   When people say they don’t want Biden to run again, the biggest reason is that he’s too old. When they say they don’t want Trump to run again, the biggest reason is that he is a criminal who will destroy our democracy. Do people honestly think there is any equivalence here?

     I really don't want anyone in Office who has not undergone some kind of psychological assessment from a team of specialists before they can even entertain the idea of running for ANY form of public office. I don't care if it's for the Presidency or for the Mayor of Lizard Sack, AZ. There need to be strict evaluations for the mental condition of everybody who runs for any kind of office. And I believe you should not be permitted to run for President without having a political background following such an assessment.

     @georgetakei I have to undergo a mental assessment...a STRICT psychological test every three years to maintain any semblance of a living condition. Politicians are not held to that standard. I'm not running a fucking country. I'm trying to survive below the poverty level. So...if it is important enough to test me and people with my condition every three years to make sure we aren't fucking the system, I would like to see politicians held to that same standard.

     @georgetakei Biden surrounds himself with capable people. He wouldn't let his ego prevent him from handing over running the government to them if his health failed. I have zero doubt that VP Harris would be an effective, well-prepared president from day 1.
