@teeps7098 I'll let you in on a little secret: all the things said today about Biden are what was said in 2020. If you listen to the media, nobody wanted Biden. Yet, he won the primaries and the presidency. And he ran (and is running) not as "I'm not Trump," but with the full belief that he's the only one who could beat Trump. I believe that that still holds true here in 2024.
The media (including YouTube channels like this one) tells us all kinds of things, shaping opinions of those who pay attention to politics. They tell us when to be outraged, who to root for, who to vilify, and so on. They don't care about you and me, only about what sells. The direct evidence is that Ronna McDaniel fiasco at NBC. However, most voters aren't paying attention, especially not in April. That's why polls don't matter, the polls that the media creates and uses to drive ratings. I find that it's best to partake of them very sparingly. It's how I preserve my own sanity.

@teeps7098 🤣! Are you for real??? Anyway......
Look, I can appreciate that you don't like so-and-so for [insert reasons]. Yes, that is your right. Personally, all I care about is that a candidate can do the job and do it well. I don't want someone who says all the right words but can't get things done. After all, it takes experience to deal with Congress.
On that front, Biden is doing a good job, better than I expected. And he's able to do so well because of his experience; he's been making Republicans look even more foolish than they are, yet he's still getting things done. So, complaining about his age, tenure, or things that have no bearing on the job that he's already doing is counterproductive. Further, it's extremely... odd... to expect someone else to choose candidates that appeal you. After all, no one can know what you think qualifies as "good" but you.
