He stepped down because he came off badly during his debate with Trump.

He really didnt.

Nobody who saw that debate that wasn't already guzzling down propaganda thought trump did well

I would vote for a cardboard cutout or actual criminal Democrat over trump, and I saw the debate, and I knew it was doom for the Biden campaign.

My heart was broiling because Trump has never been fit since 2016, but he was the same psychotic lunatic he always is, "they're eating the cats they're eating the dogs!" But Biden was noticably confused, losing his place, forgetting what he was saying or what the question was, and returning to stock cliches.

99% of people watching would come out of it thinking "Biden seems older than he was" which is obvious on the face of it but Republicans had been laying the dementia propaganda for months and now they had "evidence".

Hes a bad public speaker and a bad debator.

Right,

The only people who watched that debate and thought that Biden had dementia had already been guzzling the coolaid.

Trump is an actual fascist. Who said he would rule as dictator. Unless the cardboard cutout was also a fascist, there is no double standard here.

Trump never did well, Biden still came off badly. It's the old double standard - Clinton gets impeached for a blowjob, meanwhile pedo island gets a pass. Democratic candidates have to be super-human smart, educated, informed - but others just have to be "relatable."

Biden is not a great public speaker, and not a great debator.

But yea, double standard,.
