      If you’re paying attention to polling, no. He hasn’t really been winning the polls this entire time and the debate was his last hope of turning it around. I’m not saying there’s no chance, but they’re cutting it way too close on what should be an easy election. Should’ve replaced him at the beginning of the year, better late than never

      It’s really not though. It’s just a nightmare. And of course in the modern system where you fight a campaign at every level before, during, and after the voting, the GOP would try to make this hard.

        "Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

      TIL 32% of Democrats are pushing conservative propaganda to discourage people from voting Democrat.

      The “everyone who disagrees with me is a bad actor” conspiracy theories keep getting less and less plausible.

        “The two-day poll found that both Trump, 78, and Biden, 81, maintain the support of 40% of registered voters, suggesting that Biden has not lost ground since the debate.”

        From the survey you linked.

      We’re running a mentally disabled, almost dead, sundowner. Don’t blame the players when he loses, blame the game. The DNC has played itself hard with a sure loser.

      Does seem to be a lot of super rich people calling to replace the guy who wants higher taxes on the wealthy.

      conservative propaganda to discourage people from voting

      Things centrists say about anything to their left and only their left.
