    You’re actually saying with a straight face that this was worse than the debate in 2020 where trump interrupted every single sentence? That’s fucking rich to me. That was some of the most embarrassing public moments America has endured.

        Yeah, I guess. Just sucks that Trump being an awful person doesn’t work against him but the old guy getting tongue tied does.

        The previous debate was far, far worse. But don’t let that get in the way of your exaggerations

          Why is it exaggerating to have a different opinion…?

          That’s dismissive and rude.

            I think a lot of people watched the debate (or didn’t) and are flipping out about it. I watched the whole thing, it was cringy and sad. But it didn’t really change anything unless the people in power provide another democratic candidate. If we talk ad nauseum about how bad it was for Biden, all that does is discourage voters into staying at home.

            I despise the idea that the louder more confident liar is seen as “better” somehow. But even Democrats are running with that idea right now. Biden getting overwhelmed a few times doesn’t invalidate his presidency past or future

      That was actually a valid debate strategy for his toxic base. Losing your train of thought and failing to land points on your opponent is not.

        That’s the thing: Trump is playing to his base, whenever he is rude. It is unfair that liberals demand more from their candidates than conservatives but that is the way that it is. Knowing this, someone could aim to win, or else they could… not, I guess.
