    I’m completely serious. Biden had a month to prepare for a debate, on friendly ground, with rules his team helped define, and he still got his ass handed to him… by a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist.

    There was no way this was even supposed to be a fair fight and Biden came away looking like a lost little boy.

    It doesn’t matter that Trump lied through the whole thing. Biden looked weak, lost, unprepared, incapable, incompetent.

    That’s not how you win.

      We must have watched different debates, then. I saw one weak but curated personality, and one flawed human being. Maybe both of us are just incapable of seeing past our biases?

            I can’t say who anyone else should vote for, I’ll be voting for whoever the Democrat is, knowing that if it’s Biden, he’ll lose, if it’s Harris, she’ll lose, and if it’s anyone else, they’ll lose too.

              I see. Frankly I can’t live my life with that level of pessimism, because if I adopt that sort of outlook then I’m very likely to sink much deeper into depression, something I’ve struggled with all my life. That sort of thinking genuinely leads me to hopelessness and suicidality.
