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's not just presidential candidates.  Basically 99% of all people who want to get into politics or who are politicians are scumbags. Even if they start with good intentions, they are immediately corrupted.  And most are as smart as a dish towel to begin with anyway. Yet we happily reelect incumbents on our team because we're as dumb as they are.

Just wanting to be President makes them suspect in my eyes

If an individual is not pushed screaming and fighting to be a politician and doesn't serve his term or two at most and move on you know he's a scumbag.
