This is such clickbait. Let’s see, on the left, a candidate who is “old” but has done a ton of good studf in the last 4 years (but not all good stuff, obviously). On the right, a guy a couple years younger but obviously suffering a touch of dementia and Russian blackmail, who has promised to be a dictator on day 1, who has made extreme efforts to hold into classified documents, who has fraud cases, racketeering cases and various other cases pending against him, etc etc.

Which to choose, the decision is so harrrrrd!

Biden is a rightist, likely has dementia (trump also likely does but not dealing with him yet) and is too old. Also please name the good things he has done in the 4 years, because he has pretty much just sat their and done bugger all the last 4 years

Biden is running aganst a Rightist who likely has dementia and is too old

So my "choice" is a Too old rightest with dementia or a too old rightist with dementia... what a fucking choice

also dictator is a Fucking loose term if I ever heard one... I can make a case that Biden under the status quo constitutes a dictator, like please use more precice language

Not to pile on you, but whether or not his domestic efforts are sufficient or at least worth holding ones nose, his treatment of Palestine is disqualifying to anyone w half a brain.

But apart from the moral question, which you evidently couldn't be bothered by, if it's such an easy choice, why is he polling so badly? It's simple: he's a bad candidate. He's polling dreadfully in what should be another easy Dem win, he's universally seen as being illequipped for the job (humiliations in Afghanistan (frankly one of few his unambiguous Ws), Ukraine, and now Palestine, with the Court, w Texas, ceding the immigration issue to Republicans, cant string two sentences together)-- why are you wasting energy caping for him? The Dems have enough time to replace him. You'd avoid these pitiable indignities.
