Here we go.

Tuned in slightly late, was not expecting to catch such an animated and angry Joey B in the middle of a response.

Nut.

Biden is really angry tonight

Biden is really angry tonight

Not going to have the chance to watch, but that does my heart good to hear. Debate season is exactly when he needs to muster the rage that enabled him to make Paul Ryan his bitch.

Does anyone have a link to a livestream?

If this is a precursor for how the debates are going to turn, Trump needs to worry big time because he's going to be wiped out.

[American2020]

It's a great preparation for the 3 debates with Trump.

I really find it hard to believe that there are people refusing to work just because they are getting $600 in unemployment. That isn't even enough to cover all your bills and besides if your job is available you can't refuse to go back to it and still receive benefits.

Based on this performance, Joe Biden is going to destroy Donald Trump in the debates.

I'm impressed by his passion so far.

[DaleCooper]

Biden's response to Trump's "downplay" comments were really heated and intense. I think Trump is going to really struggle in these debates.

[GeneralMacArthur]

Boy these are some tough questions.  Biden has been a little harebrained in the responses I've seen so far -- he starts off responding to the question, but then keeps getting distracted and going off on tangents.  It's not as bad as in the primary debates but it's kind of annoying.

He looks and sounds good though.  Very passionate, very angry, very empathetic.  This is also kind of a cool format, him standing out here in the middle of the night talking to people face to face.  It's very authentic-looking.

[CellarDoor]

This shouldn't surprise us. Biden has been consistently good in this format. He is an extrovert. He gets his energy from talking with regular folks.

Yeah. I've been waiting for it all season, but this, at last, is the man who ended Paul Ryan's credibility for the rest of that poor bastard's political career.

Something something Biden has dementia

He does look really good tonight, and his answers have been mostly good, only bad because he’s getting distracted occasionally.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

He'll be fine in the debates.

[Lief 🗽]

Wow, incredible answer on the privilege question.

[Rand]

Wow, incredible answer on the privilege question.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

IMO, Biden is doing ok, he blundered a bit early on and rambled a bit, but he got his footing.

[ultraviolet]

Absolutely perfect answer on the fracking question. Saying he 100% supports it, but only as a transition to renewables, and lays out his plans for net zero emissions by 2050.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

I feel like these audience members don't actually listen to what Biden says lmfao
