The Debate

[Justin]

Maybe both party should agree to 3min talk than 2min talk.
They both needed more time.

I would agree. For something that's as big a deal as a presidential election, you'd think they'd give them more time. 90 minutes is quite short, and giving 15 seconds for a rebuttal is idiotic.

The current debate format is so stupid I'm surprised anyone watches it at all. When asked what someone's thoughts are on a topic, or how they plan to accomplish something of any level of significance, a 30 second response is insulting more than anything

Believing that left government is different than right government is purely a fabricated mechanism to allow people to sleep at night after they've chosen a side.

100 million people who died under leftist governments during the 20th century would disagree with you. Of course, I don't think the US is there just yet. But if you don't think a Biden (or inevitably a Harris) administration will be different than a Trump administration, you have seriously not been paying attention. The differences between right and left, even in this country, are striking and tangible.

[Irving]

I didn't vote for Trump last time, but am very seriously considering it this time. Only because there does not seem to be any other options that are even remotely viable.

[Bailey Guns]

When was his last negative COVID test in regards to his travel schedule? What's his most recent viral load count? What's the actual cocktail of medications he is receiving? Did he require oxygen therapy? Does he feel like the douche canoe most people think he is for getting sick from a liberal hoax? Remember, the virus was supposed to just drop off in April when it got hot outside according to him.

I think that the idea of the Biden campaign cheating is overblown by people. If you're that worried about it, make sure people from your side are there to watch and make sure there's no assistance. Don't throw a public tantrum just because you don't get everything you wanted when it's your fault that these changes are being made.

You don't deserve, and you're not going to get, that level of detail into any president's medical condition. It's not relevant to your, or my, everyday functioning.

Do you work for the media, by chance? You sound like you'd be a perfect debate moderator. Highly critical of Trump, Biden gets a pass.

Why is it any time Trump complains about something it's a "tantrum" or he's "on the attack" or whatever the platitude of the day is to describe him? When the left does the same thing they're "raising serious questions" or "showing real concern" about the issue. Oh, wait. I know. Because there's a massive double standard in play with regards to Trump and whomever we're talking about on the left.

The next step is to attack anyone who defends Trump as one of his brainwashed minions, uneducated redneck, Trump fan-boy, mindless followers, etc.

Lets just have all the next debates be VP debates anyway. There's a significant chance a lot of people will either be voting for Pence or Kamala as POTUS anyway. I do like Pence... if they dropped the "huuuge" walking mouth off the ticket, I'd be a hell of a Pence supporter.

[Bailey Guns]

Yes, Trump's a blowhard. And he says shit and tweets shit he shouldn't. If that was illegal most of us would be in big trouble. And he's done some stupid shit like the bump-stock ban. But big picture he's been a good president and I can't see how any rational person could even consider Biden over Trump. Especially if you're gonna rant about character.

Having said that, Trump's done more good things for this country in his 3.5-ish years than any president I can recall.

Gotta go with GK on this one. Especially since most people know that the reason it's going virtual is because of his covid diagnosis and lack of transparency about his health since. If he's so worried about Biden cheating, then maybe his side should prep to do the same thing.

He's tested negative multiple times now apparently. The Trump campaign is demanding they still do both the 2nd and 3rd debates in person, just a bit later. And that's a FAIR request. A virtual debate is not a fair request.

Virtual debate because Covid, then place opposition observers in the same room. ROFL.

Exactly what I thought.
