This whole night was so many layers of exhausting, but probably not for the reasons you think... No rational, serious person was expecting Biden to Willy Wonka front somersault into this debate? it was going to be what this was, the only true surprise was probably the volume of his voice (which they chalk up to a cold, okay fine, I guess) and actually how well he did quickly processing and responding to trump's gish gallop and unchecked stream of consciousness mistruth firehose with little help from the impotent moderators for the majority of the night.
The people in this country, in their immediate reaction to this debate, demonstrate that they just fundamentally lack the focus, empathv and frankly basic intelligence to process the substance of this or any debate. On average, we respond solely to voice pitch, tonality, body language and facial expressions, like a still developing toddler... Or a dog.
Volume is a minor issue, the problem was the half finished thoughts and odd transitions between them.
It's called watching the clock and getting flustered trying to not run over time.
It's always fun when people suddenly forget that Biden has a stutter. I'm not even 40 and, perfectly healthy, sometimes can't finish a fucking sentence and just move on to the next point. The only reason people don't say I have dementia is because I don't look old enough to hurl the accusation.
How many stuttering acting presidents do you remember?
Also Biden isn't just having a stutter. It was clear he lost his train of thought multiple times, like destroying medicaid, constantly mixing thousands, millions, billions and trillions or his talk about abortion trimesters.
This sounded like they gave him elaborate sentences to remember beforehand and he butchered them all, because of not learning them by heart and not fully grasping what they actually mean.
Meanwhile Trump was just doing Trump and Biden came wholly unprepared for that. Repeating what Trump said with "the idea that ... is ridiculous" is just repeating what he said, further giving it agency. How could they be unprepared for Trump being Trump after 8 years of him already?
Sounds like you've never socialized with others who have a stutter. Instead of understanding how different mental/physical impairments affect people, you'd rather just make assumptions and baseless claims that confirm your own biases. Biden's stutter is a well documented ailment that has affected him, in similar ways, for a long time - we just got to see it when he was clearly under the weather.
You can factually disagree with Biden's policies, but to create this elaborate scenario out of whole cloth and purposely ignore Trump's own verbal missteps just tells all of us all we need to know about why you commented.
