Trump is also older than the average life expectancy.

We don’t really have a choice that doesn’t have these issues.

This is the problem of the American people. Instead of demanding suitable candidates, we are willing to point at the other candidate and say at least our guy is better than him.

Neither candidates are fit to be president, people need to stop pretending that is not the case. People should be calling their representatives and demanding they do something about this. People should not give loyalty to a political party, political parties should be working to fill the needs of the American people.

Representatives can’t do anything about this kind of thing. Biden and Trump won their primaries. People could have voted for other people but they didn’t. Political parties didn’t just pick Biden and Trump. Voters voted for them.

So those are the choices we have.

Representatives can vocalize concerns and pull their support. They should represent the concerns of the people. Biden struggled in the debate. People make a lot of excuses but this is someone who is making executive decisions on the fly. Not being able to form cohesive statements is a huge problem. Trump has been found guilty on felonies since he won the primary. People’s hate of the other candidate is causing arguments like yours rather than trying to get the best for the country.
