I hereby apologize to the rest of the world for the sorry state of US politics. I've tried my best. I have not voted for either the Dumbos or the Repugs for the last several decade now but I live in a republic and there's not much more I can do. Trying to vote rationally in the US is a lot like swimming against a tide of rabid lemmings determined to be the first over the edge.
Two takeaways from the "debate" from my point of view...- First, unless they really, really, really want Trump to win, the Deez need to find a new candidate immediately. At this point even they realize that. Probably. Of course knowing them they'll probably pick Clinton again.
- All Trump really needed to do for the win was to keep his mouth shut and let Biden speak whatever was on his mind. Amazingly, he actually managed to do it. (For the most part.) WTF?? Maybe he's had a lot of practice holding back in court recently and that has carried over into his political speaking in public outside the courtroom. Maybe the age of miracles is not over. Whatever. I still think he's beyond hope as a human being but after last night I'll allow that there's a real chance he could be reincarnated as a cicada instead of a bedbug in the next life.
Not that I'm endorsing either camp, just to be perfectly clear. Overall the "debate" didn't change my views on either the parties or the candidates. If anything the opposite in fact. I was sure going in that there was nothing good that would come of the event and it did not fail to fail to be something the nation could be proud of. At this point even if you held a gun to my head I'd pick the guy with the boot on his head over either of the candidates on stage last night. The most succinct post-commentary remark that I've seen online so far was: "The winner of yesterday's presidential debate was the Voyager probe, currently in interstellar space and headed away from Earth at 17 miles per second." I wholeheartedly agree. Personally I'm still hoping the Starship works out. And the sooner the better.

Looking across from the other side of the pond I agree with @Sakura in having trouble believing that Trump and Biden are the best candidates that America has to offer for its top job. But then again I have the same problem with the candidates for the job of Prime Minister in our election this week. But at least both are under state retirement age.

@Animedragon & @Sakura I'm absolutely sure that these are NOT the best candidates for office. No question in my mind. Going by the Constitution there are literally hundreds of millions of qualified candidates in the country. Two of them have GOT to be better that the ones the parties have picked for us to choose from. That's why I say at every opportunity that both the Democrat and the Republican parties are utter failures, and have been for years now.
Not that anyone listens. I'm sure I'll be throwing my vote away again at the next vote but at least I can claim it isn't my fault.
Looks like I'll be breaking out my "Jack" sticker again...

I think a lot of people here in the UK won't bother to vote on Thursday, and I can't really blame them. Years ago at General Elections the three main parties told us all the good things they'd do for us if we voted for them, nowadays their message is more along the lines of telling us all the bad things that will happen to us if we don't vote for them.
It seems that the choice is no longer to vote for the party we think best, but to vote for the one we think is the least worse.
