Yeah, it's a shitshow. Who knows if anyone else could have won against Trump. But if Biden's stepping down hadn't been last minute, there would have been open primaries and the candidate would have been different.
I'm sick of elderly people in high level government at this point. No one should be a Senator, President, or Justice when they have severe medical or mental problems. I don't think Joe Biden could have won either, and he does seem to be less with it than he was four years ago. We had the same thing with Dianne Feinstein, who was getting confused during interviews and saying things opposite to what her staff had already released. And look, I don't want to be ageist! The simplest way to solve all these problems (well, maybe not the president one) would be to have term limits for Justices and Senators and House members. That would also solve the problem of representatives just running and staying forever and grabbing up power without actually getting any legislation done. Well, it might not solve it but it would help.
