I love how there were people on this forum, who follow politics religiously, who somehow still thought Trump would do well tonight.

2016 PTSD.

But even then, he never did well in the debates!

Trump does poorly in the debate: "Debates don't matter, Trump will still win"
Trump does less poorly than expected: "Trump will win the debate, the debate means everything"

This debate started mostly civil and easy to watch.  It’s become more similar to the first debate now with Trump getting more unhinged.

Trump is abysmal on the Minimum Wage issue - I've heard some 16-year-old AnCaps on Discord make stronger arguments for no minimum wage.

Wow, I can't believe we nominated a cold-hearted neoliberal shill like Joe Biden.

Thank goodness Mister Trump is standing for hardworking (checks notes) business owners whose profit margins would be hurt by higher minimum wages.

Biden is crushing this debate. He's sharp, focused, and tough. Trump's message is atrocious. This debate isn't going to do him any favors.

Yeah but the right-wing media echochamber is going to push the narrative: "trump looked presidential. trump hit Biden on China, Ukraine and Russia." Those will be the headlines on Fox News, and people who only consume that media will read that, hear that, and feed off that.

Recommend this post if you think Trump thinks actual coyotes brought Mexican children here, presumably by carrying them in their teeth by their shirt collars.

Officially change my Biden vote from "against Trump" to "for Biden" because I've been waiting YEARS for somebody to call Republicans out on this.

Joe is fired up! Got to love it!

Also absolutely love hearing Donald Trump the populist attacking the minimum wage and family separation policy

Bold of Trump to go against raising the federal minimum wage.

He could've made a decent argument there. Biden said that raising the minimum wage doesn't cause businesses to go under, but Trump could've pointed out that it does encourage businesses to automate those jobs.

Of course, he did not-- because he is an idiot and doesn't even understand the basic arguments for the positions he claims to take.

Fox news and right wing media always prop up Trump, why would this make any difference?

Finally talking about immigration and the human rights atrocities perpetrated by Trumpism!  This has been by far the most unjustly ignored issue of the campaign.

"I'll be President of the United States, not Vice President."

Did Biden just criticize Obama and disavow something the Obama-Biden administration did?

That last sections had me in tears of anger, maybe because I've drunk too much. But Trump talking about how the kids separated from their parents are being very well taken care of is just evil.
