I really don’t want Trump to be president again, but I’m also not thrilled with him being forced off the ballot. I will defer to the Supreme Court if they make that unlikely decision, but in general i think Americans should be allowed to elect Danish 13 year olds if they want

Yes. In reality, Biden's age doesn't actually matter, because if he dies in office the VP takes over. "I'm worried about Biden's mental capacity" is code for "I don't want Kamala Harris to be President."

A rational person would understand that if Biden and Trump are the same on abortion, as terrible as that would be, Biden’s still better on pretty much everything else. You’re not in any meaningful sense a “progressive” if you’re drawing red lines in this manner.

I wonder if there’s a red line liberals would understand with Biden. Like hypothetically if he came out in support of a national abortion ban, would they understand someone saying they’re sitting out the election then? Or would it be “well Trump’s enforcement would be worse, so”
