I'd agree with you, except that we're in the dark timeline where the DNC has burned us hard by making dumb electoral decisions. We're basically given another chance at 2016 where we have a democratic shoehorn vs a narcissistic authoritarian. I'm actually getting to the point where I regret not voting for Hilary because of how much of a shit show those years were.
So, yes, I'd love to vote for someone else, preferably like Bernie, but it's far too late to recampaign. Especially since it's less than 5 months prior to actual elections. Given what was accomplished these past 4 years, I'd actually be okay with Biden if he would meaningfully do something to help Palestine.
I'm not sure what about last night gave you the impression HE is capable of doing anything.
The last three years did that. Idgaf about one bad debate.
Just remember, there are tons of people around him that hear him act and talk the way he did last night and keep this all going. He talks to foreign leaders and loses his train of thought. He participates in security briefings and decides how to handle crisis while he cannot hold a conversation. That isn't one bad debate, it is a result of him not having notes or interaction with his advisors. This was him demonstrating his actual mental capabilities. It was predictable by anyone who has paid attention. Also, name one thing he did over the past 4 years that wasn't immediately blocked that isn't just.... not be Trump.
Biggest climate change law ever, forgave student loans, pardoned homosexual acts on the military, stood in picket lines, got railroad workers sick days, appointed a trust buster to the FTC.
Plenty more. And he's not trump. Got my vote and Anyone who isn't a complete dumbass, their vote too. Don't forget about who will pick new SCOTUS justices too.
He forgave very few student loans. The first attempt was predictably blocked. The second attempt is Actually impossible to qualify for. I am a first responder. To qualify you have to have made on time payments through a qualified payment plan for 10 years. If you ever changed jobs that 10 year timer resets. And if you make on time payments for 10 years your loan would be paid off already anyway, we arent walking around with a doctorates. There are forums and forums of people trying to figure out how to qualify and no one does. It is all just posturing and pretending they tried. Everything else you said is a gimme and par for the course. Only thing is Trump would have been far more productive in the opposite direction. So there is that.
