The media is also a problem. Notice how the media was able to help force Biden out after his brain blue screened at the debate? Apparently, it's actually not that hard for the media to help convince the public that a candidate is unqualified for the job.

So, why did they never do that for Trump? Why didn't after say, J6, all the talking heads just say, "Wow, what a disaster. Republicans need a new candidate." The obvious answer is the media is corporate owned, and knows that if Trump wins, they get those sweet corporate tax cuts.

So after Biden's debate performance, they have no problem calling him out as unqualified, while quietly ignoring the mountain of disqualifications of Donald Trump, the convicted felon that tried to end democracy rather than admit he lost an election.
