Ok, I decided to watch it and torture myself. And the pre-debate commentary is exactly the kind of Beltway gossip/horserace BS that has dominated US politics for decades why am I subjecting myself to this bougie shit someone give me a history of strikes or something https://twitter.com/tanchunkiet/status/1311065641068032000

I guess thus begins my live-tweeting thread of the debate

Wait Chris Wallace is the moderator???? Time for people to stop pretending that a Fox News host can be an unbiased mod

First question is about the Supreme Court

Notre Dame is apparently a liberal place

Ok glad Biden mentioned that Trump wants to kill the ACA, that'd good election strategy cuz people fear losing healthcare

Biden you don't have to say that Barrett is a good person!!!!

Why are they letting Trump speak rn???

This is such a waste of time Trump is already calling Biden a socialist wtf

How is this real Trump is just talking over Biden and Biden isn't doing a damn thing to fight it, and Wallace isn't doing enough to make sure Biden gets a chance to speak I fucking hate this, this is what happens when you get a conservative moderator

Lmao Trump fighting with Wallace about the question

"Govt takeover of healthcare" Biden should just own the idea of Medicare for All instead of trying to defend his public/private option chimaera

Jfc this debate is going to make Trump look so good to the avg voter cuz even tho many of us think he sounds deranged with all those interruptions, to other people it will sound like he's very passionate, and Biden/"the media" are trying to silence him

Also why I hate debates, Trump has been lying nonstop ever since the beginning, and Biden mostly telling the truth, but who's gonna know the difference? It's all performative bs

Jfc this is so painful to watch, so much talking over each other, I'm sure nobody is going to take away anything about policy or shit. Why do election cycles revolve around these things fuck electoral politics

Ok great Biden is talking about how Trump lied about the pandemic and had an awful response good good I like

This is such bs I hate how well Trump is hammering in his lies, like they're 100% lies, but it's all delivered in such a great way that pushes his narrative of the evil Dems and fake news media

Biden you can't fight a fascist liar by being a nice relatable guy fight back harder!!!

Trump is wiping the floor with Biden and he's doing it just by lying, this was all so predictable

Biden isn't pushing Trump nearly enough, what happened to the guy who completely destroyed Palin and Ryan

Yes hammer in the number of people who died in the pandemic!! Please more of that Biden!!

Don't let Trump interrupt you Biden, just keep talking!!

I hate this why am I even watching this

I wish Harris was debating Trump, she'd know how to crush him correctly

Even tho she's a cop and we don't stan

Ok Biden is doing a good job of saying why there should be lockdowns, I approve

Trump is panicking a bit about him not paying taxes haha

I hate this the post 2008 recession argument only works for Trump bc Obama's stimulus package wasn't nearly enough to help the economy recover

"trade deficit with China" man Sinophobia race to the bottom

Not Hunter Biden being brought up again, Hunter is this election's emails

This is like seeing two kids fight wtf

Good talking about how Trump teargassed the protest outside the White House

And ofc Trump is calling out Biden for the crime bill, ofc it's hypocritical, but this shit works

Lmao Trump acting like Seattle is run by the "radical left" instead of a performative lib Dem who is more than happy to gas her own people

BIDEN STOP DEFENDING COPS MOST OF THEM ARE HAPPY TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO GEORGE FLOYD AND BREONNA TAYLOR

Trump talking about racism is when he goes full-on fascist "teaching people to hate our country, have to go back to our core values"

Fuck "law and order"

Biden saying suburbs by and large integrated???? Wtf???

Defending "the suburbs" is yet another race to the bottom with this racist shit

Biden said he's against defunding the police fuck this shit

No justice no peace abolish the police

Both of them are horrid when it comes to stances on the BLM protests, but esp Wallace by stating as fact that the protests turned "violent" and "into riots" fuck this shit

So Wallace is saying Biden should have brought in the National Guard to crush the Portland protests??? Fuck you Wallace, you're already fascist enough

Wallace calling Antifa a "left-wing extremist group" hahahahahahhahahhahahahaha

Fuck both Trump and Biden

Trump talking about Obama being a bad president for not filling judge positions that the Republican Senate blocked Obama from filling

This is such a shitshow, a lot of what Biden said is good/right, but all of it would've been better coming from someone else. Like Bernie

I'm not the world's biggest Bernie fan, but he would've crushed this debate

Wow a question about climate change, something that never came up once last election cycle

Making climate change a question of belief fuck this shit

This debate is making me dumber

Idk if there's one takeaway from this, it's that electoral politics won't save us from fascism

Biden being like "the Green New Deal is not my plan" lmao why doesn't this guy want to take a stronger stance on anything

"I don't support the Green New Deal" = "I don't support defunding the police"

Wow we've actually come to the point that election integrity is an actual debate question

This thread itself is prob a lot of garbage cuz at this point I'm not even paying attention fully

Lmao I hate everything about this
