President Joe Biden’s dismal showing at the CNN presidential debate against former President Donald Trump resonated around the world, with foreign diplomats expressing shock and concern while raising questions about the implications for a consequential US election that could upend the foreign policy status-quo should Trump be reelected.

      I am buoyed by the unanimity of the downvotes

      I actually think it’s 100% true that Biden did a shitty job at the debate, exposing in painfully vivid fashion some flaws we already knew he had. On the other hand, so did Trump. And it’s weird that one side of that equation is getting such a shriekingly loud level of coverage and the other side is getting more or less nothing.

      The couple of polls on 538 since the debate apparently show not much change in people’s sentiment (certainly not any kind of catastrophe that the news is trying to create with its self fulfilling prophecy coverage).

      Keep posting the bullshit guys. I won’t say it won’t work, but at least from what I’ve seen people are mostly downvoting it when it is getting posted here.
