Fair enough, I'll try to tone it down in the future.

Disunity will lose us this election. We don't have the luxury of being picky about our candidates here. The alternative to Biden is fascism, full stop. Anyone who presents themselves as opposed to Christian fascism but continues to oppose Biden (especially with factual inaccuracies) tends to make me doubt their honesty, or their intelligence. And it should make everyone here suspicious as well.

My personal worry that while I actually like Biden, policy-wise (not everything, but he exceeded my expectations), he will lose election to anyone younger than Trump.

If the Republicans put forward anyone under 70 they better keep Biden away from stairs for the entire election cycle. Voters are way too dumb to rationally evaluate "really old" vs. "fascist" if they have video of one thing and just vague warnings of the other. I don't think it's a sure thing he'll lose, but it's a very real possibility in an environment and cycle where it really shouldn't be.
