    Does flying multiple times to China, Japan, Sweden, Australia, and even Tahiti count? Of course most of my long-distance flying was when I was in my 30's/40's/50's which is kind of the point. Joe is OLD! Too old to be POTUS. I guarantee that having a nice set-up to fly in makes a difference. Business class is not nearly as hard on you as coach.

    Yeah, mostly joking. Though relativity comes into play at elevation as well... we have to calibrate our GPS satellites to account for it.

    That said, 99% joking.

    Joe Biden is the perfect age to be president if that's what it takes to keep Trump out of office.

    Nothing else matters as much at this point in time.

    And I don't like Biden.

    That cannot be the answer. I refuse to accept it. There must be another way.

    I hate it. But not as much as I hated having Trump as president and watching him destroy democracy...

    Correct. It's milliseconds.

    Well we don't know who the candidates are yet. I'm an independent so I don't get a vote in the primaries. I need to see who is in the general first.

    I would like to think any Dem would beat Trump... But that's probably not true. And I can't think of one who'd be much better than Joe who is also much less ancient.

    I've already said I'd rather Joe not run again and he wasn't my first choice in 2020 but I could not abide by Trump...and if it comes down to Biden and Trump again next year I'll vote for Biden again.

    ...I also have not said anything that was mean spirited and flat out hateful...that was you and it was a pretty shitty thing to say.

    Are you offering $50 per vote?...or are you charging people $50 per vote for the privilege of voting for you?...asking for a friend.

    My opinion will probably change but at this point, I'm leaning towards the only candidate who has not only been the first to mention "term limits" but is also very much in favor for them.

    You have my vote if you show you can beat Trump.

    First question: who is that?

    Second question: why would that matter? President has zero ability to create term limits.

    It's like saying you'll vote for the first guy who says every man should get another inch added to their penis.

    That's who I'm voting for. I gained a solid 1.3" after getting the first COVID vaccine and filled out a bit more with each of the boosters.

    Another inch and I'll be able to retire and do porn videos like Ron Jeremy...

    Actually the polls I've seen, I don't want Biden running again (but he will) because I'm not sure he can beat Trump. He's the second coming of Hillary Clinton. It's impossible to overstate how fucked up the world will be, let alone the country, if Trump gets four more years. The damage will be irreversible.

    No idea, I just know there's a healthy slice of America that would love for there to be an option, any option, other than those two. But Trump has the Republican nomination locked up, I'm already calling it. So barring a health problem with either of them, or God-willing both, I think we're all in store for a repeat.
