It's not Joe. It's the fact that he's old, and Trump is old, stupid and a criminal felon. And we have no other choice? Out of the several hundreds of millions of Americans we get these two and that's it? How come no one else wants the job?
I will choose Biden 1000000000 times over Trumpfus. With Biden, China is what it is, an economical frienemy. With Trump they are our best friends and so on and so forth if they just give Trump tickets to the Padres game or something. No question, Biden. But if a piece of cheese 🧀🍕 was running and it could talk, I would vote cheese all the way!
Not trying to diminish your worry, but we all need to step back and look at the entire 3 tier system. No single part of it controls policy and law. The repugs understood that very well as they have loaded all 3 sections with their sympathizers. Just focusing on a single sector is doing yourselves a gross disservice.
Expecting that the cheese can talk is lofty. I would probably be fine with mute cheese or even vegan cheese.
But in this hypothetical, the cheese was already running, and we all know you gotta walk before you run, and if you can walk, then you can walk the walk and you can talk the talk.

I think Biden just couldn't believe the bullshit he was hearing. And not having a crowd to feed off of is an odd environment for a public speaker. Pretty easy for a narcissistic asshole that loves the sound of his own voice.
Don’t like em? There were other options. Pay attention during primaries. There isn’t just one thing to vote for every 4 years. Neither one of these remaining two arrived at the podium just all based on their own assumptions.
There was Mr. dog shit, a bloody tooth, that Kennedy guy who, if Biden was horse after the debate like the news is saying ( I didn't watch it), the Kennedy guy must have eaten hoofs or something. He could barely make word noises from the bits I heard on NPR. And probably that girl who sees Alaska from her house (situated in Alaska). I'm just being sarcastic. Yeah all very weak candidates. Specially on the democratic side, no one really to pick from. I know plenty of people who would do better. Republican or Democrat. I got both. I even got a republican Joe who loves to talk about migrants. I'd vote that guy in before Biden or Trump because I know this Joe personally and he's not 80 and has full speech capacity. Anyway, we should also remember that we don't actually pick the candidates or vote for president. The candidates are presented to us as options, we pick from those options, but then the electoral college actually picks the winner. Finally, a president is just a guy. He's got no magic. He's just a dude. He doesn't create jobs or build bridges. That's all of us. We do. He just leads. So I assume there's plenty of really good leaders...who don't happen to be company plutocrats paid in the billions. Just good managers who understand the needs of the people. From that pool is where we should be picking leaders from. But there has to be much smaller niche pools where good candidates could come out from. Like the leader of a food co-op? Or maybe the organizer or a car show or street food event. Those people move others and make things happen. Moms from the ASB in school? Teachers? There's is a shit ton of people who are really smart and are good leaders at universities. And the goals are clear right now...deal with homelessness, defend against China, fuck Ruzzia really good until it decides to not have an army ever again, and vegetarian pizza options.... could we please have more?
