It was clear to everyone he had difficulty walking. I think he felt some kind of intense personal responsibility to make sure Trump stayed out of office. But, that didn't go well.
In a democracy, especially in as aggressively uneducated a society like ours, appearances are more important than substance.I don’t know what one’s ability to walk has to do with their ability to be an effective executive or leader
Can someone explain the correlation to me?
We have a current POTUS that walks just fine, but strikes me as struggling more cognitively than our prior POTUS
right, FDR was in a wheelchair for example pretty much permanently.I don’t know what one’s ability to walk has to do with their ability to be an effective executive or leader

I think it was more about appearance than anything else. Republicans were already honing in on Biden's frail appearance, a wheelchair would have made the issue even bigger than it was.I don’t know what one’s ability to walk has to do with their ability to be an effective executive or leader

He certainly was no longer capable of running a strenuous national campaign and holding down that job. , but the wheelchair itself should not even enter this discussion. It's not evidence of anything other than an inability to walk long distances,or stand for long periods of time. Neither of those attributes are important for being effective in this job or running for elective office.
The party is not supposed to need any candidates 'permission' to have a 'real primary' The problem is that your premise depends on one politician's decision-making, rather than the party doing the deciding. It was never supposed to be Biden's final call to make. Biden is not the first or the second or the third stubborn incumbent President who lost its party the office, in our nation's history. He sure as hell won't be the last.
As does the Texas Governor.
If you listened to his speeches. He kept on saying he was please to in ____(a state), when he really was in another state completely. No one bothered to correct him. It's obvious the Democrats are spineless and that's one of the reasons they lost.
Yuck.
Promises made, Promises kept.
Only a punk kid would say something like that.
Before the election I thought Biden should have embraced his age and acted the wise old man. A fancy walking stick would have been awesome. He could have waved it menacingly at Trump during the debate. That would have been great.
When you dont really like living in reality....I don’t know what one’s ability to walk has to do with their ability to be an effective executive or leader

I think that would have been fine because I don't think physical limitations in an older president matter nearly as much as his mental feebleness did.
