It’s not about whether you or I or the person you’re replying to is in touch with reality or not. It matters what the vast majority of the predominantly idiotic swing voters think in this country, and in that context, last night’s showing was not inspiring for the “please let’s not have fascism” team.
And I am calling swing voters idiots nowadays because with what the parties, candidates, and stakes are these days, you would have to at best be a genuine idiot, and at worst an outright fascist/theocratic fascist to seriously consider voting for Trump.
That a truth of our time is that the fate of so many rests on these relatively few idiotic swing voters speaks to just how terrible the state of affairs have become.
As you must know then, the President as a person has little to do with the actual policies being shipped around anyway. The majority of the work in the role is left to the people they surround themselves with.
Trump has a bunch of racist, classist, and fascist types hell bent on pushing their own agendas and taking us back 80 years to “the good old days”.
Biden has sensible people working on actual policies and projects that are positively impacting the nation.
The choice should be fucking absolute and clear, regardless of the debate presence.
But the swing voters the person you were replying to is referring to, mostly think that President is basically king.
It’s the low information voters that are the problem, and you guys trying to spin it like this isn’t a big deal isn’t going to help the situation.
The DNC needs to find a different horse. Biden needs to retire and go enjoy that golf he was talking about last night
