Joe Biden For President (part two)

[bobabode]

Dick Van Dyke weighed in on whom he’ll be supporting in the upcoming election on a recent episode of The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast.

“I’m going to support [Joe] Biden,” the 98-year-old actor, who publicly supported Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential bid four years ago, told THR‘s Scott Feinberg about the November election.

When asked if he felt if it was fair to criticize President Biden for his age, Van Dyke made it clear he wasn’t so concerned about that. “I’ve got all my marbles, and I’m old enough to be his father,” the iconic actor said. “I’m actually old enough in years to be his father. So I’m not worried about it.”

“This is not a Grammy Award contest for best singer,” Sanders said. “Biden is old. He’s not as articulate as he once was. I wish he could jump up the steps on Air Force One, but he can’t. … What we have got to focus on is policy, whose policies have and will benefit the vast majority of the people in this country.”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), another prominent liberal, called the matter “closed,” saying Biden is the nominee.

And Omar who has been sharply critical of Biden’s handling of the Israel-Gaza war, issued one of the strongest statements of support on Monday.

“He’s been the best president of my lifetime and we have his back,” she told reporters. WaPo

I get that you're anti-Biden, but he does not deserve that.

That wasn't a shot at Joe (I think he's done a great job as President) but we need to acknowledge that there are millions of people who won't vote blue no matter who.

For those people to vote for a Democrat, we need someone who appears to be vital and healthy, hence my comment.

Between Adam Schiff and COVID Joe's pretty much done. Unfortunately this realization within the party has come too late -- if they (he, I guess) had figured out that he wasn't a viable candidate any time prior to the debate, they could have replaced him from a position of strength. Now it's just going to be viewed as what it is ... desperation.

This can't be ignored by the DNC.

And yet it was.

Possibly true for those who pay attention to this stuff.

But this is a battle for the votes of that segment that doesn't really care about politics or policy so much as what impression the candidates make.
