Joe Biden announced he was “going to bed” before being cut off mid-sentence by an aide in a press conference delivered at the end of his trip to Asia.

Yup. He's like 80 and putting him through jetlag isn't ideal. I'd go back to bed too. Clearly to me though he was having difficulty thinking. Again he's 80 and being put through jetlag. It's insane to do this to any 80-year-old. He's not the best president but it beats the shit out of any Republican Trumpers we would have got instead. At least he's not actively trying to harm the nation.

I'm no fan of Trump but the defense that Biden is better than the alternative is weirdly defeatist.

Have you not seen what the GOP are putting forward as candidates? It's not defeatist, it's realistic.

This is a sad reality for you guys.

It's not defeatist at all. It's how it is. Voting for a third party in the US is throwing your vote away. The only hope is that people campaign hard for a third party and everyone abandons one party for another. That's the only hope and that's still a 2 party system. It's just a new party taking the place of the old one. Even then it's an impossible task that won't happen in the next 10 years.

Ahh so your a bot.
