I don’t really think you can say for sure who has a better team and whatnot. That’s an assumption and besides, Trump has proved that he knows exactly what he is doing with how consistently reactionary and neoliberal his term was. This pretty much shows that the decisions most of the time are not made by him, nor by any “team” he builds, but by the interests behind the conservative party. Likewise for Biden.
I don’t want to sound like I’m defending Trump, I hate Trump and anything conservative/right wing with all my heart. I just want people to realize that when all that’s left to talk about in public discourse is the mental capacity of the individual candidates and their criminal records, it is a sign of the narrowness of political differences of the parties, of absence of any important political point of confrontation. They have and historically had the same direction and interests with few differences on social issues that don’t interfere with their interests. At some point people have to realize both parties are so similar and distant from any actual pressing problem in the world (genocide, climate change, billionaires) that the lesser evil doesn’t hold up anymore - in every situation there is always a level of evilness that the lesser evil doesn’t hold up when reached by both.

Really? Just look at how many members of Trump’s campaign and whitehouse staff have been charged or convicted with felonies. Look at how fast he went through chiefs of staff. Look at who is running his campaign today.
You got Trump right as a reactionary, but he is in no way a neoliberal. Neoliberals are not my cup of tea, but they are absolutely nuts for things like civility, following established norms, inclusiveness, immigration, and free trade.
Biden is a lifelong neoliberal who has miraculously made some pretty major moves away from neoliberal policies. It’s a shame the term “Bidenomics” flopped, because there really is something to it. The Biden labor department has made significant changes to aid in unionization. The Chips Act and Inflation Reduction Act have brought a lot of key manufacturing back to the US, which is the antithesis of neoliberal doctrine.
Trump’s economy was a disaster even before COVID hit. Supply chain issues started with his tariff war, unemployment was already growing, and inflation was already speeding up.
Even a Biden 20 years younger wouldn’t be my choice of president but, against Trump, there is no contest.

It’s almost as if they both have been made offers they can’t refuse. We’ve only had one president who was unmarried and/or did not have children.
