He dropped out of the re-election bid because he had a "senior moment" in the debate - that's not full blown senility, but it's enough to sway plenty of people who are deciding who gets their finger on the launch button for WWIII.

Because he wasnt 100% perfect. This is just the standard double standard. Trump spends the whole time shitting himself on stage, and Biden isnt 100% perfect and now people are crying about him.

The only way people thought Clinton was a problem is if they started thinking he was a problem because they had already started drinking the cool-aid

Totally agree. And those "Let's go Brandon" morons who were "all about the price of gas" somehow are still giving repeat offender sleeping during meetings shitting himself while incoherently ranting figurehead a pass because it was never about what they were talking about anyway, it's all about "us vs them" and whatever their delusions are about how "their team" is looking out for them - they lie to themselves almost as often as they lie about their reasons for their decisions. No, it's not worth debating when the other side is transparently 100% insincere.
