I would watch this over any sporting event.
Can we please have a civil discussion about the debate.
I believe these will be some hot button topics.
Illegal Immigration
Taxes
Economy-Cost of Living
Abortion
What are you most excited about?
Lets discuss
excited? there's nothing about this that i find exciting. not even sure i'll bother watching it, but i may click over a little. i am kinda curious to see how trump has been coached to react when biden mentions that he's a convicted felon. i kinda hope he tries the "biden crime family" bullshit and joe pivots to all the other indictments trump is currently facing while the republicans have been trying to dig up dirt on biden since 2015 without a single thing to show for it.
immigration - this has been an issue for years and, sadly, neither party is really all that interested in trying to fix it. it's a clusterfuck with no simple solution, so they just keep kicking the can down the road, while using the topic to fire people up.
taxes - what about them? nobody likes them, but they're part of living in a society. you like schools and paved roads, don't you? republicans only seem to believe in lowering taxes when democrats are in charge. sure, it would be awesome if the HUGE bureaucracy that is our government ran a lot more efficiently but, again, neither party has any real interest in fixing that.
economy - funny, it seems that everyone posting here agrees that they are doing just fine and their 401(k) is doing INCREDIBLE, but apparently everybody else is struggling. i don't remember the #s, but a survey a few months ago showed that the majority of americans say they are doing fine but most people are struggling. it's a big myth. are lots of americans struggling financially? of course. but it's nowhere near as bad as you think. and maybe the best solution, that's finally starting to get SOME traction... making some sort of financial literacy course a requirement to graduate high school.
abortion? seriously? most americans think it should be legal, ESPECIALLY in the case of rape or incest. what is there to even debate? a slim minority of americans got their wish with a very "conservative" supreme court and abortion is no longer federally protected. it's fucking insane that a handful of people are actually taking us BACKWARDS.
so, really, what is there to debate on any of those topics? biden had a bipartisan agreement on immigration that may have helped a little, until trump told congressional republicans to put a stop to it. trump has already proven that any real tax cuts will be for the wealthy. the economy is insanely better under biden than it was under trump and 0 Fortune 500 CEOs are going to vote for trump because they know what a disaster another 4 years would be.
will biden make a couple gaffes tonight? of course he will. he's done that his entire life. will trump act like a deranged lunatic with no grasp of basic facts? of course he will. the fact that his mic will be turned off when it's not his turn to speak will be a big benefit to him.
but let's face it... trump could come out and say his priority for the next 4 years is to fuck everybody's mother, and every single one of you magas would still vote for him. he could announce putin as his vice president, and you'd still vote for him. he could come out in a dress, and every single one of you would suddenly be absolutely fine with drag queens.
