So you're saying Trump is any better? Because those are about 90% our choices right now.
I'm not saying anything about Trump at all. I'm just pointing out the elephant in the room. The fact that Trump and Biden are your only choices should make you question how you ended up in that situation though.
Yeah, but it's practically pointless to bring it up IMHO, because if we're comparing elephants, the "elephant" of Biden's age (and I'm very much not convinced it's not 90% media clickbait having seen his's recent ProPublica interview) is much less terrifying than the entire freaking herd of elephants in the room whenever Trump enters.
Dementia, insurrection charges, sexual assault convictions, fraud trial, treasonous behavior, dictatorial aspirations—the dude is a walking nightmare for this country.
Biden maybe has mild issues with mental fog in the evenings and a vibrant and intelligent VP to back him up if the worst comes to pass. Trump, OTOH, is some kleptocracy shill who publicly talks about wanting to dismantle our democracy and never leave power again and hasn't even named a VP candidate yet (but you can bet they'll be an utterly spineless lickspittle after Pence shocked him by growing a pair right at the end). If he gets in office, we're pretty much screwed, period.
EDIT: Mind you, obviously I'd much rather be voting for someone like Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren or AOC, but since Hilary got unfairly bumped for the presidency, we got the Orange Terror instead, who proceeded to destabilize the country as much as possible during his term and here we are…
