What did you expect? Consistency? Rationality?
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Re: US Election 2020
I'm happy with Biden's performance. Obviously it would be possible to do much better, but he easily defeated Trump here.The latest fad is a poverty social. Every woman must wear calico,
and every man his old clothes. In addition each is fined 25 cents if
he or she does not have a patch on his or her clothing. If these
parties become a regular thing, says an exchange, won't there be
a good chance for newspaper men to shine?

I think he did best when he just smiled as Trump babbled.

Re: US Election 2020
I watched 10 minutes in my tea break. What a shambles. The moderator had lost control and Trump was just rambling. Biden couldn't get a word in edge ways.

Re: US Election 2020
Trump is a disaster. He made that very clear, again. I hope the media will recognize that and avoid calling the debate a disaster etc. It gives the impression that both candidates contributed to a problem that clearly only one of them really has.

Re: US Election 2020
Biden had a straightforward offense and countered effectively. I think that makes him look good. Unfortunately, for many it seems that if one guy is flailing hopelessly that's all they can see.

Re: US Election 2020
The debates won't hurt Trump. As he said, he could shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue...
Look at his approval rating. After almost four years of fucking things up, his approval rating is almost 7 percentage points higher than after almost four years of fucking things up. It is as though an increasing number of US citizens approve of his fuck-ups. His racism, sexism, nepotism and encouragement of fascists are not fuck-ups to them. They love what he is doing, and shit like not paying taxes, riding roughshod over whatever he doesn't like makes him a strong leader. Rightwingers love strong leaders. Trump is their man, regardless of what he does.
I am playing with the idea of cutting my internet connection in the second week of November and turning my garden into a vegetable patch with a chook shed. Maybe buy a pistol and one bullet.

Chooks are small. One bullet will go through the lot. You just have to line them up first.

So I caught a bit of the debate highlights on YouTube. Bit of shitshow wasn't it?
