    the media made him lose the debate, not his performance against someone who did worse.

    I think you are missing how others are critical of Biden’s performance. This debate and election season was a repeat, absolutely nothing new. It was never going to move huge swaths from one side to the other.

    Biden lost to himself, not to Trump. That doesn’t mean Trump’s performance was good. That absolutely was the biggest story coming out of the debate as that was something different from this rerun of an election.

      Right, it was terrible and yet it wasn’t called that. No one talked about how pathetic he was. Happened in the previous debates too. The best way to show you have nothing to argue is constantly interrupt others. He did that and got away with it virtually Scot free. In fact it was absolutely shocking how many people equated their performance. “Yeah they both interrupted each other”

      As if Biden interrupting three times remotely compared to the more than 50 times that trump did it.

        There was plenty of commentary about Trump but it was drowned out because Biden’s poor performance was different and new making it the trending and newsworthy story.

          You realize that is exactly my point, right? Any critical coverage of the right winger was useless. Happens time and again

            You realize criticism of the Democrats is exactly how we push them to change though right? Whatever stupid shit Trump or Republicans do does not absolve Biden or Democrats of criticism.

              I never ever said that criticism was bad. I said that it dominates to the point of silencing criticism of trump. This pushes the entire country to the right and that is bad. Binary thinking is not helpful.
