      There were at least two “Biden pooped themselves” incidents. One was the DDay memorial. The second was an audience with the pope.

        I honestly don’t even care if our president accidentally shits themselves. I mean, it happens.

        What I do care about is if our president has such a fragile ego that they’ll lie and punish other people because they shit their pants. The kind of person who will accuse everyone else of shitting their pants, but only because that person’s own pants are constantly weighed down by dookies. The kind of person who can’t forgive themselves for a little brown downtown, so they steal and extort an entire country, just so that they can extort other countries and become friends with other people who love lying about their bowel movements.

          And the problem with that, is that other people do. And if you don’t pick a candidate that is acceptable to a broad enough coalition to win the election: you don’t win the election.

          Its not a matter of what you’ll accept out of a candidate; its a matter of what the electorate will accept as a candidate. And while you can acceptable pants-shitter, the American people wont. You being willing to accept less makes you irrelevant; you aren’t a vote we need to work to get. Which is fine. Its your vote. Do what you will.

          But, by putting the bar so low and accepting a pants-shitter, you sabotage your ability to actually get that person into office, since, well obviously, not enough other people want to elect a pants-shitter. Since you have such low standards, you should be willing to accept that your view doesn’t matter and shouldn’t be weighted as highly as people who need something more, like a specific set of policies or a certain level of competency.
