CNN just aired the presidential debate about 5 hours ago.
Here's a shortened version. (You'll understand the level of despair within the first five minutes.)
TLDW: Trump lying and ignoring the question to try to slander Biden like a 10y/o trying to displace blame after getting caught bullying. Biden was was talking like someone with the grogginess just getting woken up in the middle of the night then smoking a joint right before coming on. (i.e. We're fucked either way.)

As someone who doesn't like giving Biden free passes just because he's not Trump, I feel like I haven't seen anyone mentioning the time limit set for responses during the debate. It clearly was not in his favor. Trump can talk your ear off about any nonsense he can dream of at a moments notice.
Biden has always had to take time to think. Look at his speeches, look at the times he responds to reporters. There's always pauses and gaps between responses where he has to think.
Ah, trump has discovered US-americans' stereotype in many countries (that has already existed for decades at least).
Backwards politics and worse education will only strengthen that stereotype. The way to change that are progressive politics and huge investments in education.
Anyway that really is a mess for both. I get that the republicans sent Trump again since he got a fascism-like personal cult, but why did the democrats send Biden?
Can they still change their candidate?
Anyway this is a perfect example to show why a democracy should have more than two parties.
