He couldn’t run his own campaign, and had to drop out. Give the guy a break. He’s old, and has served his country more than 99.9% of Americans.
Served a genocide, war, and the racialized police state more than 99.999% of Americans.
You do not, in fact, have to hand it to him.
Yeah, so? Name a Republican president who did a better job. Because I'll take sleepy joe over George W. Bush any day.
Also we're talking about politicians and presidents here. We don't have kings here in the US, a president is only a piece of an administration. Even if Trump wins and they make president a more dictatorial role, he'll still only be a puppet to other powerful people.
I'm genuinely not sure what people want out of politics? Like do you want some sort of god king to come down from their city on a hill and to fix everything to be perfectly moral? Politics is messy and full of compromise. It sucks, but in the grand scheme of things a president can only steer the trajectory of the country a little bit.
"But I think Republicans are worse" is a thought terminating cliché that allowed you to completely forget that I replied to someone commending Genocide Joe like he's a good guy.

You should care about and be against genocide.
Okay
