Trump lied and Biden got tongue tied at the first debate. So why is the world only focusing on one?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Because undecided fucktards are all that matter. And they’ll be swayed by trump’s bullshitting.
Undecideds don't matter, voter suppression matters
Christ do you hear yourself?
"Every vote matters, except for that one, or that one, or that group, and those should just vote with me because I am right."
That's not how it works. There are electoral votes we need, there are votes we need to get those electoral points. You can't just hand wave it all away and call it a different problem to solve.
We have to play the game as it's currently playing out. You can just pull out monopoly money in solitaire to try and bribe the deck into giving you an ace.
We need the votes that Biden does not have and won't get acting like he is.
Fucking take a step back, take a deep breath, and consider for a second if I meant what you think I meant.
The context of the conversation is mainstream media. I'm talking about what matters to mainstream media. I'm critiquing mainstream media.
It sounds more like Biden’s bullshitted facade is falling apart, and he was such trash even Trump looks better.
Fuck off
They don’t understand the more they rally around Biden, the more likely he stays, and the more likely Trump wins.
