Two older men, one 81 and the other 78 were grappling with each other. It wasn't a wrestling match but a dispute between the two older individuals. Their past experiences are their wealth, but there's no future. However, one will be chosen to lead their country and the world until 2025-28. The recent controversy on Thursday night has left everyone wondering about the repercussions of the world's most influential country's setback.

Before this, America has never witnessed a debate between a current president (Joe Biden) and a former president (Donald Trump). Since the 1960s, each TV debate has featured new candidates. When the time for them to leave behind all worldly connections and pray to God approaches, instead, they prepare to take responsibility for the country and world. Is there anything else more peculiar in the world to be concerned about?

Biden and Trump have agreed to debate twice. Previously, the debate has been going on for three rounds, but this time, it has shrunk. But there is no positive feedback about the first phase anywhere. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States has dominated the world. Since China is trying to establish a small share there, it is blocked everywhere.

For 30-35 years, America has been doing whatever it desires. During this period, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and Libya were destroyed. Thousands of men, women and children were killed in Palestine. No one is sure how many more will be killed. America's decision is behind all this, sometimes alone, sometimes with a few friends.

There are just a few incidents of war and murder, but there are many other issues to consider, such as the economy, climate change, and immigration. Additionally, there are many domestic issues. It's a lot for the President of the United States to handle. This gives us some insight into the enormous pressures he faces.

In Thursday night's debate, Biden's voice came across as weak, and his body language appeared dull. Meanwhile, Trump's seemingly endless lies have shattered all political norms. The Republican Party has nominated Trump as their presidential candidate for three consecutive elections despite the party's storied history and notable past leaders.

Let us put aside the issue concerning Trump for now. But what will happen to Biden? How can he show his face after failing the first exam? It is difficult to expect that Biden will be able to erase this difference in the next few months. There is already talk among the Democrats to replace Biden. Many Democrats have come down on the field vigorously with this.

Bernie Sanders, Michelle Obama, California Governor Gavin Newsom, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar, New Jersey Senator Cory Booker and many others are being considered for this list. Like Biden, his running mate, Vice President Kamala Harris, has accomplished nothing in the past four years. Their only job is to support Ukraine against Russia's invasion and Israel's continued war crimes. They just continued their daily work inside the country. As a result, there is no discussion about her name like Biden.

Democrats must decide whether to put forth or remove the ageing, stuttering 81-year-old Biden before the party's final caucus in July. Time is running out. America's two major political parties have never faced such significant challenges.

After all, this debate between the two older men raised many questions. First, authoritarian America, is about to pass in 2025 to one of the two who is bent on his age. Second, they have no concern for the future due to their age. Third, there is a lack of leaders from new generations in America's two major parties. Fourth, both rivals are liars. Fifth, both agree on Israel's right to carry out genocide in Palestine. The protests of the American educated youth against it are of no value to them.

Upon seeing the actions of two older men, Cornel West commented on his X handle, "Is America addicted to self-destruction?" Robert Griffin stated, "After the 2024 Biden vs Trump Presidential debate, THE REST OF THE WORLD IS LAUGHING AT US." While it's acceptable for the USA to mock and belittle other countries, they are hurt when the same is done to them. Social media is inundated with thousands of similar comments. This situation truly reflects the state to which the two major political parties and their candidates have brought the people of the USA.

A member of the famous Kennedy family, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is offering Americans an alternative in the 2024 election. Robert, a lawyer, has left the Democratic party and is now seeking to run as an independent candidate.

Kennedy Jr.'s challenge lies in the weight of history. It's extremely difficult for anyone outside the Democratic and Republican parties to win the race. However, there is hope for Kennedy amid Biden's struggle after the debate, just as Trump is facing challenges. We will have to wait to see if Robert F. Kennedy can seize this opportunity or if the American people will grant it to him. However, if the battle between Biden and Trump remains confined, it could signify troubling times ahead for America and the world.
