Biden looked terrible, and he sounded terrible. Trump lied about 99% of the time. Biden told us what he did for ALL Americans and there is more to come. Trump admitted he cut taxes for the wealthy and destroyed environmental regulations. As a voter, you are voting for the candidate and their administration. The choice in 2024 is, A. Things get better for our Democracy, or B. We install a dictator and voting ends forever. They are not both the same, and NOT voting, or 3rd party voting, helps the weaker candidate win.

I'm voting for the candidate that has been making life for ALL citizens better, that's the job of the President.

This run down fits with what I saw but biden was better by the end if not great. Trump did a good job though of looking better in a beauty pageant aint nobody want to be a contestant in.

[–] Fades@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Great, no. Better, undoubtedly.

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 4 points 4 months ago

yeah I should have used but not great not if.

It's so painful to watch Biden attempt to recall accurate information, while watching Trump effortlessly lie.

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 53 points 4 months ago (4 children)

This is probably the worst Biden has ever sounded, and it was largely because he was trying to remember and repeat everything he could.

Meanwhile Trump just says whatever comes to mind.

Also, what was up with those muffled mics? You could hear it in Trump's mic too until he started getting louder.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

Before the debate they said Biden had had a cold as well.

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

I didn't notice the muffled mics, but I agree with you on all accounts otherwise

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 6 points 4 months ago

At one point trump was talking forever. you could see even he was not sure what else to say but he kept plugging along. I was like. isn't his time up? aren't they supposed to mute the mics?

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The mics were turned off when it wasn't their turn.

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago (2 children)

No, I mean both candidates sounded softer than normal. Like the sound was a bit muffled. It was most noticeable at the very beginning before they started talking louder.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago

Sounds like a noise suppression issue. Probably just a fuck up by the techs.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Interesting, I didn't notice anything like that. Maybe they screwed up the audio.

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 17 points 4 months ago

its easier to make stuff up than remember details that need to be accurate.

As I'm watching it, Mozart's Requiem in D minor is playing in my head.

[–] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

When Biden seemed lost at the beginning, it was the Introitus.

When they were arguing about golf, it was the Confutatis.

When they were both responding to how to help Americans with addiction by talking about restricting fentanyl coming into the country, it was the Dies Irae.

The entire thing was underlined by the Lacrimosa.

The closing statements, the Kyrie. Lord have mercy.

Edit: (Obviously these are not in performance order.)

And russian trolls do their best ... or worst right now. And chinese leaders wait and smile.

[–] pigup@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago (8 children)

Still voting for Biden. He maybe senile but his heart appears to be in the right place. It's all I got to work with. 🤷‍♂️

It's no conspiracy that Trump dodged almost every question.

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

This article was published 14.5 hours before the debate

[–] dogslayeggs@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

It was a legitimately bad performance from Biden. Every media outlet is reporting how bad it was.

Even if the overall debate wasn't that bad from him, his few moments of mumbling gibberish will overshadow everything else. Trump rightly pointed out at one point he couldn't understand anything Biden was saying to try counterpointing it.

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 4 months ago

Event happens.

Internet floods with conspiracies about Event.

News reports that there are conspiracies about Event.

Rinse and repeat. "Event" can be virtually anything of public note.

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago (6 children)

just dump them both and their first replacements in a black hole and things will potentially improve.
