Imagine a country on the way to a presidential election.
Presidential candidate A is criticized for lying constantly, trying to overturn the last election, stealing top secret documents from government, being involved in financial fraud, and having sexually abused a woman.
Presidential candidate B is criticized for being 4 years older than candidate A.
Then imagine, that this presidential election is a toss-up, because candidate A is really entertaining to watch on tv.
This is where we are.
@randahl We saw this in 2016. Hillary Clinton was one of the most experienced Presidential candidates in US history, and the bar was incredibly high for her while there was none for Trump.
@Bargdaffy @cosettepaneque @randahl Yeah, the "most experienced" or "most qualified" canard is kinda strange.
If your goal is to rehabilitate Clinton's image, you need to pick something that isn't so obviously bogus.
There is no way to make the case she had the most impressive resume of any candidate ever. You don't need to be a history buff to know that's obvious hyperbole. Her resume was... fine.
And anyway does it even matter? For those of you who don't like Trump, is his lack of political experience really your problem with him? Buchanan vs. Lincoln. etc. Biden has plenty of experience, but it's experience pushing harmful legislation in the Senate. Why would you want "experience" if it means that?
