President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump will participate in a debate on Thursday night, their first since the 2020 election. The writer expresses strong disapproval of both candidates, highlighting their lack of competence, coherence, and fitness for the position of President. They criticize Biden for his ineffectiveness in handling the economy, inflation, and foreign relations, as well as his focus on student loan forgiveness to appeal to younger voters. Trump is criticized for his narcissism, arrogance, insecurity, and belief in his own superiority, as well as his baseless claims of winning the 2020 election. The writer questions how these individuals, who they see as inadequate leaders, have risen to such positions of power. They express disappointment in the current political landscape and the choice of leaders available, particularly as the country approaches Independence Day. While acknowledging the importance of democracy and the power of the people to choose their leaders, the writer laments the lack of better options for leadership and the implications of having individuals like Biden and Trump representing the nation. Despite their personal distaste for the upcoming debate, the writer acknowledges the necessity of watching it for their job and reflects on the state of politics and leadership in the country.
