Tickboxes. Old: Both Biden and Trump. Biggest liar: trump. Worst talker: Biden.

Personally I prefer a bad talker than a liar. Judge a person by their deeds, not their words.

An incompetent, narcissistic megalomaniac who is a slave to foreign interests (through his hunger for money and status), who is a convicted felon, who abducted classified documents, who wanted to overthrow the democratically elected government and who runs on a platform that wants to take away peopleโ€™s most basic rights (especially if those people are women, non-Christians or of color).

VS

A predominately competent and moral, if somewhat lackluster, president who is showing his age.

It is quite mind boggling that the election isnโ€™t a forgone conclusion; with a landslide victory for Biden that would put results from the average dictatorship to shame.

As an outside spectator, this is exactly what I see and I cannot for the life of me understand how this could be considered a choice of who is the lesser of two evils. To me it seems more like a choice between evil and mild inconvenience.
