Humble_Novice 06/27/24 9:38:30 PM #1:	Do you believe the debates will have a huge impact on the elections? - Results (86 votes) Yes, and by a massive amount to boot. 18.6% (16 votes) 16 Yes, but by a smaller margin. 31.4% (27 votes) 27 No, I don't think so. 50% (43 votes) 43 Seeing people freak out over Biden's performance in the debates reminds me of how folks reacted when Fetterman stumbled immensely during his debate against Oz right before the 2020 elections. In the end, the debates will not matter for people who've already made up their minds. <cite>Humble_Novice posted [p:981051567] in People Are...

luigi33 06/27/24 10:14:36 PM #3:	No. Debates matter far more when both guys weren't former presidents. We've seen a Trump and a Biden presidency. No one is sitting there waiting for a debate to know who they want to vote for. --- RTX 3070, Ryzen 7 5700x,16GB DDR4, 700WGold PSU Switch FC: SW-3966-2111-8902, Proud Steam Deck Owner <cite>luigi33 posted [p:981052395] in People Are...

Humble_Novice 06/27/24 10:28:55 PM #6:	Still, I'm amazed to see so many people freaking out over this. If you're afraid of Trump winning, one effective way of easing your fears is to help the Democrats win in any way you can whether if it's through volunteer work or donating. <cite>Humble_Novice posted [p:981052739] in People Are...

Voidgolem 06/27/24 10:36:20 PM #7:	they didn't seem to matter the last two, three times, constant "oh my god he's being eaten alive" commentary in -either- direction comes from folks who were decided already or aren't able to vote in the first place I still have no real expectation of dems winning because dems winning is bad for media ratings and shock-value salesmanship, but maybe the incumbent boost will work. --- Variable General Veeg, at your service <cite>Voidgolem posted [p:981052909] in People Are...

The_Popo 06/27/24 10:44:53 PM #12:	I think the clip of Biden losing focus and not able to finish his train of thought from the start of the debate will be in every single anti-Biden ad for the next several months and itll haunt him. The lack of fact checking takes away a lot of the shit that shoulda been thrown at Trump throughout the night. --- Live action Hungry Hungry Hippos though, now that was a sport. ~Aeon Azuran <cite>The_Popo posted [p:981053087] in People Are...

Kaitouace 06/27/24 10:46:17 PM #16:	It's not so much the debate or even Trump and Biden but it's so frustratingly brazen how in the tank the media is for Trump. The debate doesn't really matter that much because even if Biden demolished Trump, all the media will focus on will be those first 10 minutes and any fact-checking will occur after the debate when the audience has turned it off. --- "They will never let a Black man be Captain America.

ShaneMcComez 06/27/24 10:47:46 PM #17:	It likely did have an impact for those watching in reminding them how much they hate Trump. That asshole was constantly bullying Biden and painting America as a hell scape littered with evil immigrants. Also constantly dodging questions to ramble the same 3 or so talking points at ad nauseum. Trump lost this debate. Biden at least looked like a human being dealing with a cold and old age. Trump behaved like an old, raving, narcissistic lunatic. --- "Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat." - F. Scott Fitzgerald <cite>ShaneMcComez posted [p:981053142] in People Are...
