    Its that old thought experiment:

    You run into two presidents one cannot tell the truth and will mostly only respond to comments about himself while the other often mumbles incoherently but occasionally says “the idea, you’d lie about this”

    You need to know how fuck to get out of here. There is no exit.

            Well Anyways. Back from fantasy land, I have decided to vote for the old man that can actually answer what is asked. Unlike a petty 4 year old with a worse comb over (didn’t think that was possible) and STILL CANNOT ADMIT HE WAS CONVICTED OF A CRIME. He has no respect for the system he is applying to be in charge of and thinks no one can see through the bullshit.

    Trump was doing most of the deceitful lying and yelling. Biden was very level headed, factual, and backed up his points.

      Can’t blame you for putting on a positive spin, but that’s not how a lot of people viewed Biden.

    The last like 10 years have been useless as far as debates go.

    Just watch WWE if you want to see a fake wrestling match. These “debates” have been absolutely pathetic and show the world just how fucking stupid we are.

      People talk about these debates as if they are a thing you can “win.” Once upon a time they might have been, but who in the nation didn’t know who they were voting for in this election 4 years ago?

      The moderator asks a question, the candidate doesn’t answer it, his opponent slings mud, the audience claps, nothing is achieved.

      The Obama era debates were the last decent debates. He was able to give thoughtful nuanced answers, while still holding people’s attention and remaining concise. Not many people have that skill.

      That said, those Biden - Palin debates have some similarities to the Trump - Biden debates. Once again, Biden is debating a loud, confident, fascist, moron. And once again, we’re hoping he doesn’t produce a gaffe that makes him the center of attention.

      We are really stupid. The rest of the world is pretty stupid too, but we’re putting it out there in big, bright neon lights.

    The fate of our future is in the hands of two old dudes.

    One wearing diaper and smells like shit. The other is a happy grandpa who is trying his best.

    Imagine if this was a action movie and these were the protagonists.

      Imagine if this was a action movie and these were the protagonists.

      So I’m right there with you lamenting that we ended up with these two as the only likely choices, but I don’t know if I would want “action movie protagonist” as the metric for what would make a “good” president.

      • Seriously, isn’t there like a dozen movies like this?

        One of them is clearly the bad guy. Like, I don’t fucking care that the guy who can organize the monied liberal elites to get enough support to actually beat Trump is old.

        Biden does like six events a day. Constantly on the phone with world leaders, cabinet leaders. Check the calendar. Check the readouts. Every time he goes somewhere he takes questions. Gaggles all the time.

        The claims that he is infirm or unfocused are meritless. His brain has always been way faster than his mouth. Trump has always been the opposite, and his brain is even slower now, obviously.
