    Did you watch the debates between Biden and Trump. Biden was far more articulate and sane than trump, and it still wasn’t enough.

      Who said they were going to beat medicare and had an eyeball get bloody on stage?

      Both were senile racist bastards, one has always been incoherent, one was more recently incoherent.

      Both of them were clearly demented. Trump just making shit up and Biden interrupting him to mumble incoherent, ending in “We Beat Medicaid!”

      Nah he was just quiet senile instead of loud senile. I’ve had patients that are rather agreeable despite low cognitive function. They don’t wind up in the hospital as much and get discharged quicker because the agreeableness means they can accept home caregivers more safely, but they very much still need assistance with decision making. He wasn’t more coherent per se, just more able to cooperate with his handlers. Ignoring morality (a distressingly common occurrence throughout the history of humanity) is it preferable to have a leader who accepts control of the oligarchs more placidly or more chaotically? I don’t speak to my parents anymore for a variety of reasons (including politics) but one tiny spark of something they did get right was that trump is slightly harder to keep under control, and is accelerating the destruction of our broken political system. We ultimately just differed in opinion on whether the coming system is more likely to be better or worse.

      Sure, but republicans don’t care if their candidate is sane (obviously). Democrats do.
