I love completely unaware comments like this. President stable genius wasn't really all that stable nor all that much of a genius. Dude bragged about memorizing 5 words in a TV interview.
If you're willing to mention one as a disqualifying factor, you should really take a long hard look at the other candidate through the same lens.
Also .. to be fair... my capability to walk on a stage has no bearing on my ability to be president. FDR used a wheel chair and had ramps installed in the White House. I find it terrible that we disparage our presidents based on their physical abilities.
I would put more stock in whether they can string together a cogent argument on a debate, or whether they can actually put together a sentence with correct punctuation, spelling, and grammar...
Honestly, I don't know why anyone would want to be president after age 70. It just seems like too much stress, too much work. When I am 70 I want either be working for myself so that I can determine my hours, or just full on retired enjoying some piece and quiet.
Ironically, Biden has been shying away from debates...
So your argument is literally "both sides"... I thought both siding was frowned upon
It's more a "don't throw stones if you live in a glass house" thing, but fair enough.
I don't understand this whataboutism the US has going on. Trump was a megalomaniac and didn't give a shit about the country. Biden is a demented old man and doesn't give a shit about the country.
Democrats and republicans have chosen horrible leaders this past decade. Can't you see it's harming you all? Why are you acting like this is a sports team you'll die following?
I think one thing that some people seem to miss is that liberal voters didn't necessarily vote for Biden, they simply voted against Trump.
You're absolutely right in your assessment. Our system is stacked against us. I wish we had a system that could support multiple parties. But all we have to choose from is one extreme or the other. I'm not exactly pleased with it.
And if you want to see what happens when a politician breaks ranks to get things done, look no farther than McCarthy getting ousted as speaker of the house. I don't like the guy at all but he did the right thing this one time by getting bipartisan support to get a funding bill passed in order to avoid a government shut down. His party crucified him for it. So yeah, we are fucked.
