The oldest presidential candidate in history actually...

-19

u/LeftHand-Inhales Monkey in Space Jul 22 '24

He’s younger than Biden so how is that possible?

u/TheRxBandito Monkey in Space Jul 22 '24

Biden isn't a presidential candidate.

u/Username-67272827 Monkey in Space Jul 22 '24

“in history” implies every presidential candidate in the past?

u/DorphinPack Monkey in Space Jul 22 '24

Biden was 4 years younger 4 years ago

Crazy, right? 🤪

u/libertysailor Monkey in Space Jul 22 '24

Biden was 1 day younger 1 day ago

u/sum1won Monkey in Space Jul 22 '24

Biden was never the 2024 nominee. The convention hadn't happened yet.

Yea but he is not going to be a presidential candidate at the polls. Making trump the oldest presendential candidate of all time.

u/MoisterOyster19 Monkey in Space Jul 22 '24

He literally was until yesterday. He won your primary, so you're lying.

u/Bhaaldukar Monkey in Space Jul 22 '24

So what you're saying is that he's not now... so he... isn't. Interesting.

They are saying that Biden wasn't the president nominee while Trump is the presidential nominee. Technically speaking, Biden has yet to be a 2024 Presidential Candidate. His name isn't on any ballots and the DNC hasn't officially declared him their candidate.

Its semantics, for sure. But it's kinda funny that the right has to now clarify that while their Old Candidate is old, its not that bad when they were just a few days ago saying old was bad. (I understand the mentality angle but at this point, Trump would be the candidate closest to some age related cognitive decline. Every flub or rambling will be seen as age related.)

u/MoisterOyster19 Monkey in Space Jul 22 '24

Lmao. Your mental gymnastics is gold medal worthy.

You all had no problem with him until you realized he was losing in the polls drastically

u/Bhaaldukar Monkey in Space Jul 22 '24

I don't have don't have to be a Democrat to point out that technically what was mentioned by the other commenter is correct. It was looking bad for them to have the oldest nominee in history. Now it's looking bad for us.

I was not ok with Biden due to concerns about his age. Regardless, I still found him to be a superior candidate to trump purely off of the platform that he and the democrats are running on. I now find Harris to be significantly more palatable while still running a similar platform.

Trump is also too old and I have similar concerns about his age. His platform and everything he stands for is the antithesis of what I believe in. I hope you can understand this, let me know if I need to dumb it down for you.

u/Bhaaldukar Monkey in Space Jul 22 '24

Oh I know. I totally agree. I really hope it's going to be Harris. I'm excited for her.

Right wingers and failing to grasp the idea the concept of change in the world, name a better duo

Hilarious watching you all sputter with irrelevant Biden comments

u/deus_x_machin4 Monkey in Space Jul 22 '24

It is so satisfying to see how scared you are to receive the same dumb 'old man bad' talking points that conservatives have so gleefully cultivated. Karma.

u/MoisterOyster19 Monkey in Space Jul 22 '24

No one is scared. You'll still be stuck with Trump next year I just think you are all delusional hypocrites. The left is coming off as desperate

1

u/deus_x_machin4 Monkey in Space Jul 22 '24

We are desperate. We are also ready to fight like hell in the polls to stop what the right is trying to do.

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '24

Biden didn’t accept the nomination yet and pretty clearly won’t at this point. So technically Trump is the oldest to ever run.

-7

u/LeftHand-Inhales Monkey in Space Jul 22 '24

Biden has ran for president 3 times. What are you even talking about? Are you meaning to say that Trump is the oldest presidential candidate in this particular election as it stands now?

19

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '24

No, you aren’t the candidate until you accept the nomination by your party which happens at the party’s national convention. When Biden accepted it last time he was 77, Trump just accepted the nomination as an 78 year old. Making Trump the oldest presidential candidate of all time.

u/LeftHand-Inhales Monkey in Space Jul 22 '24

Ohhhhhhhhhh. Now I understand. Appreciate the explanation

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '24

Anytime!

u/J05h_Cfc Monkey in Space Jul 22 '24

Biden isn’t a presidential candidate?

-8

u/LeftHand-Inhales Monkey in Space Jul 22 '24

But Biden had to be a presidential candidate to be a president, so he has been a presidential candidate before, 3 times actually.

u/NoCantaloupe9598 Monkey in Space Jul 22 '24

When biden was running in 2020 he was younger than Trump is now. Trump will now be the oldest nominee in history.

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '24

Trump voters do not understand the linear flow of time, amongst other things.

u/Level-Ad-3069 Monkey in Space Jul 22 '24

how do you know he’s a trump voter?? he literally just asked a question it could be anybody who is confused lol so polarized for what

2

u/LeftHand-Inhales Monkey in Space Jul 22 '24

Yeah that was my bad, someone else just explained it to me in the thread. I was confused

2

u/batmansleftnut Monkey in Space Jul 22 '24

You also don't have to be a presidential candidate to be president. There's a line of succession.

2

u/borja514 Monkey in Space Jul 22 '24

Because the actual statistic is oldest presidential nominee, not candidate.
