That’s a very good point. The president is in charge of appointing a lot of other people that are more important for making decisions.

Yeah, I feel like people are freaking out and ignoring that Biden (and Trump) are largely the people they surround themselves with

This isnt a dig at him but Biden probably hasnt made a single decision without heavy guidance by all the people around him. This is always the case to a degree i assume, but probably even more with senile people like him. It just makes the whole concept of a president so nonsensical.

The boyfriend last night was surprised I didn’t watch the debate.
“They’ve both been president. I was paying attention. I know what their presidencies will be like. Why listen to them talk about it?”

That, and we both know how terribly uninformative debates are. I got similar criticism for skipping it but like, we know their policies.

I was talking to some friends and I don’t get independents at this point. If you don’t know who you’re voting for and need to see this debate to decide, you haven’t been paying attention to the past 8 years.
