers sufferer because the strategists in the party thought that he was their best chance of getting in the captains seat, or just didn't want the party to swing Bernie's way. I don't care who he's had sex with, but if it turns out the consensus increases that he's losing it, that would be shameful.

It would be neat if he's been sandbagging it and he pulls a double double wisdom out of his trickbag, and that wise ole Joe shows up. It'd be awful to see the guy that keeps showing up on the disparaging videos of him, tripping over his thoughts, be what he has become. If so, he needs to retire and play with the grandkids.

Well, personally I'd prefer an age limit besides the initial 35. I'd pick 75 as the maximum age to start a term.

Real median income increased a record 6.8% and reached an all time high of $68,700 in 2019.

“Real median income grew by 7.9 percent for black Americans, 7.1 percent for Hispanic Americans, and 10.6 percent for Asian Americans (see Figure 1). These one-year increases were all record highs, and the new income levels reached in 2019 were all record highs, as well.”

“The official poverty rate fell to an all-time record low of 10.5 percent in 2019. Over 4 million people were lifted out of poverty between 2018 and 2019 for a 1.3 percentage point decrease. This was the largest reduction in poverty in over 50 years.”

“The poverty rate fell to an all-time record low for every race and ethnic group in 2019. Notably, the black poverty rate fell below 20 percent for the first time in history.”

“The 1.2 million black Americans lifted out of poverty since 2016 is also the largest reduction on record—spanning over 50 years—for the first 3 years of any President’s administration.”

“Children fared even better than the overall population. Child poverty fell to a near 50-year low in 2019, falling by 1.8 percentage points to 14.4 percent. Since 2016, 2.8 million children have been lifted out of poverty, including over 1 million Hispanic children.”

That sounds reasonable. I've considered the upper limit should be the same as a commercial airline pilot. But I guess at 60 your just a kid nowadays.

In the 1920 Eugene V. Debs ran for president from his federal prison cell and received 3.4% of the vote.

And legally he could have been elected.

So there's still hope for the Trump family.

The other day I was looking at charts for countries with universal healthcare. Nearly all of them have better life expectancy numbers than the US.


Those nations also don’t have the murder rate, obesity rate, vehicular accident deaths, drug overdose deaths, alcohol related deaths, and racial demographics that we do.
