What even is the point of this debate? They've both had a term in office. We know how both of them actually govern the actual country. What can this debate possibly convey that the past 8 years of governance hasn't?

[–] 555_1@lemmy.world 25 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Whatever the point was, it’s a very sad show. Trump is a liar and Biden can’t string a sentence together.

We’re all fucked.

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 20 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Yep, thats my impression as well so far.

Trump is confidently blazing through (what should be) obvious lies, while Biden is mumbling and forgetting what he is trying to say half way through saying it.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 13 points 4 months ago

Yeah, he's getting blasted by a firehose of bullshit. Though he seems to be getting pissed off, and that seems to be helping.

I dont know why, but moderates keep acting like charisma doesn't matter.

They just keep repeating that money is what matters, because they're good at taking money from people they shouldnt. But they're bad at getting votes, people just don't like them. Partly because of what they do for that money.

Someone down voted you but I can't imagine why. I desperately want Biden to win but he looks like shit out there. Trump, meanwhile, is confidently spouting whatever horseshit pops into his head (even had the fucking gall to call Biden a criminal). Half the government is gleefully destroying the country and the other half is letting them. I honestly don't see a way forward for this country. I don't like to be a cynic but I cannot imagine a scenario where the next four years aren't an absolute clusterfuck.

Best case scenario is both Biden and Trump dropping

[–] 555_1@lemmy.world -5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Best part about hiding votes is I never care what anyone thinks! ;)

The Lemmy App Voyager allows me to hide the visibility of up and down votes. So, I can’t see what the number is… it makes social networking much nicer.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's actually painful to watch.

[–] 555_1@lemmy.world -5 points 4 months ago

Yeah. I had to turn it off. I’ll be surprised if Biden wins after this.
