[6/27] The Old vs. The Dirty b*stard... Debate Again; Biden vs. Trump in Atlanta, GA - CNN at 9PM EST

Not sure if I want to watch, My Dad wants me to come and watch at his house

Was telling him how when I first started watching the debates around 2011/2012, to get into politics, it felt entertaining, but also like I was learning something. Maybe it's just age, maybe I did learn what I needed to, but it feels different in 2024. It's all like a spectacle for consumers. Will this really move the needle on the race? or is this just a ratings/commentary/political class exercise?

but the consumers are not really the voting public at large. Most of the people I know, will never watch the debates. They will see clips. which is another dangerous kind of thing. They don't even know where to watch the debate.

and if they DID watch, is it really a good thing if one liners and punch lines would cause someone to switch votes?

primary debates are somewhat worthy to watch, but general election debates not so much..... if you're a vegan and you're choosing between two restaurants, the 5 star steakhouse or the 3 star vegan joint, you're going to the 3 star vegan joint.... and vice versa....

some of us are watching this debate for the entertainment value..... and some of us are just hoping biden doesn't have a mcconnell moment during the debate

i'm trying to think what biden's best rebuttals are, to what trump is gonna hit him on

-inflation? "i inherited a disaster. donald trump's failure totally destroyed the supply chain"

-afghanistan? "we shouldn't have still been there in 2021. i had to finish what donald trump had 4 years to do, and failed to"

-the border? i've got nothing good luck on that one, joe

All you can really hope for is that Biden sounds a little energized and Trump goes off the rails with his outlandish statements. Biden's campaign strategy in this should be "don't do too much" and allow Trump to kill himself...

Then I realized my weather was still set for Oregon.

If Biden screws this up he may as well drop out in all honesty.
