During the debate Biden looked like the resident of an old folks home who walked down the wrong hallway and can’t find his way back to the common room.
Everyone who watched the debate saw that. It was a DISASTER for him.
During the debate Biden stuttered a few times(as he has done throughout his life) and misspoke once. Meanwhile Trump rambled incoherently and made up random shit. I don’t think Trump made a single true statement that entire debate.
Are you really telling me that you watch a presidential debate and you don’t even slightly consider what each candidate is saying? I thought people on lemmy would be a little more intelligent than that.
Dont take what I’m saying as me trying to convince you that Biden was a youthful spirit. I’m only pointing out that Trump is a moron who is able to dodge all criticism and even an 80+ year old Biden is still far above him mentally if you listen to his answers.
It’s more about what Biden didn’t say than what he said, and as I pointed out in the megapost at the time, he looked like a lost little boy who walked into the wrong room.
The killer bit was AFTER the debate, the post show, he was energized and articulate, a performance completely missing from the debate itself, which shows the lie of “well, he had a cold, he was tired” etc. etc. He was fine AFTER the debate, where was THAT Biden?
Here’s what I’m talking about specifically, the look of a slack jawed dementia patient.
Why do people hold Biden to such a high standard when the guy next to him is a complete moron. I’m not going to shit on Biden because he didn’t live up to this idea in my head. If he makes a better case than the other guy that’s enough. From the debate I think he walked circles around trump on every single issue.
Debates aren’t entirely about issues, it’s about appearances. We learned that in 1960 with the first televised debate between Kennedy and Nixon. The people who heard it on the radio were convinced Nixon won. The people who watched it on television thought Nixon came across shifty, sweaty, and deceitful, handing it to Kennedy.
Largely because Nixon refused the makeup required for television. Nixon lost the election.
If you appear weak, you are weak, and the inverse is equally true. Trump is /r/confidentlywrong personified, but all the people care about is the confident part, not the wrong part

He lost the debate 12 minutes in.
Then you compare that to the Joe who showed up AFTER:
