President Biden brushed off concerns about his debate performance against former President Trump Thursday despite widespread panic among Democrats about how the night played out.

      Oh stop.

      I don’t like Biden, but he’s more connected to reality than the other guy.

      I do admit that I’d rather have a selection of more fit candidates. But either you’re either exaggerating, or drank the GOP koolaid.

          Did you reply to the wrong comment or are you an AI bot? Where did I use the word “win” in my comment?

          Nice strawman.

            Replied wrong, I’ll fix it

            I stand by what I said though: Biden didn’t win.

            Neither did Trump. It was a stupid thing to get into that only created more ammunition- and that’s all it was ever gonna do.

      Lol. Are YOU in touch with reality? Biden at least told facts, while Trump just straight lied and tried not look like he was completely useless (which he is). He did nothing during his time in office, and blames literally everyone else when confronted with that fact.

        It’s not about whether you or I or the person you’re replying to is in touch with reality or not. It matters what the vast majority of the predominantly idiotic swing voters think in this country, and in that context, last night’s showing was not inspiring for the “please let’s not have fascism” team.

        And I am calling swing voters idiots nowadays because with what the parties, candidates, and stakes are these days, you would have to at best be a genuine idiot, and at worst an outright fascist/theocratic fascist to seriously consider voting for Trump.

          That a truth of our time is that the fate of so many rests on these relatively few idiotic swing voters speaks to just how terrible the state of affairs have become.

          As you must know then, the President as a person has little to do with the actual policies being shipped around anyway. The majority of the work in the role is left to the people they surround themselves with.

          Trump has a bunch of racist, classist, and fascist types hell bent on pushing their own agendas and taking us back 80 years to “the good old days”.

          Biden has sensible people working on actual policies and projects that are positively impacting the nation.

          The choice should be fucking absolute and clear, regardless of the debate presence.
