Sure, saruman raped someone and has literally been committing fraud his entire life, but gandalf rides horses.
What's up with that?
Horses have four legs. I only have two.
Horses are weird.

I'm getting really sick of this meme format. I get it, Trump is way worse than Biden, but that doesn't mean we can't acknowledge that they're both insanely old. We'll all try to toss Biden's corpse over the finish line a second time, but stop trying to gaslight us into thinking that electing an 81 year old is normal.
It's possible to criticize Biden and be unhappy about his age without acting like him and trump are equally as bad, which a lot of "centrists" do to justify not voting. Those people are the ones being criticized in this post.
Yep. Trump voters don't give a shit. They'll vote no matter what. The people pushing the idea of not voting out of protest or whatever aren't doing it honestly, at least not the first ones. The first ones are trying to get Trump elected. They might convince some fools to also push the same message without following the agenda.

Yeah, but is anyone actually saying they're equally, "bad," or just that they're both too old for this? I've heard people say that both shouldn't be running but they'll vote for Biden, or that Trump is fine and Biden is senile and criminal and part of the cabal (or whatever they believe these days), but I've never heard anyone say, "both are too old, therefore they're equal and I won't vote for either." That seems like strawman meant to delegitimize criticism of Biden's age.

I'm getting tired of people going on and on about their ages as if it's something nobody noticed before. As if it's going to change the situation.
A lot of Americans like voting for old fuddy duddies. You can't control how other people vote, you can only control how you will vote. Old people vote and young people tend not to. You aren't going change anything in a democratic process by not voting.
86% of Americans think Biden is too old to be President. 62% of Americans think Trump is too old to be President. 59% of Americans think both are too old to be President. Most Americans, by a wide margin, do not like voting for, "old fuddy daddies."
Very few people are saying, "don't vote," but most people are saying, "don't allow these men to run the country." This meme is either targeting a very niche person or creating a strawman for the majority of people by equating, "these men are too old," with, "these men are the same, don't vote."
Old people vote and young people tend not to. You aren't going change anything in a democratic process by not voting.
The presidential election isn't democratic. In fact, it's antidemocratic by design.
With that said, you won't change anything voting between two conservatives either.

Do you honestly think that anything will convince the DNC to forward ANY candidate except the one that already beat cheetolini?
I mean, I'm voting for blue despite my misgivings because I KNOW how dangerous twice impeached seditionists are to our democracy, but I am not doing it with enthusiasm.
The DNC will never allow an actual progressive anywhere near the presidency.

oh is that what this meme is about?
Remember that any criticism of Biden, no matter how legitimate, is definitely pro-trump Russian propaganda. God forbid people don't just want to vote against something.
At the end of the day, this is how it is. The system is absurdly broken. We couldn't possibly be here if it wasn't. The fact that they keep shoving Biden at us doesn't mean that we shouldn't choose him over the much more overt fascist Trump, but it also doesn't mean that we should accept him.
No matter who's elected, everyone should fucking riot.

You're not the target of the meme if you're able to understand that voting for Biden is a necessity.

When did he forget he was called Gandalf?
You mean after he literally died trying to save the one being that could save middle earth?
Sleepy Gandalf
Let's go Ganon!
Wrong franchise
"Gandalf? Yes, that was what they used to call me, Gandalf the Grey. That was my name. I am Gandalf the White, and I come back to you now at the turn of the tide."
MAKE ANGMAR GREAT AGAIN
I mean we had literally 9 kings to provide strong leadership. MAGA!
Omg why is the president 406 years old wtf guys.
If we are running someone that old, can we please run Dumbledore? Fought against evil his entire adult life, took steps to make education available to all witches and wizards equally regardless of if you were pure blood or muggleborn, taught forgiveness and understood that people could change, for better and for worse. Also taught his students well enough to fend off a full-scale attack from a hoard of adult casters, giants, and a fucking lich without needing his intervention.
(yes, I am talking about Bernie... The only old fuck that is still worthy of holding office)

Rudy “Worm-Tongue” Giuliani
"[His voice was] low and melodious, its very sound an enchantment [...] it was a delight to hear the voice speaking, all that it said seemed wise and reasonable, and desire woke in them by swift agreement to seem wise themselves ... for those whom it conquered the spell endured while they were far away and ever they heard that soft voice whispering and urging them."
We would be in trouble if the orange stain was channeling Saruman.
Would that make Putin Sauron?
We would be in more trouble if Saruman used his voice of command to talk like trump
"I know the best spells, Grumpy Gandalf is very very very jealous of my tower, it's a wonderful tower, Orthanc, very exclusive and I hold the only key."

However they aren't our only choices we also have radagast ( RFK ) LOL
Don’t remember Gandalf supporting and funding a genocide.
I'm beginning to believe that a large portion of this society doesn't actually see anything wrong with genocide, they just don't like the word and are content with telling themselves that the victims deserved it.
Isreal and the US government know what they are doing, the killing is deliberate, it is the only viable explanation for things like the treatment of UNRWA and the clear targeting of civilians in Gaza and the West Bank. Claiming that these targets are somehow militants would be laughable if the consequences weren't so saturated with human blood.
It's obvious to me that both parties would make the same choices here, party politics are only to blame here as far as they enabled themselves to be so throughly penetrated by foreign interests. Only real difference with Trumptard VS genocide Joe is that trump would be more transparent with his support for genocide.
