My dude, have you heard Trump speak lately? The thinks he ran against Obama in 2016, that Obama is Joe Biden's boss, that Jeb Bush got us into Iraq, and that World War 2 hasn't happened yet. My point is, if you're going to try and use the "Biden is senile" talking point, every single criticism also applies to Trump. Trump is only 4 years younger than Biden, which would make him exactly as old as Biden was when he started his first term. Not exactly the picture of youth or virility.
A wise man once told me "Never let perfect be the enemy of good.". I understand the apathy of never feeling like you are represented by the leaders you vote for, but the perfect candidate will probably never come around in your lifetime and you will always have to settle for what you've been dealt. If you sit down and evaluate the candidates rationally, the choice is obvious. There's an absolute mountain of achievements Biden has raked in during his first term. Trump, not so much. Plus the whole attempted coup thing should make anybody think twice about giving Trump a second term, full stop.
Who would you vote for, if you had your choice of candidates? Because I can tell you that if your answer isn't "Kamala Harris", you're going to be suuuuper disappointed if Biden does actually die in office.
