Whatever that was, it certainly didn't resemble any form of debate that I was ever taught. It sounded like two old men verbally attacking each other. One was obviously in the process of cognitive decline and the other was more articulate. Aside from that, they both "debated" their positions by stating, "That guy did this... he did that..." They sounded like a couple of squabbling grumpy old tattle-tales.

Surely it is time to pass the leadership on to a younger generation that can lead this country out of its pitiful state of decline.

It’s appalling to me that Joe Biden is the best the Democrats can do. Make no mistake, I’m more appalled by the Republicans, but I sure wish the Democrats were better at this.

Totally agree the debate was an almost literal shitshow. Monkeys flinging poo at each other. This is what we’ve sunk to. Politics as a reality show. Pick your team.

Someone recently started a conversation with, “I know you don’t like Trump…” as if it was the same as not liking a rival sports team. This has nothing to do with what “side” I’m on but with the most basic aspects of honor, justice, freedom, mercy, and grace. Both sides depress me, but only one side scares me for our “shining” democracy.
