    But I was told that all Biden’s answers were completely incoherent? You’re telling me that the media is making a big deal out of a few moments in the debate?! That’s never happened before!

      No man it was legitimately bad. Biden did horrible. I’m terrified that we’re gonna see a significant slip in the polls after that disaster.

      I’m a staunch Bernie Sanders supporter. I have worked for his team.

      I don’t know how else to say this: Joe Biden’s performance last night was a caricature of every negative stereotype the opposition throws at him.

      I’m really disheartened that my fellow Democrats don’t see the glaring issues from the debate. Did you watch it? This question might seem inflammatory, but I am genuinely concerned.

      I desperately wanted Trump to be frustrated by having his mic muted, but I never expected Biden to become the caricature the GOP was hoping for. Unfortunately, that’s what happened.

      Ignoring what just happened is dangerous. It’s this kind of blind dissent that got us Trump in the first place. We’re in trouble. If we ignore it now and end up with Trump again, the blame will be on those who are ignoring the problem right now.

        I was reminded of all the ageist insults that Clinton supporters said about Sanders when he was a spry young 75.

        We’re basically hooped unless Joe decides to throw in the towel. Just about anyone not psychotic half his age could very easily beat trump. How do we get there?

          My main concern is that many fellow Democrats aren’t seeing the issues with Biden’s performance. This blind spot is dangerous and reminiscent of how we got Trump in the first place. Ignoring these glaring issues won’t help us move forward. We need to recognize and address these problems now.

            At the end of the day, I trust the people around Joe to, at the very least, not maliciously fuck over the country. Can’t say the same about Trump.

            With these two choices, I’ll go for not fucking over the country thank you.

              Do you have any real ideas…

              Sorry, where did I say I was here to solve a problem?

              Just pointing it out. Cheers.
