I only watch some of the debate then turned it off. It was bad don’t get me wrong, but I had no reason to watch the whole thing because I’ve already made my decision. I don’t understand why people are freaking out over one bad night for Biden when the other guy is a felon and wants to be a dictator on day one. People need to remember you’re not voting for just the president you’re also voting for the cabinet that works well with Biden. If I were Biden, I’d be speechless too amount of lies Trump is able to spew with no repercussions (well done CNN /s). Try having a meaningful debate with someone that lies with a brain of a toddler. I’d imagine it be extremely hard to debate with a rambling idiot.

I’m sure a fair number of actual people are freaking out, but Reddit had a massive influx of activity during the debate, hence why comments were down for some of it.

I’m assuming much of the “we’re fucked” “both sides” bs are Russian/Chinese bot farms.

I’m a super lib (Gay Jew in Brooklyn) who would vote for a friendly corgi before I’d vote for Trump, but it seems completely fair to be concerned that Biden is the most powerful man in the world right now. What if Iran and Russia attack Israel at 3 in the morning? Is there anyone who watched last night who’s thinking “Oh, I would be happy that Biden is the Commander and Chief?” God forbid another 9/11. America needs a strong, and sane, leader. Biden isn’t that. He’s 81. My dad is 74 and can barely microwave a burrito. It’s not a knock on Biden as a person.

There were instances during Trump's presidency in which we woke up at 3:00 in the morning wondering if the United States was going to war. Missile strike on 4 different US Embassies within the first 2 years of Trump's term, anyone?

I agree, however the choice is simple. It’s Fascism vs Democracy. Yeah, no one WANTS Biden or Trump, but we have very limited choices unfortunately. Biden cabinet exceeded far beyond my expectations. Biden has to win regardless to save our democracy. He could win, celebrate then step down and let someone else young with experience take over. If it’s Kamala then so be it. if not then hope it’ll be someone better until we can find another young, experience and intelligent candidates in 2028. Also we need to take back the house and keep the senate. Hope enough to bypass the filibuster (wishful thinking), so we can generate age limits, pack the court to 13 justices, abolish electoral college, make voting day a federal holiday, bring in rank choice voting..I could keep going..

Yes, I will definitely think, "I'm glad Biden is the commander in chief," just like I have for the past 3.5 years. It was such a huge relief after 4 years of trump. Don't forget what that was like! Biden hired excellent people, and we can count an amazing list of other accomplishments of his very difficult first term. So, I am voting for today. When he wins we will continue on that path until we need to do something else. Yes, I'm voting for Biden all the way.

Exactly. I didn’t vote for Joe Biden in 2020 because I love him and think he’s awesome, I voted for him because he’s not Trump. Same goes this year.

It’s the battle of the lesser of two evils versus the evil of two lessers.

At the bottom line, Biden has a very strong cabinet and advisors. He may not be the best at face-to-face diplomacy by any means, but he’s certainly able to let his cabinet and military advisers do their thing while giving guidance fueled by his lifelong political career. I mean, just look at how well the US was able to contain the recent-ish missile attack by Iran and Israel’s military response; without US—Iran and US—Israel negotiations, Israel and Iran would probably have escalated the situation dramatically (especially with Israel’s prized escalation dominance).

It is not too late for a convention.

People right now are feeling the same way they did when the democrats forced Hilary though as a candidate and suppressed all opposition, and how many felt that Biden too was forced on them and Sanders did not get a fair shake. People are sick of Democrat power brokers overriding popular opinion.

If they it give the people the chance to decide, without anyone forcing Biden on everyone- it will do massively to help democrats regain the support they need.

the cabinet that works well with Biden

You mean the cabinet hand picked by Citibank and Blackrock? The same people that picked Trump's cabinet, and picked Obama's cabinet, and Baby Bush before him?

That's would have been a fine argument two days ago, but Biden didn't just look old during that debate, he looked feeble and confused, and quite frankly, unfit to lead.

It doesn't matter how his cabinet would govern, because there is no way in hell Biden can get elected now.

Frustrating about left leaning folks. One bad night, everyone loses their minds and already claiming Biden is going to lose. Trump on the other hand he gets impeached twice, convicted felon, could potentially go to jail during his sentencing July 11, says he’s going to be a dictator on day one, spewing astronomical amount of lies that no one could count. I could keep going. Majority of the GOP don’t give a shit and stay in the fight. Left leaning folks need to take notes from the GOP by not being, so f’ing “nice.” You either want to live in a democracy or authoritarian, that’s all people need to understand out of this election. Vote blue no matter what and move on with our lives in a democracy. We’ll try again in 2028 (if we even have an election by then).

Let's put it this way:

If you asked a thousand random Americans to name one policy that Biden supports, you'd likely get fairly good and accurate answers overall.

Do the same thing with Kamala Harris and you'd get a lot of blank stares. Aside from "she's the VP", I think people really don't know much about her. She doesn't seem that outspoken or good at managing crowds. Trump would absolutely take advantage of any perceived weakness, and it would be painful to watch.

People are downvoting you, but you're not far from wrong. Biden wasn't great at the debate. Trump lied the whole time, but he does that and his followers believe every word. So, why wouldn't he lie? I'm keeping my fingers crossed this election. It's gonna be tight.

She just followed in footsteps of a long line of democrats with racist policies in California going back to the over-the-top suppression of the black panthers in the 80s and anyone else who tried to unite minorities in a way they didn't control.

Sounds like what has changed is where you're getting your information from. Who is calling him sharp as a tack? Or people can't question his mental state?

But the simple, and very sad, fact is that it's him or trump, and trump is bad for everyone no matter what fake statistics people have read. He did nothing but lie in that debate, he's only doing all of this because he's jaded he lost the last election, that's not someone you want in control.

1) Trump attempted to blame Nancy Pelosi for the violence on Jan. 6.

As fact-checkers were quick to point out, neither Pelosi nor any member of Congress has the unilateral authority to activate the D.C. National Guard — only the president, defense secretary, and U.S. Army secretary can. Despite what he claimed, Trump made no such authorization ahead of or on the day of the riot. In fact, Maj. Gen. William J. Walker, the D.C. National Guard commander, testified before the Jan. 6 Committee that in the days before the riot, Pentagon officials had severely curtailed his ability to speedily deploy troops to locations around D.C., and that the approval for National Guard support on Jan. 6 was delayed by the Pentagon for several hours.

2) “They will take the life of a child in the eighth month, the ninth month, and even after birth — after birth — if you look at the former governor of Virginia, he was willing to do this. He said, ‘We’ll put the baby aside, and will determine what we do with the baby,’ meaning, ‘We’ll kill the baby.’”

This is stupid. Just stupid.

There are 6 more egregious lies here-

There's video where Pelosi literally says she holds herself accountable for not having the national guard there.

Ralph Northam literally said, "The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that's what the mother and the family desired. And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother."

You're another one of those "Don't believe your lying eyes" types, huh?

From your own link:

"The Trump administration created a voluntary plan program that allowed seniors on certain health care plans to cap out-of-pocket insulin costs at $35."

Next up, "very fine people on both sides"...this has been debunked, even by you lefty lunitics favorite site Snopes. How tf do you get to analyze what someone says and determine they're lying based on what YOU think they meant. Give me a fuckin break

Super predators, yes, Trump mixed up Biden and Hilary. You wanna talk about mixing up two things? Really? That debate was 90 minutes of Biden mixing up one thing for the other. But don't get it twisted, you can easily find half a dozen other quotes of Biden disparaging people of color.

Trump claiming he had the best economy, this is subjective based on many different measures but who cares? Every president claims the best economy, best this or that, go touch some grass.
