All of you have very legitimate points, of which I totally agree.

But let's not be naïve here... while Biden's cognitive decline is obvious to a blind man, and Trump is as sharp as ever, that will only play a small part in this election because Biden's handlers will never allow him to debate a house plant... not to say Trump. He cannot complete a sentence without the teleprompter, sometimes even with it... "pause".

It will come down to the usual issues (the economy first, immigration, inflation, crime, foreign policy, abortion, etc).

And as much as we would like to think presidential elections are a national vote, it only truly comes down to the 6 swing states (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin).

Go one step deeper, and those swing states will be won by the independent voting.

So what do the independents in the 6 swing states think? That will decide this election.

But for the point of this thread, Biden is absolutely the worst candidate I have seen in my 62 years for many reasons. And the Trump trials are absolutely a deep state attempt to sway the election, which is making me want to vote for Trump even more.

Do not discount what these trials are doing to the polls. I often think how dumb can voters be. Maybe not that dumb not to see what is happening to our democracy and ability to have free elections.

What I’ve seen, generally, across most media platforms, is most lefties will comment negatively towards Trump no matter what the context and almost never comment in any way regarding Biden. Just my experience. They will comment nothing, bad nor good about Joe, but will always go right for the throat with Trump.
When you flip it around, righties will bash Joe just as bad BUT…will normally and usually make positive comments towards Trump as well. You might want to call them crazy MAGA cultists or whatever, but they love their guy. The lefties, in my opinion, know Joe sucks, but just try to ignore it and keep working the Trump is bad narrative because that’s all they got.

While you may be right Karl, there can be no denying that there is an example of each presidency as each has served.

Which four years was better than the other? With that as a narrative, Trump wins every time.

I wonder how many will use that as their own barometer.

You can even hear the people laughing in the background.

Hilarious. I forgot about that one. That's great!

Love the comments.

Most people either really love Trump and hate Biden, or dislike both and the reason for complaining about the state of the country is because that's the two choices we have.

No, it's all about Biden. That's what I hear when people complain about the country.
