      At this point what I think is happening is Joe has one of those old age bugs except this one specifically makes the brain to mouth communication issues that come with a stutter a lot worse.

      Because communication seems to always be this guy’s biggest stumbling block, if this were just a report card comparison there wouldn’t be a race, he’s obviously still a competent guy as old as he is, the problem is that something’s going on that makes it way harder for him to adequately communicate that whenever he needs to.

      That’s really the only way I can self reason why he then proceeded to be completely fine in the much lower pressure environment of his after debate rally.

      Edit: report card not credit card, although personally I’m willing to bet that Joe’s credit score is way better than Donny’s too

        I don’t even need Biden to be competent. Just surround himself with a competent cabinet. Which he has, and is why we’ve gotten so many wins and why Trump did so horribly in his first term.

        Yeah, good thing all that matters for a president is the ability to have good ideas, and there is no need to be able to convey these ideas to other humans.

      I only got to see the closing statements. Biden looked worn down. Unconfident. Soft spoken. I could barely understand what he was saying and I had to turn on closed captioning.

      Then Trump starts talking…and it’s all bullshit, but God if he doesn’t sound good spewing it.

      America is fucked. The world is fucked. We’re all gonna die. Buckle in.

      People will memory hole it IF Biden does better in the future. The last thing that happened is always the only thing that matters in US elections.

      They’ll tell us that Joe did great, and that anyone thinking otherwise is being subliminally influenced by Russian propaganda.

        He had a decent performance. I understand more about his policies and called trump a felon and a fat loser. That’s what I wanted out of it. Trump literally could not answer half of the questions because he was still rambling about the previous question.

        Biden had a hoarse throat from a cold and a bit of a stutter but he turned on a dime when he was asked different questions. Both dudes are old af. The choice is: do you want senile grandpa who can’t answer the question or the guy who has a soft voice?

        Biden’s clearly still with it but slower, and trump is clearly still nuts, possibly moreso. I choose Biden because he’s the only one who occasionally says things that make sense.
