The debate was bad (I didn’t watch for my health) but honestly how many people are there out there that haven’t already decided. After 8 years of trump I find it hard to believe that actual voters can really be on the fence with their vote. Biden’s actual record vs. Trump’s is (no pun intended) impeachable, there’s no comparison at all. The fact that trump can win because of an antiquated electoral college despite never getting close to the popular vote is the actual problem, and part of the reason we don’t have better candidates on either side. As bad as Biden may have been last night, it’s a drop in the bucket compared to convicted felon and serial rapist Trump. Dude was handing over classified documents to the Russians like two weeks after he got in office. The ghost of Ronald McDonald would be a better CiC.

Story Time: Here I was scrawny white kid just graduated high school in North Carolina. Applied at the local Waffle House to be a third shift cook, the pay was good and being fresh outta high school at home still it would have given me a leg up from the other local fast food joints in my town.
So there I am waiting for the store leader, and out walks from what I gathered Michael Clark Duncan even beefier twin brother, he grabs the back of this chair like it was a toddler chair and plops down. So here I am thinking his brother was fantastic in the green mile and he starts looking me up and down like he is judging all my life choices, very quickly and quietly he asks me “can you fight?”, “excuse me” I say nervously. He then rubs his temples and repeats the question with an explanation, “ look dude I asked can you fight, it gets rowdy in here after midnight, last thing I need is some scrawny white kid beaten up on a shift that means I have to come in an cook”. I started laughing he started laughing and then got real serious, “but seriously can you fight”?
So anyways third night on the job I was getting a high five from him because when he watched the recording from the night before and I was using a chair and a spatula like some crazy lion tamer, he only responded “well at least you pay attention to your surroundings”, best boss I ever had, always gave it to me straight.
I shared this story to say this, it’s amazing, and if you go after midnight it’s like catching a dinner showing of bum fights, so in other words, spectacular.
Edit: not Michael Dunn I meant Michael Clark Duncan.

I mean president of the U.S. is a 24 hour job, every day, for at least 4 years. That’s why these guys look like they’ve aged a couple decades after they leave office. Biden has been way more effective and accomplished a lot more than I anticipated, and he’s obviously the superior choice in our system that only gives us two viable options. But the future of our country and democracy in general shouldn’t rely on one presidential election, but that’s exactly what’s at stake right now. Regardless of what happens this year, the flaws in the system have been laid bare and it just took a single narcissistic conman to do it. I’m sure he’ll live to 120, but the one thing that could save us is a giant blood clot finding its way to an artery.

This often happens in POTUS debates. The team rehearses him all week on memorizing a bunch of statistics so he has a prepared, focus-grouped response for every topic so he can come across as very prepared and knowledgeable.
Then the media latches onto something totally meaningless like his voice is scratchy because he has a cold (or they isolate a candidate's mic when he's hollering over the crowd noise in Howard Dean's case) and get everyone arguing about the most inane reality TV type shit instead of who will actually benefit everyday Americans. Because corporate media conglomerates don't want to benefit everyday Americans - they want to benefit themselves. So obviously, the convicted felon reality TV guy is gonna be widely proclaimed as the debate winner.

After the Hilary/Trump debate I realized debates don’t mean shit. Hilary was “too prepared.” Can you BELIEVE that shit? Trump got away with admitting to explicit sexual assault (admitting he didn’t wait - no consent - to “grab women by the pussy”, which is exactly what many of his accusers alleged) and even less heinous but equally obvious BS like saying he had a plan to replace ACA (Obamacare) and it was gonna be better and cheaper and cover everyone.

Watching people on Reddit doom post over the debate is like watching all the non sports fans watch the Super Bowl. “I thought Mahomes was good? Why’d he let that guy tackle him?” After the first play. Biden is bad at debates. Biden has literally always been bad at debates. Biden is objectively good at governing which generally does not include closed book oral exams. Debates show nothing and anyone basing their decisions off of anything other than the policies stated and the amount of lies told is just maddeningly ignorant

He was genuinely good at debates back in the day. He single-handedly ended Rudy’s campaign at a debate Rudy wasn’t even at. He beat Palin with kid gloves on after the media spent a week setting low expectations that as long as Palin could talk in complete sentences she would win. He dunked on the supposed policy wonk Paul Ryan despite his perception as being the dumb guy.
He’s older so doesn’t have the strengths he did 12 years ago but his aides also just fucked up debate prep. He’s not a dementia addled husk like the media portrays but having him ramble and try to land analogies about abortion bans leading to countless more women dying than migrant murders was not the right call. He fucking hates Trump. He calls him a sick fuck behind closed doors. So many of his voters in 2020 hated Trump. Let him channel that anger (and also just call Trump a sick fuck on tv tbh). The aides prepping him should have let him go off-script or focused more on sound bites rather than minutiae that sound like rambling by an old man that needs a cough drop.

You call him a pedophile. No, seriously.

I hate this was seen as pandering and we just ignored that Hillary is a serious chili-freak:
“I eat a lot of hot peppers,” she told CBS News anchor Katie Couric, who had asked her how she maintains her stamina on the campaign trail. “I for some reason started doing that in 1992, and I swear by it. I think it keeps my metabolism revved up and keeps me healthy.”
In her Air Force plane, which stocks fruit, almonds and Tabasco sauce, which she dribbles on nearly all foods, including salads, she slept on a foldout sofa in a private cabin.
At a farm stand in Davenport, Iowa, this fall, Clinton detailed scientific research on the health effects of spicy food, telling a cashier that she finds eating raw jalapenos “so refreshing.
I can just imagine her angrily munching raw jalapenos by the fistful circa 1998

Hilary was probably the most qualified candidate ever, thoroughly mopped the floor with trump at every debate, and was also just not the most blatant liar maybe to ever live. There are 300 million people in the U.S., the president is supposed to represent all of them. The idea that you’re only Going to vote for someone who you want to hang out with or agree on 100% of everything with, otherwise you’re just not gonna participate literally just makes it less and less likely you’ll ever get what you want. I have a ticket out of the country if things go south, but I’m Not sure how much it will even matter that that point. Vote you idiots.
