    I don’t know why people are looking at both of their performances at a debate when people can look at their performances as presidents.

    It’s honestly infuriating how everyone is struck on that like it means anything. All presidential debates gave always been awful. This is no exception and this time we have an alternative POV.

      People probably are looking at their performances as president.

      The polls have barely budged since the debate. That tells you people aren’t really using debates to decide who to vote for.

      I think Biden would make a pretty passable president because he’d be surrounded by a competent cabinet… but my opinion doesn’t determine the president (otherwise, we’d be on like year 16 of a Sanders administration).

      His debate performance was weak enough that I’m concerned Biden won’t beat Trump. Trump absolutely cannot win this election or any future one, he must be kept out of office. My concern isn’t about Biden’s performance once in office, it’s about Biden’s ability to gain the office.

      Honestly, I’m not going to give Biden a 10/10, but his last administration was pretty solid, like 7/10 level. He reacted extremely poorly to Gaza and has been underwhelming on labor but he’s gotten a lot of good shit done.

        Anthony Blinken is the worst secretary of state in my lifetime.

        He is so incompetent that William Burns, the head of the CIA has been traveling all over the world for negotiations. Because Blinken is so bad, and not respected internationally.

        Biden’s foreign policy has been an absolute disaster. Aided, in part, by his choice of an incompetent cabinet.

        So, I guess what I’m saying is I’d like some of what you’re smoking. It seems like it is really really good for denial.

      Look at the names saying Biden should drop out because of this. It’s the same people in every thread. It looks coordinated.
