Oh. My. God.

It’s literally two old-as-fuck fucks arguing about their golf swings. This is literally how the debate is coming to a close. I just… I don’t even know what to say.

Oh, we’re leading into trump word salad. He’s just spooling off stream of consciousness of trump great + Biden bad and he just strings together whatever thoughts pop into his head. That’s all he’s got.

All the post-debate commentary basically says everyone they’re hearing from in the party and undecided voters were like… yeah, we are fucked.

They have even made the point that he’s not technically the nominee until the convention twice so far. I.e., we need a new candidate.

And it CAN’T BE KAMALA.

I guess…

Biden fucked up. But I don’t think this really changes anything.

Nobody is voting for Biden because we like him. We are voting for him because we give a shit about human rights and democracy. And democrats generally are good at actually listening to what is being said because… we want things.

republicans hate biden and are just happy they heard that brown people are killing and raping everyone. Nothing changed there

What Biden needed to do was win over the dumbass moderate/“undecided” voters. Which… is not talking points or policy. It is strongman bullshit. And that… is going to almost be entirely up to The Internet. Do we focus on Biden stuttering and having aphasia that he has had for decades? Or do we focus on trump blatantly lying and still talking about asking Nancy Pelosi to lead an insurrection for him?

John Oliver and the rest of the late night hosts are going to be working overtime to remind the country that having a deranged fascist in charge is bad. The Hasans of the world are going to keep talking about “Genocide Joe” because they are useful idiots, at best. But… I don’t know beyond that.’

That said, I do think about the questionably accurate story that nixon (ugh) won his debate against kennedy (lesser ugh) among radio versus television listeners.

Biden mostly won in terms of text. He lost in terms of audio. But… people live on twitter and social media. How many people are going to be watching clips versus reading excerpts and tweets?

My man Biden needs a drink of water.

Goddamnit Biden is toast

Biden has to bring up Trump killing the border bill for political reasons. That should have been a top 3 talking point.

Good first answer from Biden. Trump starting off with lies about the economy.

MSNBC ran live footage of the Bidens at the post-debate watch party… WHY THE FUCK DID HE NOT SOUND LIKE THAT DURING THE DEBATE?

Dammit joe. Say “you’ve decimated the middle class, and that’s demonstrated by the fact that you can’t even address the question of how you’ll help people struggling to pay for childcare even when you were given two chances.”

This format really, really sucks. None of the answers can actually be thorough.

This abortion response started good… and then he just lost it. My god he’s so fucking old.

Biden got fucking body slammed in this debate. It doesn’t matter that Trump is nonsensical. No one expected him to make sense. Biden just looked weak, confused, and mumbled his way through most of the debate.

I can’t see how this possibly convinced anyone to vote for Biden. But I can definitely see how it probably demoralized democratic voters. This is just so awkward to watch.

Is the stream awful for anyone else? USA Today feed is skipping and going blank.

If Biden is going to be replaced it has to be a huge name like AOC or Bernie. It’s too late to campaign anyone newer
