Fuck that. Biden should make them regret this decision. If his candidacy is as DOA as everyone is pretending it is, then there's no incentive to play by the rules. Move fast and break stuff and get some shit done for a change.
Also,
They just had to get it in there. Not a mention of Trump making shit up the whole time, or the raving lunatic shit he's saying on the campaign trail. 90 minutes of Biden being low energy and it's all over. "The other guy is too old, maybe we can do a little fascism. That will be OK, right?"
Insane that I have yet to see an article about trump lies during the debate. All I saw was Biben be replace bs articles.
Because Trump lies. It's old news. There was no way that debate was going to play well for Biden. He had nothing to gain. People voting for Trump are voting for Trump, people not voting for Trump are either Voting for Biden or staying home. Biden has to convince people not to stay home, not convince people not to vote for Trump.
The people that vote for Trump are people so sick of the current state of politics they want to burn it all down. Very few actually think he's a great president. He's a troll vote. Biden's performance made more people want to watch the world burn.
Almost every article I saw posted following the debate touched on Trump's falsehoods.
But also, Trump lying is not news. He lied all the way to his 2016 win, and lied decades before that, and still lies now. Absolutely no one new is going to be convinced that he's bad because he lies. If absolutely anyone is thinking of voting of Trump at this point, him lying is not going to be the deciding factor.
I think it should be hammered to death because a person in power should not ever be allowed to get away with lying. I know morality isn't in law, but it should be, IMO. The world is so fucked up in so many ways because no one puts morals in law.
Biden shared this today on social media.
Why did they put an image of Trump overlaying the list? People can't read the full list.
No, not insane. 100% expected. This is the danger of electing an obligate serial liar. We have all been accustomed to his bullshitting. About the size of crowds, about how much money he has, about how fucking oppressed he is, about stolen this and unfair that, etc. No one has the energy to give a fuck anymore. It’s all old news.
I fear the only way out of this is violence.
There were plenty, some paired with Biden's performance, some focused only on fact checking.
Thanks for linking this. Nice to see at least one.
