Trump's unprofessionalism and Biden's mumbling are the least important things about those candidates. One has willfully tried to destroy democracy while the other has led the most liberal and progressive administration in U.S. history.
One has tried to destroy democracy and the other will just give up the democracy for the first one to destroy and won't fight for it.
To be clear, the best thing to do is to vote for a democrat in the election, but it would be much better if said democrat isn't Biden
It might be better, but if he's telling the truth about how he isn't going to drop out, then we need to actually rally behind him to help get more independent votes, not constantly talk shit about how awful he is endlessly until the election.
If it's the only option, then the democracy is already dead and voting for Biden is pointless. Democracy entails that the government represents the will of the people. And you're suggesting that because some old fart decided to cling to power, everyone should stop demanding that their will is represented and start kissing that old fart's ass. "That's the only person you can vote for to preserve democracy" is a self-defeating statement...
