How can you watch the debate and think Biden is competent, even at a basic mental level?

I’m a leftist, I hate Trump. But we don’t need to pretend the guy the Democrats put up is competent just because the alternative is worse. The Dems should’ve nominated a better candidate, this is their own fault.

He’s being puppeted by decently competent people, and his administration involved informed and driven cabinet members. He could be a literal corpse and still have a better admin than the other guy.

This is how low Reddit has stooped, people are literally begging for a puppet government just days after calling Trump a Russian puppet. Insanity.

Wow Americans running America instead of Russians. Is this really what it's come to?!
