It’s quite something watching the media’s obsession with Biden’s debate performance and whether or not he should step aside.

Meanwhile you have a treasonous convicted felon on the other side of the aisle who attempted a real life coup just 3 years ago, and who lies and spews insane fascist nonsense every time he opens his mouth. He’s also only 3 years younger than Biden and is responsible for turning the Supreme Court into a vehicle for far-right lunacy, stripping away women’s rights in the process. And yet I don’t see anyone in the media talking about any of this stuff, or whether or not Trump should drop out of the race.

People are so easily distracted by surface level bulls***, and no one seems to be looking at the bigger picture here. It’s sad. Yes, Biden is too old. But he’s still a decent human being who cares about his country, and he’s currently the only choice if Americans want their democracy to continue. Someone younger can take over in 2028, or even before then if at any point he’s unable to perform his duties and Harris has to take over for a while, which would also be fine. If the unthinkable happens and Trump gets back into power, you likely won’t even have a free election in 2028, and your country will be well on its way to becoming an authoritarian state.
