Thirty minutes into the presidential debate, I’ve heard from three veteran Democratic presidential campaign officials, and all of them had the same reaction to President Biden’s performance: This is a disaster. It wasn’t just that Biden wasn’t landing a glove on Donald Trump on the economy, the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Covid, taxes, temperament or anything else that was coming up in the questioning. It was Biden’s voice (low and weak) and facial expression (frozen, mouth open, few smirks) with answers that were rambling or vague or ended in confusion. He gave remarks about health care and abortion that didn’t make a strong point, giving Trump a chance to say lines like, “I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don’t think he knows what he said, either.” One of the Democrats said Biden looked scared. Another said it was an “emperor has no clothes” performance so far. The third said of the performance overall, “Don’t ask.” Trump lied repeatedly during the debate about the pandemic, immigration and Roe v. Wade, but Biden didn’t hold him accountable for those lies in a memorable way. At times, Trump attacked Biden, but the president didn’t fight back. Frank Luntz, a veteran focus group moderator who was holding a live focus group during the debate, wrote of their reactions so far: “The group is so bothered by Biden’s voice and appearance. But they’re getting madder and madder with Trump’s personal attacks.” “If Trump talks less,” Luntz said, “he wins. If Biden doesn’t stop talking, he loses.”

All the Democrat fucks who thought Biden was going to save them, who went all in on genocide because Biden was going to save them, who have been screaming at everyone and everyone that Biden is going to save them, this was their god. This was their champion. Fucking pathetic.

Been thinking the same as I watch everyone around me having aneurysms about the debate

This was your god? This was Dark Brandon the Chosen One? This is the best you got?

Tonight we saw their God metaphorically bleed from his eye once again.

Dark Brandon was originally funny because the actual Biden was completely spineless compared to the reactionary strawman of him.
The entire joke was that he's a human bowl of oatmeal and therefore completely unable to even approach this type of behavior, unless it was something about Anita Hill or school busing.
Then the dems appropriated it and ruined it.
