    the American people are smarter than the media.

    They absolutely are not if you are speaking in gross generalities. Maybe the people you are used to interacting with are, but there’s a lot of stupid mother fuckers in this country that cum from watching Fox News.

      I don’t think the debate was going to change any of those people’s minds though

      I have to say, I agree with you with some level of surprise about the lack of promised collapse in support for Biden even after a pretty gruesome fuck-up of a debate.

        The only thing that matters is mustering support from the politically uninvolved, transient voters who have the power to manipulate the swing state electorate. At the moment I don’t see Biden inspiring anyone to vote that wasn’t already going to vote, and that should scare the literal fuck out of everyone.

        The baked in Republican advantage due to the electoral college is already so steep to overcome without these fucking self-inflicted wounds the DNC seems hellbent on saddling the country with every four years. At least Republicans actively telegraph their evil for everyone to see. The evil of the DNC, on the other hand, is subtrefuge. They seem more than willing to doom society rather than cede control or overturn the status quo in favor of progressive populism. They are the fucking enemy too, and it is high time we start treating them as such.
