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

Majority of voters are 50+. Until younger generations turn out in large numbers for elections, the status quo will remain. Far left and far right politicians need to be voted out. Moderates are the only way forward out of this mess. It doesn't matter if they're Republicans or Democrats, they need to be moderates.

Saying that only moderates will get us out of this mess just endorses a failing status quo and surrenders our ability to imagine a better system. We need transformative and radical changes to our political system if we want sane politics that actually act in our collective interests!
