    Idk if this post is against the rules (and if it is I will gladly remove it) but I’ve seen a lot of discussion on the debate but not the video itself. As I watched most of it live, I think that it’s important that people can watch and form their own opinions on the whole thing and not just snippets, memes, or other peoples’ views.

      I watched it live too, it was painful.

      Trump just says what he wants to be true, regardless if it is. But he has always been like that so nothing new.

      Biden looked very tired, while he answered the questions much better than Trump, it was painful to watch him struggle to get the words out sometimes.

      I suspect that many Biden votes will be a vote against Trump, not for Biden.

        Also true in 2020. And frankly, I don’t care what reason people have to stop the dictator as long as we stop the dictator.

          If Biden gets re-elected, and behind the scenes it’s really Kamala Harris and/or Jill Biden in charge… I’m OK with that. Trump will accelerate all the bad things. From climate change to hollowing out the working class to kissing Putin’s ass and worse.

          atrophy against fascism is just as bad as active fascism

          both sides are definitely not the same

          Trump is actively campaigning for fascist views while Biden is a typical Democrat acting like it is a lazy river
