1/2 #Biden
“I know I’m not a young man, to the state the obvious. Well, I know I don’t walk as easy as I used to, I don’t speak as smoothly as I used to, I don’t debate as well as I used to, but I know what I do know. I know how to tell the truth..
I know right from wrong. I know how to do this job. I know how to get things done. I know, like millions of Americans, I know, when you get knocked down, you get back up.
@GottaLaff I'm sorry but the best thing about Biden is that he is not Trump. I'm not American, so not my circus, not my monkeys but there is a retirement age for a reason. I still hope Biden wins the election (cause Trump is very capable of fucking up the rest of the world along with America) but I'm not gonna act like this dabate is not a shitshow.
@mayaisloading The best thing about Biden is that he believes in democracy and has gotten some great legislation passed.
Whether you "like" him or not isn't the point. "Not Trump, absolutely, but there's more to him than that.
A debate is a staged event and not representative of how a president governs. He had a bad night.
He had a good day today.
@GottaLaff I don't follow him enough but I won't dispute he has done his fair share of good politics (and some bad ones). That's not necessarily attacking him but more the fact US politics is mostly dominated by boomers and situations like that has happened many times before with other politicians. That's not to say you should just throw out all boomers from your political parties but having some more balance in the highest roles would be better. Since the population is balanced, the representatives should be too.
Believing in democracy is a law bar, is bare minimum. I would be following the election (along with the dumpster fire of EU elections in the near future) and would route for Biden. That doesn't mean I can't acknowledge he is not the best democrat out there to be ruling a country with the size and power of the US. It's not black or white and that's ok.
@mayaisloading I've never said otherwise. But believing in democracy is THE bar. And apparently it's a high one now.
