I mean, he was only the vice president for eight years, so I'd love to hear YOUR suggestions about who you think is "fit to run a country."
What any country or one in particular

Why? Absolutes like "I always vote for the guy who says what he means over the one who doesn't" are pretty silly if the content of what someone says is irrelevant.

Sure, which is why I linked you to not just any website, but (an op-ed on) the website for the New York Times, the most widely read and respected newspaper in the country. It also appeared in print editions. I also linked you to one of his (several) appearances on CNN, again, one of the most widely watched cable news networks in the country. Do you know what a great way to reach older voters is? Probably by getting yourself on the pages of the New York Times or on the airwaves of CNN, which he is doing. I don't really understand your argument.Now, that you're being somewhat civil, I'm happy to discuss the op-ed with you, at length.
I maintain that sticking a 'plan' on a website means you have little chance of people, other than nerds and Biden diehards actually visiting the site. It won't be reaching the older voting block for sure and # 45 is in the same hunt for those voters and he's on TV.

Out of the two choices I have already said biden as trump is a nutcase and ****.
On a whole I find your whole system and the two parties too similar to be only arsed who is in charge when it depends if they might drag us into wars, ressessions blow up the world, domestically I have about as much interest in america as I do belarus or mozambique, and don't consider you any more special than any other country including mine.

For most conservatives the answer is no. For some independents the answer also is No. And for some far left Liberals, the answer also is No.
How that all plays out we'll have to wait and see.
And there in one sentence seems to be the Crux of the matter. Is not being Trump enough?Does it realy matter, as with the last presidential election you have a choice between a twat and a bastard, neither probably fit to run a country.
At least biden isn't trump is the only real thing going for him.

For me yeah as I ain't gonna have to suffer him domestically and I feel trump internationally is a fruitcake.
Either will stitch us up on a trade deal but expect Biden to be less of a wanker when doing it

Lovely. You've replied to the bit about him having an op-ed and being on TV for 30 mins or so, once a week.
That's around a quarter of my response to you.
You're doing exactly what you accuse me of, not addressing the important part.
But your "don't really understand your argument" schtick is fine as a pass off.
The Trump ad released about Pelosi (sorry I don't know how to post things) has convinced me Biden needs to separate himself from the party a bit and stand alone. It is a disaster that she gift wrapped for Trump. I know many on here will dismiss it but ask yourselves if you had been in charge of this interview would you have thought it was a good idea to seem to be flaunted your wealth. When the James Corden episode aired there were rumblings about the optics not being good amongst democrats and Trump jumped straight on it. Things like this are the reason Biden needs to pull his finger out and get animated, nicely written articles etc aren't going to cut it against Trump. I am terrified Joe is going think being presidential is enough and we'll sleepwalk into another Trump win.
I realise this will make no sense if you haven't seen the ad but to me it was an own goal that didn't need to happen.
If anyone is bored enough to explain how you post video's I would appreciate it as then my ramblings wouldn't seem quite so weird ;)
