and not with the candidates you want or need. Our politics is not designed to offer you a lot of choices and that's by design. Funny how we embrace an economic system around the myth that a new product can come out of nowhere and become the new leader of the market but we don't have a political system that endorses the same concept for parties. Instead it continues you achoice between two proverbial "evils" in perpetuity. Welcome to my world. I've been living here for as along as I've been able vote in the US.
Perhaps instead of complaining about Biden's age you can focus your attention to the structural reasons this is happening and start talking about that. I'd suggest putting some of your energy into that so at least we are openly discussing the ways in which our political system fails us, and in the meantime, look at the two candidates as facts on the ground and decide which one you can live with, and which one you think is going to cause the greater damage, then bite the godddamn bullet and do your part.
A discussion in why we are where we are can be more fruitful in the long run with respect to where we should be heading than talking about how old and feeble Biden is.
