    Who cares how bad/lost Biden is at debates or interviews. That is not what he will be doing as president. He will be discussing policy with advisors in meeting where further discussion where rewrites are made with further discussions and more rewrites.

    Stewart spent almost no time at all on the treasonous acts of the other candidate like pushing for fake electors and attempting to subvert the peaceful transfer of power. The guy mumbling through an interview was funnier to talk about while the treasonous guy is just too boring cause we already talked about the treasonous stuff…gahh

      Look, this is what I would say to people who asked “who cares if Trump is an unprofessional ass?” The president represents all of us on the world stage. He’s the one American most of the world knows. It IS ALSO the president’s job to go and speak with anyone we need him to, to represent us faithfully as the most polished representation of the American people. If Biden can’t communicate, if he’s just going to mumble at other dead leaders at G7, then he literally can’t do the job.

        Trump’s unprofessionalism and Biden’s mumbling are the least important things about those candidates. One has willfully tried to destroy democracy while the other has led the most liberal and progressive administration in U.S. history.

          One has tried to destroy democracy and the other will just give up the democracy for the first one to destroy and won’t fight for it.

          To be clear, the best thing to do is to vote for a democrat in the election, but it would be much better if said democrat isn’t Biden

            It might be better, but if he’s telling the truth about how he isn’t going to drop out, then we need to actually rally behind him to help get more independent votes, not constantly talk shit about how awful he is endlessly until the election.

              If it’s the only option, then the democracy is already dead and voting for Biden is pointless. Democracy entails that the government represents the will of the people. And you’re suggesting that because some old fart decided to cling to power, everyone should stop demanding that their will is represented and start kissing that old fart’s ass. “That’s the only person you can vote for to preserve democracy” is a self-defeating statement…

            FDR ordered men in to have sex with sailors in order to entrap and expose the sailors and arrest them for homosexual behaviors and ruin their lives while he was Assistant Secretary of the Navy. He slowly changed his mind about homosexuality through his years in office but only because he has personal experience with it with Eleanor. It’s almost impossible for anyone of that time to be a progressive as we are today. They would be considered staunch conservatives today.

      To be fair, the second half of his argument addressed why he thought it was important to focus on Biden, and not Trump for that segment.
