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.

I have never paid much attention to American politics not having lived here before but I did watch this debate last night. The takeaway I got from it was whoever wins I don't think the country is going to get any better and I may want to consider leaving immediately
Neither of them seemed to be able to form really full functioning sentences and at times I wondered if they knew where they were even at.
Joe Biden seemed like his brain was in loading mode the entire debate and Trump can't really seem to ever put a full thought or sentence together. We beat Medicare statement was the one that confused me the most of everything either of them said. -
@Zeref Yeah, that was probably the worst of many on the Biden side. Trump also made quite a few questionable remarks. It also seemed like the debate organizers were using a "mute" button on both candidates for this debate, otherwise I think they would have made far more.

I just can't believe this is the BEST 2 people we have to offer? I think both sides need to reconsider who they are putting up. I agree with @Zeref it's really hard for me to understand what Biden is trying to say some times or if there is a point he is trying to make.
My biggest question has always been why do we always elect people of this age? Not that there is anything wrong with older people but it seems to me someone in their late 40s or early 50s would make better candidates and still have enough prior experience to be able to lead a country. Joe Biden just really does not look that healthy to me anymore and I was admittedly always pro-Biden.
At this point, I don't even know if one is better than the other and I feel embarrassed the world had to witness that. - Show next comments 3 more
