Biden is too old. But he has surrounded himself with competent people and has had a conventional first term. Trump is authoritarian but inept. He has surrounded himself with people he hopes will make him more effective at authoritarianism. Neither is ideal. But these are not similar problems.

That’s the thing. Biden is President right now. Before and after the debate. And he’s running an extremely competent WH.

Trump is the choice of all of the worst people- the racists, the scammers, the criminals, the liars, the religious cultists, the selfish, the ignorant, and the assholes.

Dems need a new candidate ASAP. While I don’t agree on everything, Biden’s done a great job. He just doesn’t have the mental acuity to vie for another term.

Jesus mate, how much copium does USA need? Sure Trump is a worse choice than the fossil of a president that is doing the job now...but holy shit. Is that the bar you gonna set? Then the democratic system is a total failure to begin with.

It's not too late for Democrats to pick another candidate for the elections. I'm also not that happy with some of the people in the current administration, like Jake Sullivan. Sullivan has been running the US defense into the ground, hindering Ukraine defense and letting other conflicts fester.

If Biden is too old, then so is Trump. That playing field is absolutely even, but ppl are harping only on Biden for it. If you’re going to hit one for age, you have to hit both or else you’re just a part of the age perception problem. Trump *is also too old*, AND an authoritarian AND inept.

I like living in a world where I can complain about Biden's failings rather than one where I need to be wistful about what could have been had it been Biden who won in 2024.

Trump is also too old. And a rapist. And a felon. And a fraud. And a fascist. And a pathological liar. And a danger to democracy.

This isn’t Weimar - we just need to get Hindenburg elected, because in our system the one who loses in Nov doesn’t become chancellor. It’s a horrible situation but alternative is literally “the end.”

As Reagan and Elizabeth Warren said, personnel is policy. Biden needs to be hyping his whole team. At the same time, democrats should be talking about Trump’s team—the collection of freaks and geeks coming up with and who would be implementing Project 2025.

Yes, Joe doesn’t actually play in games, he’s just the manager, and sometimes you don’t even need managers. (But definitely will be no good with bad manager.)
