      Donald “Corrupt liar and professional conman” Trump is better somehow?

      You have your priorities straight.

        Fun fact: even as one is much worse, they’re BOTH awful.

        Even when the alternative is stage four leukemia, it’s not reasonable to demand that people pretend that it’s good to get malaria.

            Still missing the point:

            Of course you’ll have to choose malaria Biden over stage four leukemia Trump. That’s obvious. And also besides the point I’m making.

            My point is that, no matter how bad the alternative is, malaria fucking SUCKS and nobody should ever be forced to pretend otherwise.

            It’s opinion policing, it’s authoritarianism, and it’s standing in the way of progressing to a point where there’s actually a GOOD choice instead of a bad one and a much worse one every Presidential election.

              I personally dont attach nearly as much importance to the actual person filling the presidential seat, so much as the organization that backs and supports them. We all know trump literally will say anything to gain republican support and Biden is the spokesman for the democrats to gain support.

              The point is that trump and Biden could both pass tonight, and the people who replace them will have the exact same goals and ideas. Its not just about the person who wins president as it is about the group we want to run the country.

              So no, its not malaria and stage 4 cancer, its a mosquito bite vs a bee sting, for all the difference it makes between the two. We are voting for republicans or democrats, not Biden or trump.

              Do people really think the president sits there dictating what everyone else is doing like some extravagant conductor?

              They are fucking salespeople, client relations managers, public relations people. Trump didn’t bring a single original idea to his own campaign and people are frustrated with Biden because he won’t take a principled stance and instead just parrots back how his party feels (see Israel).

      Ok.

      Is there another criticism now, or is the one that constantly gets repeated going to continue getting repeated?

        Are you really trying to act like Biden’s age isn’t a huge issue? Did you not see the same old man that the rest of us saw?

          Well, Biden doesnt stand alone, he didnt come up with all these ideas himself, he’s just leading the party. Its not really that important who leads it, the ideas aren’t going to change.

          If its more likely their party wins with another candidate then fine but it seems just as risky as not changing to me.

          It’s an issue for both candidates, so it’s moot, and therefore not worth wasting time over. Move on.

            That makes no sense. Why can’t we have a younger candidate? Then it would be a huge advantage for us.

              We can later. But right now, it’s not happening. Primaries are done. We’re stuck with these fucking geezers.

      Actually with how much trump was falling asleep in court. It could also be Donald “I’m gonna go take a nap” Trump.

        Its an quote from when he said exactly the above, then abruptly walked off stage mid-presser in S. Korea. Like he was in the middle of a press conference and mic dropped to go microwave some sleepytime tea.
