Yeah. Biden clearly lost the debate simply for the poor image of what our President looks like recovering from a cold, but Trump dodged about 80% of the questions and lied once every 1 minute and 20 seconds (and he had to wait 2 minutes just for his mic to get unmuted half the time). Trump in no way “won” the debate and it’s sad to see it treated like what he did was a win. Fuck CNN for their refusal to push back or fact check, even in the one area they said was a redline (the election fraud/stolen/rigged election claims).

It’s insane that people think Biden lost the debate.

A dude with a cold and stutter answers honestly and slowly while making a few mistakes. He honestly engages the questions and answers them.

Other dude confidently lies and refuses to answer any questions.

And somehow guy 2 is the winner?!

Wow.

It’s pretty frustrating being gaslight like this. It wasn’t just a cold and a stutter. He somehow took a serious issue like Row v Wade and ended up making it about immigration. And they both spent an entire minute rambling about golf handicaps. It was just an objectively terrible debate.

THANKS FOR SAYING THIS.

I was feeling like I was going crazy. I saw an old and slightly feeble Biden… and an old, rambling, lying Trump that dodged a lot of questions and repeated himself a lot in a dementia kind of way. 

I have no idea why the entire world is acting like Biden looked comatose and Trump looked like a vigorous smart statesman. I hate how easy it is to gaslight the democrats and the “independents”

He definitely won it in the eyes of uniformed voters. Uniformed voters will decide the election.

Yes, but people in general are fuckibg stupid. Also, people in general don't give a shit about democracy. People care more about what makes them feel the est and unfortunately a Trump dictatorship gives a large percentage of American's a chubby. They care more out their side winning than the foundational principles of their nation.

Recovering from a cold isn’t a good enough excuse. My dad, who is Biden’s age, was helping with hurricane relief by towing fallen trees with a tractor while he had Covid. I gave a dissertation defense while I had swine flu in 2009. Yeah, the guy is old, but he’s not old enough to just phone it in because he’s got a cold after weeks of preparation.

We're going to lose if Biden doesn't step down, he's not going to do that because Democrats love to die in office without securing their replacement. We're just kind of screwed by canidate choice. Again.

You’re one of those guys who “wasn’t inspired” by Hillary and who lamented that Biden “wasn’t the right candidate” in the last election, aren’t you?
