maybe I’ve just lost the plot but biden has like a 40 year history of needlessly kicking his own ass in various goofy new ways then popping out the other side giggling like the caddyshack gopher so I dunno what I’m supposed to do as far as freaking out that he’s up to it yet again

Did you actually watch it? I feel like people who didn’t see it aren’t grasping how bad it was

no and I’m telling you gently that neither did most people

I sat in lovely weather in the greatest ballpark in America (biased) and watched my beloved Baltimore Orioles beat the piss out of the Texas Rangers on Pride night, instead of polluting my brain with that farce. I wish everyone would do their version of that going forward

I watched the phillies normally untouchable relievers blow a 3 run lead by yanking a cy young frontrunner with two outs in the seventh capped by their two top dudes getting freak soft tissue injuries, and you know what I still love baseball and I regret nothing

almost 300 million americans did not watch the debate

The election will be decided by like, 5000 people spread across four or five states.

yeah, so the campaign's ability to mobilize voters is going to have a lot more impact in the end than this debate

How many of those 5k people do you think watched the debate, and more crucially, changed their vote because of it?
Avatar
They don't have to change their vote. Biden is already the underdog in this race. I can't believe I'm hearing arguments like this - Trump won in 2016 and Biden barely squeaked through in 2020.
Avatar
you can’t believe you’re hearing arguments? on the internet? localized in this town at this time of year?

I love you man, but... I'm just kind of surprised to see this level of denial in so many people. I'm not sure where this faith in Biden or the American people is coming from, because by the looks of it both are fundamentally broken and don't deserve the benefit of the doubt.

I refuse to believe any of this polling. I think Biden wins easily and nothing will change that except him dying before the election. I think people are exhausted with this whole charade and eager to be done with it. I could be wrong. I KNOW getting mad online about it doesn’t help

I am not a man of faith. This is a statement of faith, which I fundamentally cannot understand.

If no one changes their vote, Biden wins! We keep acting like 2020 didn't happen! What did Trump do yesterday to change a single vote?
Avatar
Zero, maybe ten. People aren’t undecided because they’re well informed, now, are they? Don’t believe me? Volunteer for a campaign, they’d love to have you.

The problem is that those clips will go into ads.
Avatar
I think that's the problem outside of like sports the only people that are gonna see those ads at 60+. And you can say YouTube or whatever but people don't watch those ads.
Avatar
Outside of sports is kind of a crazy qualifier? They'll target the suburban housewives as well. Before yesterday I thought Biden should be the nominee because he had the best chance at beating Trump. I know longer think that.

That cuts both ways though

If Biden was your parent, you'd have hidden the car keys after last night. It's just really difficult to articulate how bad it was to people who didn't watch. I'll vote for Biden's corpse over Trump, but he should really bow out.

They’re still going to see it

You should watch it, to amuse yourself. I have never seen him be this bad, this is like he was given a sedative instead of stimulant. He legit looked and sounded like he was 100 years old.

I know how tv works if I don’t watch something it’s usually because it is uninteresting to me
Avatar
I, too am sick of people telling me my thoughts are incorrect because I won't agree with their interpretation of events immediately. I know that's not what you said, it's just a suspicion. I salute your tenacity!

It's entirely possible that he took something for his cold. Medication has a different effect on us old folks. And note that he improved quite a bit as the night wore on. I think he was nervous, for one, and that made his stutter worse & introduced more pauses.
Avatar
Could definitely tell he was nervous. The first big pause he had, I thought he was going to actually break down. I feel for the guy, I think he’s done a semi ok job as president minus Gaza, and understand that things affect people differently, but we’re going to lose to a criminal fascist.
Avatar
Even his facial expressions the whole time, just not a good look, no matter what. And people who aren’t clued in participate in elections. They’re going to see the Biden videos and make up their mind if they haven’t already. Performances, sadly, matter.
Avatar
He was probably on cold meds. His voice was so raspy! They probably gave him couch medicine and that made him sleepy. Add stress and a stutter?
Avatar
Stutter I’m used to. He was losing his train of thought, he wouldn’t counter any of Trump’s lies, he looked away from Trump & the camera extremely often. Just overall, terrible. I don’t think he completed an entire line of thought without rambling or losing sight of his point. Anyone can do this.
Avatar
He at one point took a winning issue (abortion rights) and took a wild tangent to immigrants raping and killing people! He is not the answer, no matter the excuse of how well he was feeling. He clearly does not have the juice and needs some rest. He’s going to die in office like Diane Feinstein.
No, most people aren't interested in politics. They are going to vote for Biden because Trump and his hooligans got in their face and they do not want them there.

And when Trump gets sentenced to a weekend in prison on July 10th, literally everyone will forget the debate.
