Look, when you're voting for a President you're not actually voting for just one guy. You're actually voting for every single member of their staff from the Vice President on down, the people who have the lunch pail type jobs who do the nuts and bolts daily grind work of holding our democracy together.

So forgive me if I think you a little naive for framing this as "one old guy vs another old guy". Remember that a vote for one of those "old guys" is also a vote re-affirming the first black female vice president in history plus a thousand other staff members that both she and Biden vetted between them.

And a vote for the other "old guy" comes along with about a hundred fucking traitors and moochers and grifters and seditionists and convicted fraudsters and rapists and literal white supremacists, most of whom are his own fucking family members.

All that's true - and I'm grateful to you for reminding us it's not just the person at the top of the ticket.

As Congress grows ever more hidebound and feckless, it tends to kick politically troublesome topics over the fence to the Executive and SCOTUS SCOTUS, which should be guided by the law, has lost its gravitas - nobody respects this Roberts Court.

And the President's job is too big for one person. Over time, the VP has assumed more responsibility, but it's becoming a problem.
