You're great, and I mostly love your take... but... "a convicted criminal who’s only running to avoid accountability and potential jail time," ALSO sums up the man whose genocide Joe is aiding & abetting. Criminally. By trafficking weapons to a genocidal regime, while it bombs a defenceless Gaza more heavily than the US bombed Hiroshima & Nagasaki. And by aiding & abetting the sadistic starvation of Gaza.

On top of which, Joe has repeatedly obstructed international justice.

And when it comes to democracy: Joe is exploiting America's veto-power to overrule the global consensus against Israel's savagery, AND rejecting the will of the American people (including persistent & dedicated protests), against Israel's genocide.

If Joe were JUST a geriatric mess — but otherwise decent & good for his country — it would be reasonable to ask the electorate to carry him. But he's not.

Joe is a narcissistic, geriatric, racist liar, who surrounds himself with yes-men, and ignores the will of the people when it suits him. Yet Joe's promoters act as if "he alone" can defeat the OTHER narcissistic, geriatric, racist liar, who surrounds himself with yes-men, ignores the will of the people when it suits him... and has been handed a very efficient plan to rid himself — and America — of democracy's last scraps.

Not only is Joe Biden not the best man for the job of beating back Trump, but he might be the worst.
