    Biden’s been making gaffs like this for almost 50 years. Its what he was most famous for before becoming VP.

      And the democrats can’t produce a candidate that’s not gaff prone? What a sorry state of affairs.

        Who cares if he says the wrong name occasionally? At least he usually corrects himself unlike Trump

          I honestly wouldn’t care if he wasn’t applying for what is arguably the most important job in the world and I think the “still better than Trump” argument is just setting an extremely low bar.

          I don’t think knowing the difference between Zelensky and Putin is a big ask.

              I think that the POTUS should be extremely competent given how serious the job role is, I actually don’t think that should be a controversial, let alone delusional point of view.

              The irony of people like you calling me delusional whilst you pretend Biden is up to the job leaves me lost for words.

              Biden’s cognitive capacity is clearly in decline and if he manages to win he’ll be 85 when he leaves office. Tell me one other person with a job role as serious as his that’s served by someone like that.

              Yes, I know Trump would be a disaster, that’s exactly why it’s so important that the democrats put forward the best possible candidate they can and if that’s Biden, I think we should all be very worried.

                  I put it to you that you’re going to sleep walk in another Trump presidency. Are you going to act surprised or admit that people didn’t want a senile president?

                  The options are trying to do something about it now, or waiting four years whilst Trump is inflicted upon the world.

                  I think that pretending there is no other option and having to hold your nose while voting for Biden is very weak.

                  Many have said, “I’d vote for a dog/potato/cadaver over Trump”, so if that’s true, it actually doesn’t matter who you pick in place of Biden. So let’s pick literally anyone who doesn’t look like they’ve stayed up too late at the old people’s home.

        So you’re voting for the rapist cuz only one of them can get to 270…see how your logic completely falls apart when you realize you have no other choice.

          I’m not voting for either. I’m not American. I’m just concerned with the shit state of America’s shit choice of candidates for president because of how it affects the rest of the world.
