Yes, but his ideas are coherent and have solid foundations. Plus, as mentioned by the reporters' analysis, I've also seen trump mix up names. I'm not a fan of Biden and his peperformance on the debate left me extremely concerned. This press conference has eased my concerns considerably. Am I satisfied? No. But I'd rather vote for a shoe before I vote for trump. I agree with Biden in that this, is a race to uphold Democarcy. trump is Democarcy's biggest threat. So, Biden and Harris have my vote.

​@Anil18834 "How did the perception that we live in a democracy begin? By people who are both ignorant in their own country's history and in the definition of democracy and republic. The US was formed as a republic to PREVENT democracy. "We are now forming a Republican form of government. Real liberty is not found in the extremes of democracy, but in moderate governments. If we incline too much to democracy we shall soon shoot into a monarchy, or some other form of a dictatorship." -Alexander Hamilton "A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine." -Thomas Jefferson " pure democracies “have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.” -James Madison"
