Listening to more of the analysis and clips from the debate, Biden's performance reminded me of high school and college presentations where students over-prepared by following a very rigid, memorized script but derail because they forget a single key word or trigger. This isn't a very robust presentation strategy that can easily fail even with younger minds, let alone someone in their 80s.

MSNBC ran live footage of the Bidens at the post-debate watch party... WHY THE FUCK DID HE NOT SOUND LIKE THAT DURING THE DEBATE?
Hi everyone. I am sick of the culture war. I wish boomers would stop watching the news. Have a nice day

How long is this debate? 90min?
Yup! 90 minutes, so another 1/2 an hour.
This might be good, he pissed off Trump, now Trump is going off on his paranoia. If he keep him in that mode, that might help.
This is just embarrassing. I can't believe Biden is the democratic nominee.
I can't believe these are our choices. We get to pick between quiet and mumbling or loud and belligerent.
No, we’re also choosing who they will be surrounded by in charge of departments. Biden will have sane people in charge, Trump will have Project 2025.
I'll be at work and avoiding the break room. I live in Utah where my options for candidates are usually "Über-Mormon Tr*mp Fascist" or "Obviously Mormon Fiscal Conservative Wealth Gospel Hate the Poor" or "Token Democrat who would shove a homeless person in front of a bus evangelical."
I'll catch the memes afterwards.
Biden really needs a glass of water
They start so well and like they're going to make a solid point and then it devolves into belligerence or mumbling.
“This guy is stupid” is the rebuttal trump uses most.
“Trump admits he suffers from cardiomegaly”
But the DNC said Biden was fine all the time and he wasn't senile
That's because he's not senile. What he is is old and tired, and has a speech impediment.
