It's true thaat it was not a debate. It was two old men yelling and
interrupting one another and the moderator. Trump was crude and rude
and did his usual smart mouth. Biden was too wordy and weak sounding.
But I think if it came down to one or the other "winning" the roses,
it would be Joe Biden.
For my way of thinking, I'd prefer to vote for a third candidate.
Maybe the Democratic Socialist?
As much as I disliked Richard Nixon, he did a far better job of
presenting his positions than either Donald Trump or Joe Biden.
I came away from 90 minutes of name calling, personal attacks,
interrupting, lying, and avoidance, without having learned a single
new piece of information.
My rating?
Dismal!
If these are the best that Corporate America can put up, then instead
of an election, we need a reformation.

I tried to listen to the debate just now, for about 6 minutes. I didn't
start right at the beginning, so the first segment was ending with these
two
old brain damaged men yelling at each other. The next segment started and
Biden could barely give a coherent response to the question about how to
handle Covid. He began hurling accusations at Trump, and he couldn't
really
provide a coherent response. Well, I shut the thing off. I cannot believe
that we have come to this, that the debates have sunk to this level. I
haven't listened to them for years because they're just a show as far as
I'm
concerned, not really debates, and they don't inform me. But never have I
been so ashamed of the candidates, especially the Democratic candidate.
The
fact that the Democrats chose to go with Biden, shows how little respect
they have for their base or for the country. They're saying, even very
smart people whom I respect like Noam Chomsky, that we need to have a
landslide victory for Biden in order to force Trump out of office. I
understand the reasoning, and I know that Trump and the elites who
support
him, are more dangerous than Biden and the elites who support him. And
perhaps if I lived in a swing state, I could vote for Biden and then
spend
the rest of the day vomiting. I understand the numbers thing, but I live
in
New York whose electoral votes will go to Biden regardless of what I do.
If
I couldn't manage to listen to the debate for more than six minutes, I
may
do what I did in 2016 and vote for the Green Party candidate who doesn't
have dimentia, and whose platform is something I can support.
