I could only make it like five minutes, but this is a great summary by the AP:

In first half hour of debate, a raspy Biden has delivered rambling answers that sometimes trail off as he defends his policies and record.

Trump has countered with falsehoods on issues including the economy, abortion and NATO members’ defense spending.

The two have also exchanged deeply personal attacks.

Edit:

Biden was talking about “saving Israel” too. Despite the vast majority pissed at how he’s handling it.

The conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians is an especially vulnerable spot for Biden. With only 26% of U.S. adults approving of his handling of the issue, it’s well below his overall approval rating (39%). In the latest AP-NORC poll, nearly 6 in 10 Democrats disapprove of his approach to the conflict.

He’s completely out of touch with what voters want. I have zero idea how anyone could think risking trump as president is worth giving an 82 year old we don’t want another term in office.

Why are we running someone Dem voters actually want?

That 26% of people that approve of what he’s doing with Israel is all US adults, including trump supporters. It’s not even 26% of Dems…

Worst debate in United States history.

BeMoreCareful ,

A lot of people are saying that. My staff told me that just before I came out here as a matter of fact. History’s worst debate in the history of the world. A lot of people are saying that.

Maybe they believe that the supreme court is more influenced by money than ideology?

Both are demented, but the election is about the whole executive branch and not just the specific buffoon at the top. That’s what I’ve been telling myself anyway.

Hello_there ,

Both are demented or both have dementia?

imPastaSyndrome ,

Isn’t that literally what that means?

And who is going to appoint the next supreme court justices

solrize ,

In practice that’s done by party hacks and staffers already. The president signs off at the end.

“Their taking Black jobs, and their taking Hispanic jobs …”

“What exactly is a Black or Hispanic job Mr. Trump?” should have been the follow up on that one.

We stayed up to watch it here across the pond, made it to 10 minutes.

Seriously, WTF is going on over there? How are these two people the top candidates to represent 380 million people?

morphballganon ,

Conservative gerrymandering, court-stacking, purging voter rolls, propaganda etc

maynarkh ,

Okay, that explains Trump, but Biden?

DNC has gotten lazy as a result of First-Past-The-Post election style making them the least-crazy viable option.

Beside preferring Trump or Biden, what the fuck Americans have with cadaver like people?, these both fuckers should be retired since like 10 years ago not kidding…

AmidFuror ,

Biden and Trump are no Andrew Tate, amirite? Well, Trump is not too far off.

TheBigBrother ,

Maybe Andrew Tate would be a better president than both of these old fucks…

Hookers and Bugattis for everyone…

xmunk ,

We don’t need yet another rapist candidate.

TheBigBrother ,

Idk what’s better, if a young rapist, an old rapist or a senile dement… LMAO…

xmunk ,

Of the three? The senile old man hands down.

Especially with how insane both the rapists are.

TheBigBrother ,

I believe you have never know someone with dementia, rapists are definetly bad also, people with dementia live in a nonexistent reality and are incapable of rationalization. TBH all three options are shitty options the longer you live the more you realize American polítics are a fucking joke…

xmunk ,

My thing is… Biden can be a complete fucking train wreck but he’s going to be surrounded by relatively sane people. Trump would be surrounded by Stephen Miller and other fucking clowns - Tate would probably pull Peterson or some other asshat into his cabinet.

TheBigBrother ,

IDK what’s better/worst, a competent idiot or an incompetent genius…

morphballganon ,

If you think Tate gives a shit about the 99%, you’re even more out of touch than these two geezers.

TheBigBrother ,

I think none of these three give a fuck about the 99%…

morphballganon ,

Then why would Tate give hookers and Bugattis to everyone, if you understand he doesn’t give a shit about the 99%?

xmunk ,

America has a broken political system. It needs to change and there are legitimate attempts - but this is the choice we have.

Nurse_Robot , in Trump–Biden Debate Conspiracies Have Already Flooded the Internet

It’s so painful to watch Biden attempt to recall accurate information, while watching Trump effortlessly lie.

As I’m watching it, Mozart’s Requiem in D minor is playing in my head.

TheRealKuni ,

When Biden seemed lost at the beginning, it was the Introitus.

When they were arguing about golf, it was the Confutatis.

When they were both responding to how to help Americans with addiction by talking about restricting fentanyl coming into the country, it was the Dies Irae.

The entire thing was underlined by the Lacrimosa.

The closing statements, the Kyrie. Lord have mercy.

Edit: (Obviously these are not in performance order.)

Omegamanthethird ,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

This is probably the worst Biden has ever sounded, and it was largely because he was trying to remember and repeat everything he could.

Meanwhile Trump just says whatever comes to mind.

Also, what was up with those muffled mics? You could hear it in Trump’s mic too until he started getting louder.

Nurse_Robot ,

I didn’t notice the muffled mics, but I agree with you on all accounts otherwise

ramenshaman ,

Before the debate they said Biden had had a cold as well.

Maggoty ,

The mics were turned off when it wasn’t their turn.

Omegamanthethird ,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

No, I mean both candidates sounded softer than normal. Like the sound was a bit muffled. It was most noticeable at the very beginning before they started talking louder.

Maggoty ,

Interesting, I didn’t notice anything like that. Maybe they screwed up the audio.

vaultdweller013 ,

Sounds like a noise suppression issue. Probably just a fuck up by the techs.

HubertManne ,

At one point trump was talking forever. you could see even he was not sure what else to say but he kept plugging along. I was like. isn't his time up? aren't they supposed to mute the mics?

HubertManne ,

its easier to make stuff up than remember details that need to be accurate.

It’s probably going to SCOTUS and it’s probably getting shot down (although who tf knows anymore). The big point for them is to embolden their base.

JimSamtanko ,

Yup.

AFKBRBChocolate , in How to watch the first US Presidential Debate 2024 online: free live streams available

Oh my god, Trump just said “I’ve never seen anybody lie like this guy” and he wasn’t pointing at himself.

@Wahots@pawb.social avatar

I really liked the part where he was trying to assure people that he probably, mayyyybe wouldn’t die in office, and ended by saying “We knock on wood wherever we may have wood” lmfao

AFKBRBChocolate ,

Trump’s lies have gotten so over the top. We’re like two steps away from him saying he was one of the guys who walked on the moon.

And his cult will believe it.
