“The fact checkers will fix my performance,” says the guy running for president.

Underestimating Trump was the death of Hillary Clinton. This time it could be the death of free and fair elections.

You can always hide the hunt for a replacement as the hunt for VP.

Biden is basically the cryptkeeper, but there’s a good president in there when he’s not losing his train of thought.

Trump was supposed to be weaker, but he’s doing his homework and memorizing answers. His freedom is on the line. Trump has been underestimated, and as things stand, he’s probably going to win.

“You are a child.”

A moment of unscripted honesty.

Biden has to bring up Trump killing the border bill for political reasons. That should have been a top 3 talking point.

His performance has improved tremendously, but the damage may have already been done. I’m wondering how many people kept watching past the first 20 minutes.

Gavin Newsome has been positioning himself to be able to run.

Trump is flailing now. It’s a double sundown debate.

Great answer for Biden on Ukraine and NATO. Hopefully, he’s starting to wake up.

“I don’t think he knows what he said either.”

That was a fucking kill shot.

They lowered expectations for Trump way too much.

And if Biden doesn’t get it together immediately, it’s time to consider a new candidate. This is a disaster so far.

The first generation sexbots are going to attract some serious weirdos.

Although I'm not a huge fan of old guard centrists like Biden, I will admit that he's been a decent president. While not enacting the kind of transformative change we need, he has been effective at making improvements to the law and advancing the interests of the people, in spite of pre-Civil War levels of partinsanship and fighting.

Internationally, he has handled the Ukrainian War pretty well by making the entire endeavor a joint NATO action from the very beginning. He's positioned the US as a member of a powerful alliance, rather than a bully that tries to dictate everything. He should have lifted restrictions on military aide earlier, etc., but mistakes are always going to be made in complex situations. His weakest point is Israel, but looking back I'm not sure what he could have done to stop the war. Netanyahu sees this war as the vehicle for his political survival and refuses to listen to reason. He's advanced a reasonable peace process multiple times and has even gotten Hamas on board (with a lot of help from Egypt, Qatar, and others, of course). In the end, he can't force Netanyahu to do the right thing.

And of course, it has to be said that the alternative is worse across the board on every single issue. We still have a need for the president that Obama looked like he was going to be before taking office, but it just isn't going to happen this time. Please just vote for Biden, especially if you live in a swing state. It's what's best for the country.
