2020 POTUS Debate 1 (29 September) follow-along and discussion thread

Just when you thought you couldn’t be more embarassed to be an American it gets worse.

We’ve found that out like 300 times in the last 4 years.

Telling his people to go watch the polls… Fuck.

Why is Wallace calling Biden VICE PRESIDENT?

Bad things happen in Philly. Bad things.

Trump ends with a massive lie. A jaw dropper.

And it is left alone.

Wallace is using their most recent titles.

Gotta say, Biden now has Trump sounding completely unhinged, far more than Hillary did. I know a lot of you aren’t enjoying this, but I think Biden is doing a helluva job at executing his strategy.

I’m gonna have my voters to come out to the polls and make sure nothing funny is going on. Like black people or democrats voting. Maybe they should bring rifles to make sure everything is on the up and up.

Biden is explaining when he should be calling Trump a LIAR.

Voter intimidation is a crime

Wallace is like, “fuck. Am I glad this is fn over. Where’s my Scotch?”

A note to my friends in other countries:

For 300+ years, we were here for you. Persecuted minorities? We took them in. Civil war refugees? We took them in. Tired, hungry, and poor? We took them in.

You fucking owe me. When this balloon goes up, you better let me in.

Disagree strongly. I didn’t like Hillary but I think she absolutely trounced him at the debates. She was collected, hit hard when it was necessary, talked to the American people when she needed to, and made Trump sound more unhinged. Trump came off as a creepy weirdo against her.

Against Biden, he came off as a bully who successfully kept Biden from making his points. Oh, sure, a neutral person would know Trump came off badly, but Trump has never been held to the standards that literally any other fucking human in history is held.

Hillary did much better. It didn’t matter, but Hillary was clearly better.

Trump started off stronger than Biden. Biden finished stronger. Because he wasn’t a raving lunatic.

Aye; that’s about how I saw it too.

Sure, but the other candidates back in '16 were not fun and exciting, and this time around the Democrats decided that what they needed to counteract this was maximum normality. So here we are.

I’m voting for maximum normality.

Remember him lurking behind her while she spoke?

CNN just called that a shit show. Couldn’t agree more.

A recurring problem.

Out of all of that shitshow, the thing I found most disturbing was Trump’s comment abou Proud Boys, “…stand down and stand by.”

Fucken hell.

Good luck America, you’re going to need it.
