Most of the time, it rarely is. It will always come down to someone you dont particularly care for. If you like said candidate there will always be 10 more who dont.
It's funny too because same shit happens in countries who actually have a parliament government. They have way more real choices than we do and they tend to always pick the less likeable candidate.
UK, Germany, France all pick rather conservative politicians to lead them. I find it ironic that Mexico the one country who people categorize as a shithole country actually picked a highly progressive candidate whom people actually like.

Biden has dealt with stuttering his entire life, and still deals with it. Is this guy the IDEAL liberal candidate? No. But I don't think there's any truth behind his supposed cognitive decline. I mean, him saying he'll leave the pandemic response up to the experts and let Fauci et al have an open mic anytime they want to address the public should prove his mental state is exponentially more stable than Dear Leader.
Some people aren't great at public articulation. Biden should be judged on his platform.
Consider his tax proposals. In line with general Democratic demands, he would raise the corporate profits tax, eliminate deductions for high-income earners, repeal most of the Trump tax cuts and increase taxes on fossil-fuel emissions.
But he doesn’t stop there. His campaign has gone up and beyond, calling for three unique reforms that would dramatically increase taxes on the rich. If Biden’s reforms are implemented, the tax code will become more progressive than it has been for generations.

Disagree with what? Politicians can change course, so his track record is irrelevant. All we can judge him by now is what his current platform is. He's still center-right on some issues, like Medicare for all, but his tax plan is rather progressive.

I think a leader should be judged on his ideas and not how seamlessly he can string words together.
Like I told bono, he's far from the ideal lib, but his tax plan is far, far better than any Republican's, so he should get ringing endorsement from progressives regardless.

I want to expand on why a verbally articulate politician, a "great communicator," if you will, is (or should be) irrelevant at best and can be dangerous at worst.
Irrelevant, because how verbally articulate you are doesn't betray intelligence, integrity, wisdom or any other personally trait we should want in our politicians. Dangerous, because we often see politicians who are "great communicators" use their charisma and articulation to craft vapid rhetoric full of logical fallacies, like appeals to emotion, appeals to tradition, ad hominems, whataboutism, strawmans, and a host of others, and these tricks can be very convincing when spoken "articulately" to a public who doesn't know how to spot logical fallacies. This is also why live debates are retarded. They're usually bounded to two to five minutes per side, and the tricks that usually work in a short time window like that in a debate are the aforementioned fallacies. Not to mention the public always seems to believe the side that was more well spoken and scored more cheap rhetorical points via fallacies was the "winner" of the debate.
Live debates restricted to a few minutes per side really are a poor intellectual forum in which to exchange ideas.
Someone might say, "Well if a politician can't verbally articulate his ideas, then how are we supposed to learn about his ideas?" Reading about them. I get "the great communicator" was highly more important during the era of radio and television, and when the written word was disseminated much more slowly. But that's no longer the case with the Internet, obviously.
This is also why Trump's team is so desperate to get Biden to debate. Trump will of course say a whole bunch of nothing in the debate, but he'll speak that nothing with "energy" and "charisma," while Biden might stumble a bit (even though Biden will likely be making more salient points). Then Fox News can run a loop of Biden stumbling and continue with their cognitive decline mudslinging.

I guess if the public is going to keep falling for cheap rhetoric and charisma, vy65's idea of enacting strict qualifications for candidacy is the solution. Maybe a masters degree at minimum.

Disagree that his stuttering and loss of words is something he always had, or unrelated to his age. He used to have a penchant for saying stupid things. Sure, I'll agree he doesn't have dementia (yet), but his age is most definitely showing.
And fuck no, you judge him on his 35 years as a politician. His problem isn't that he changed, the problem is that he changes all the time to whatever direction is politically convenient.
The platform is the smoke and mirrors he's trying to sell you now. It would be 100x more honest if you told me you rather have him than Trump picking SCOTUS judges, at least that certainly a honest point.

I don't believe that. He's in favor of amnesty for the DACA recipients. Walking that back once he got into office would be political suicide.
He's always been a reasonable gun control advocate to the point where wingnuts think he's a gun grabber.
He's against the death penalty (changed course on that).
He wants to raise the fed. min wage to 15.00 an hour. This is a mainstream Dem position now.
He supports:
In concrete terms, Biden supports the College for All Act, which Sanders and Rep. Pramila Jayapal introduced in 2017. The act would provide matching grants to states that want to eliminate tuition at public colleges and universities for any student coming from a household with less than $125,000 in income. When he introduced the bill, Sanders noted this covers about 80 percent of American households — and more affluent households don’t have a huge barrier to higher education. But on the 2020 campaign trail, he disparaged this goal as inadequate and backed zero tuition for all students.
And:
First, Biden wants to make the federal Section 8 housing voucher program an entitlement, like SNAP or Medicaid, so that all eligible families would get help — a huge change from the current situation where 75 percent of low-income families who meet the criteria for help don’t actually get any. This is a longtime goal of anti-poverty wonks that until recently didn’t seem to be on the radar of Democratic Party politicians but has gained considerable steam over the past two years.
https://www.vox.com/2020/5/26/21257648/joe-biden-climate-economy-tax-plans
And I definitely like this from his 35 years as a politician:
Biden opposed the George W. Bush administration's tax cuts enacted mostly in 2001 and 2003, noting that most of the benefits of the tax cuts went to the very wealthiest U.S. families, and arguing that the cuts did not help working-class and middle-class Americans.[152] The Obama/Biden administration advocated keeping the cuts in place for 98% of U.S. taxpayers but letting them expire on income over $250,000 earned by couples (or income over $200,000 for individuals).[152]
And we also have to like this from his past career:
Throughout his career, Biden has supported gun control measures.[60] Although he voted for the 1986 Firearm Owners Protection Act, a bill supported by the National Rifle Association (NRA) that passed the Senate 79–15, Biden also authored the 1993 federal assault weapons ban, and is a longtime supporter of universal background checks, and received "F" ratings from the NRA while he was in Congress.]
Maybe he'll walk back his tax plan (which is more progressive) once he gets into office, but I think we can at the very least expect him to eliminate Trump's tax cuts, which should be a big :tu
I take it your issue with him is he was a "tough on crime" politician for most of his career and he was hawkish at times (Iraq War)?
I don't see much in his current platform that runs counter to his record (he's always been for more taxes on the wealthy, gun control, etc). He's rather center-left on many issues by American standards.

With career politicians, you throw history out the window. Biden is going to legislate in a way that is politically advantageous for Biden. That means when progressive causes come across his table from a congress that leans left, he's going to sign them.

I think you did misinterpret. I was challenging the notion that how articulate someone might be isn't necessarily evidence of "cognitive decline." Even if Joe was a more articulate speaker in the past than he is now, that doesn't mean anything. And it's irritating to me that the Fox News propaganda machine keeps running with that angle when Dear Leader is showing more evidence of cognitive decline and irrational thinking. But he speaks with such energy! And some on the left seem to be buying Biden's imminent dementia, as well. We just don't know.
I also wasn't trying to put any lipstick on his platform. I simply linked an article showing his proposed tax plan, which gets a thumbs up from me.
On your last point, if progressives are tired of the old politicians the DNC keeps trotting out, younger progressives simply need to get out and vote. And no, this isn't a swipe at "kids today." Young people from all generations are typically more apathetic than older generations. That's the main issue why political progress has remained stagnant in the US.

You should know as you've gone through life your priorities do change, especially when you have a family. You become a bit more "selfish" and will put your family's well being above social well being, so this means the idealistic democratic socialist at 19 might vote more economically conservative when he's 40. He'll of course be for all the typical progressive causes like LBGT rights, racial equality, gun control, pro-choice, prison reform and what have you, but he might end up holding his nose and voting for a moderate republican or dem because they'll save him 10K with their tax plan vs. the other candidates. That extra 10K might mean the vacation him and his family have been wanting to take for years, or the start of little Jimmy's college fund. Or if he's a small business owner, it might help keep the doors open for another year. Basically, you can't count on the current young progressives being that progressive over their lives, so you can't assume they'll vote for the next Bernie when they're 35 or that they will change things when they come into power.
And yeah, a progressive society like that in Europe is better for everyone (except the uber-rich) in the long run, but our aforementioned 40 year old might not want to wait how ever many years for those progressive economic policies to start paying off for him. This is why young people need to vote and drag that demographic kicking and screaming into progress.
OP, more fake news mongering from the 3rd world fake Rolex pushers.
