Last night’s debate just shows how bad our presidential candidates are now

Even as a conservative, I do NOT want Trump in office. Dude is old, an asshole and all he talks about is how great he is. And Biden is just sick. Dude is NOT mentally there.

Half the time he doesn’t know what he’s talking about and doesn’t remember where he is. And of course Trump tried to capitalize on that last night with a few comments.

Like why is our government still filled with so many old people. And if you think I’m just being a “right wing conservative, I hate some of the republicans too. Just look at Mitch McConnell. Dude basically had 2 strokes on camera!! Why is he still in office??

Like we have 120 million people in the US older than 35 years old. We can find TWO fucking people younger and better for the democrats and republicans? Like come on. We can’t find 100 people in the senate that aren’t old and senile??

Edit: sheesh, totally did not expect for this post to blow up like that

It has to do with who votes the most in primaries.

It's retired people, which is why we have a country led by people who are literally rotting in office.

Millennials were fucking stupid and decided to just not show up if they did not feel super excited, so their voices got ignored. Let's see if Z is smarter.

Right, it's like "Oh, they didn't come to my house and ask exactly what I want, guess I should just give up", like grow up people, there are layers of government and layers to who gets elected to the highest office, vote in every election at every level and it'll change the makeup of the people at the top, it's a long game. President is just general manager, not person who can make changes all on their own and do whatever you want.
