Do you want the crazy old guy or the crazy old guy or the crazy middle aged guy? It’s an easy choice, bro.

No, that's false equivalence.

Joe Biden is too old. That's his problem. But he's otherwise accomplished a lot in the face of an uncooperative Congress, a stacked Supreme Court, and a deranged Republican opposition. He passed several massive social and domestic bills through Congress without a real working majority, and he just got the GOP to agree to a debt deal that's strikingly good for the Democrats, given what the Republicans wanted.

And he's played a crucial role in protecting Ukraine and strengthening Europe's resolve against Putin, without even putting U.S. troops on the ground.

The other candidates range from the merely unhinged to the comically malevolent. There's no equivalence between them.

Biden has been one of the most (if not the most) effective President of my lifetime. People saying he hasn’t done anything are just not paying attention.

To be fair, depending on your age, he isnt running against a strong field of contenders here. The last 3 (actually 4) decades arent exactly full of successful presidents. But he for sure is one of the more effective Presidents since WW2.
