    I’m not at all American and I honestly don’t understand the American voting system but I will say this: basically anyone would do the job instead of Biden, it’s shocking that someone in his state is allowed to run for presidency again.

      Old people are easier for lobbyists to manipulate. The US has a lot of old politicians for the same reason scammers target the elderly.

        That may be a factor, but most of the old farts in office have been there for decades. They weren’t 70+ years old when they first got elected.

          In the boomers case and older, even when they were young, they were easier to manipulate than the young people of the present. We not only know more now, everything we’ve learned is information literally at our fingertips on the internet.

          The fear of Trump has cause many to overlook and burry all negative stories in general because people assume acknowledging faults is going to lead to Trump and overlooking it will somehow help Biden.
