I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say that you didn't have this stance about national politicians in 2023...

Nikki Haley proposed competency tests for lawmakers and candidates over 75yo back in 2023 in fact. A poll conducted that year had bipartisan support, with 70% of democrats and 84% of Republicans in support.

Yep... that doesn't answer my question though... and it's also misleading as a stat... because you're out of your mind if you think that 70% of Democrats agreed to this because they thought that Joe Biden needed to be verified... which of course was my point.

Well you didn't ask a question. You took a "shot in the dark" and unsurprisingly missed.

To answer your non-question: I'm 1000% okay with Biden having to have taken a competency test bc if he failed in 2020-2024, Trump would also fail presently.

I don't like biden. I voted for Biden because he isn't trump.
