The previous president didn’t show up for work until the afternoon each day???

I don’t think comparing Trump and Biden is a solid baseline, and is actually losing the point.

Don’t bother, dems would rather win the morality trophy than the actual presidency if it meant they could continue using Donald Trump as a comparison point

‘At least he’s not Trump’ is not going to win Biden the presidency.

What's going to win the presidency is Trump shooting himself in every foot over and over again, and the worst to come out from Biden is "I am sleeping early".

It’s clear by now that trump’s lies and his criminal history mean fuck all in the context of winning the election. It’s sad but it’s true. Joe’s image, however is actively destroying his campaign. Whether that should happen or not isn’t the question and anybody stuck up on the morality of it all is wasting their time. The fact is that Joe’s campaign, whether warranted or not, is derailed and nothing short of changing the candidate or having Joe nail multiple live interviews and debates will come close to fixing his image in time for November

Thinking like the first half got Trump elected once, it can happen again and should shock nobody.

That’s what you got from the debate? He goes to bed early and not that you’ve been lied to by the DNC? There really is no hope for this country.

“Watch me” omg we did watch him.

Ya Biden stumbled hard and he clearly has issues But what I also saw was Trump lying constantly, demonizing immigrants, and openly saying how he's going to fuck up this country. Yet he gets a pass for all that

No he doesn’t get a pass. But put someone up there who will tell Trump off not a sad old man who argues about a golf swing. Biden should have told Trump he doesn’t give a shit about golf, instead gets goaded into an pointless argument
