      Holy fuck, he managed to pass bills that others failed, despite Republicans trying to block everything. He reunited the West and NATO after his predecessor severely weakened us. We got back from the pandemic that the orange boofon mishandled, with record number in jobs, lost unemployment.

      Yes he is passing, and he can govern.

      We are taking about this after one debate, where the fat ass was actually speaking nonsense.

      Edit: also after watching the full interview (I recommend it) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8LoAsHz-Mc they said they also offered similar interview to Trump and he refused it all together. The ones that he attended were heavily edited. It is crazy it’s like living in an opposite world.

        Yeah and I mean, I don’t see anyone saying he didn’t do a lot of good things over the past 4 years. Those are also the same points he kept repeating ad nauseam in this interview, but the problem is, that’s not the issue on everyone’s mind right now, and that’s not what really matters here.

        What matters is, is he physically and mentally fit to continue doing that for another 4 years? And unfortunately, even if the answer is a firm ‘Yes’, he still needs to demonstrate that it’s the case, and convince all of his potential voters that it’s the case, which re-stating past successes is not doing.

          Trump wants him gone, because Republicans (not maga ones, but the ones that call themselves “independents”) are more likely to vote for him than anyone else the democratic party puts up.

          In the interview he is not a fast talker (he never was, he has a speech impediment since childhood) but what he is saying actually makes sense unlike the far guy.

          Even during the debate, while trump appears to talk smoothly, but if you actually listened and trying to understand what he said it was just rambling that was getting worse as the debate continued. He wasn’t even responding to questions asked.

          I know why he refused to do this interview as well, because he would have to answer questions and people could easily compare their responses.

          Yes, Biden isn’t young, but the fact that media pushing on him and ignoring obvious signs of dementia on Trump side tells me that this whole thing is astroturfed.

        He could govern. No sane person can deny that Biden is not as mentally acute as he was four years ago.

          Sure, he is 3 years older than trump, but at last he is not afraid to rely on experts in his administration. Unlike the previous guy who fired everyone and decided to run the country by himself and got us into a pandemic that we had not experienced for 100 years.

          4 or of 5 biggest protests in US history happened during trump. We damaged our relationship with allies, NATO was on the brink of breaking.

          Everyone also talked about economy being great under trump, but after mid 2018 we started having crashes, and looked like might get recession. And in 2020 economy fell for obvious reasons.
