    How is it that the general response to this debate is “Trump rambled nonsensically and told conflicting lies and wants to undermine democracy, but Biden was recovering from a cold, so he’s unfit.”

    Like in what world are these issues comparable?

      Everyone who already knows that Trump is a moron can’t actually develop a lower opinion of him.

      Anyone who doesn’t know that Trump is a moron is too dense to parse anything more complex than a ten-second Fox News soundbite.

      Thus, Biden giving a mediocre performance hurts Biden much more than Trump doing his normal word-salad oral diarrhea hurts Trump.

      It’s not fair or logical, but it’s the way things work at the moment.

      Literally haven’t seen that excuse yet…

      Has he been recovering from a cold the last decade?

        The biggest thing people are complaining about was Biden was a little hoarse against Trump’s booming nonsensical rambling.

        I don’t care if Biden was hoarse. At Trump’s best, he made no sense, and at his worst, he was pushing terrible ideologies

        The point isn’t the “excuse”, it’s the criticism over him not having full power behind his voice during the debate being irrelevant.

        Which is incidentally the only real criticism I could see this morning, beyond people falsely claiming he was incoherent. Which he absolutely was not.

          Oh right, his just going mid-sentence from abortion to illegal immigration is textbook coherency, amirite?

          Like PSA said, “new strategy to pivot from your strongest to your weakest issue!”

          Tell me you didn’t watch the debate without telling me.
