Could we seal Biden in a germ-free bubble a week before the next debate? The last thing you want Biden sounding like is sickly - he had a cold today and COVID last time they debated in 2020.

It was Trump who had covid but was asymptomatic

Why did anyone watch this debate? Were you expecting to learn something new? Are you on the fence and hoping this would help you make up your mind? I mean, the Trump people are going to vote for Trump, and the Biden people are going to vote for Biden, regardless, so it seems like a complete waste of time.

Everyone is just hoping their guy doesn’t say something that will hurt their campaign. Not sure anyone is happy though.

Comedy. Tragedy. The very very faint hope that one of them will have a heart attack on air.

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.

I’d rather spend the rest of my life at Lilith Fair

The whiner line is pretty good. Whenever Dark Brandon takes over, Joe doesn’t look so bad.

xmunk ,

The whiner line was amazing, and CNN absolutely gave that to Biden by cutting to commercial break right afterwards. This, of course, after CNN asked Trump to answer the same damn question three times in a row.

xmunk ,

One hilarious take-away… Trump literally doesn’t know what the opioid crisis is. He completely floundered trying to respond.

Coach ,

I’m downvoting this in the hopes that nobody watches this shit show.

Coach ,

So y’all downvoting me really think that Biden is doing a good job? Seriously??

morphballganon ,

I’m downvoting you for being a douche. The quality of the debate is irrelevant.

Holy fucked up choices… Why, why, why can we not, with our vast knowledge and speed of passing information in our fancy futuristic world, do some ranked choice, or any other voting style, that would actually give us a choice we might feel we have opted for?

My mind wasn’t changed on my choice I will have to make. But, wow, I feel like I might really be a responsible adult if this is what our chosen leaders look like in a live debate. I don’t like this feeling. It’s icky.

morphballganon ,

The reason is because republicans know they must prevent it, or they’ll become extinct.

Holy shit this is hard to watch.

I hear you. All you hear about is how incoherent Biden is… Bullshit. He comes across as articulate and knowledgeable here. Trump hasn’t said anything at all yet. He just keeps spouting idiotic generalizations about how bad the state of the country is without any examples or proof.

OsaErisXero ,

Don't forget the oughtright lies.

foggy ,

No, it’s hard to watch because Biden needs to clear his throat and keeps drifting off.

Trump keeps not answering questions and lying and dodging.

It’s all around pathetic.

themeatbridge ,

One guy is slightly hoarse.

The other is a delusional fascist.

So basically both sides the same.

foggy ,

I didn’t say they were the same. That’s a weird thing to say. I said they were both pathetic.

Because they both are.

givesomefucks ,

I hear you. All you hear about is how incoherent Biden is… Bullshit

…

During a response to a question about abortion, Biden mentioned, seemingly out of nowhere, a young woman who was recently murdered by an immigrant — an apparent reference to a 12-year-old Houston girl who was strangled to death, allegedly by two Venezuelan men who entered the country illegally.

The connection to abortion was unclear.

Calling Biden articulate is being incredibly generous. I mean, what on earth was he trying to communicate here?

Overall, Biden put in a very lackluster, unconvincing performance while Trump did his usual schtick of rambling off topic, lying through his teeth, and refusing to answer any questions on policy. The whole thing was a shambles.

eran_morad ,

I tried, twice. Fuck it, it’s just unbearable.

foggy ,

Didn’t they say there would be live fact checking?

Sigh.

AFKBRBChocolate ,

Thank god it’s over!

So… There’s really going to be a second debate? I don’t know that I can take it.

xmunk ,

It may suck but it’s necessary.

holy shit that jan 6 question just dropped and as soon as trump started talking bullshit, biden just looked so so annoyed and pained lol

xmunk ,

Trump has just flat out refused to answer several questions… the moderators have brought questions back a few time - I don’t think Dana just saying “that’s a lie” would be productive but I think Trump’s evasion got well highlighted.

Key take away: The greatest threat to the winner of the next election is a strong breeze.

Biden stumbled and lost the tread in the opening minutes but is doing well now.

Trump is doing a good job at being Trump. Pretty tired of him ignoring the question and talking about whatever he likes and the moderator letting him.

“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.

biden sounds like shit, but hes got all the right words. hes made a few mistakes hes quickly fixed, but no giant mistakes and lots of details.

trump is doin what trump does... throw a wall of lies loudly

AFKBRBChocolate ,

I don’t know, I’m for sure voting Biden, but I can’t say he’s doing great. He’s doing a little better when he’s getting riled, but he sounds old - more than three years older than Trump.

originalucifer ,
@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

agreed, but if you imagine those words in print, its very obvious biden knows whats hes talking about.

the morals of an alley cat!

AFKBRBChocolate ,

Oh, for sure. And I’ve worked with enough really sharp older people to know their words can get flubbed up when they’re on the spot when even though their brains are sharp.
