Old man who vaguely agrees with my politics and is just mildly disappointing or a literal shit filled dumpster fire? Hmmm tough choice.

Status quo keeps on truckin' along.
Rich keep getting richer. Poor people? Well, who cares about them anyway.
Yes but don't you see? The blue team wins (the presidency).
Use the poors as a cheap source of teeth for aquarium gravel.
He got more done than we thought. Way better than the last guy and that WMD degenerate.
Yeah, I'm not a Biden fan by any stretch, but he went way more left than team I thought he would, and has been very effective on a number of issues.
I'd rather have almost any other prominent Democrat, to say nothing of an actual liberal, but I can live with 4 more years of Biden. He's the only realistic candidate in the party. No one was going to win a primary challenge against him.
Biden wasn't my first choice in 2020 and I really wish he was younger, but he has done extremely well as President so far. If he wins again and stays healthy, I have almost no concerns he will continue to get things done.
"we're under a fascist insurgency and we must ensure that the GOP doesn't gain the White House, this is why we must vote for a politician who refuses to do anything to prevent this insurgency from gaining strength like expanding the court or making abortion available on federal land and who refused to use their constitutional authority to prevent giving the House GOP any concessions on the budget/debt ceiling"
The fact that the majority here is okay to settle with a mildly dissapointing 80 year old, just so the other "evil" side doesn't win is a bit disheartening for the state of US politics and democracy.
And this is comming from a politically shithole country I am born and living in.
