Biden's best argument against Trump isn't that he makes stupid comments (granted the fact that the media harps on every Biden gaffe, but does not on Trump is sadly a fact) or that he's a bigot, a rapist, a racist, a moral degenerate...I could go on. It's that Trump is:
1. Incompetent. He is terrible at picking good people, he's awful at understanding his job, and has no idea how to work with Congress or conduct foreign policy.
and
2. His policies suck: tariffs will make inflation worse and the US poorer, cutting off immigration will ALSO make inflation worse (and America poorer), and ending the American alliance network will make America unsafe. His fiscal malpractice will require either taxes on the middle class in the future, or cuts to Social Security and Medicare in the future. He wants to end Obamacare which will also hurt us fiscally
There is also this:
3. Trump is morally unfit to lead. But the US has had plenty of morally unfit presidents. Bill Clinton was morally unfit. You could argue LBJ, JFK, Reagan and others were morally unfit. This is not a compelling argument.
The best argument for Democracy is not rights, it's that its just a better system to run a government than an autocracy. Trump's appeal right now is that he's stronger: the best antidote is to point out that, no, he isn't and, yes, his policies suck.
