The crazy thing is everything up to this point was so much better. They'd show biden waiving at "nobody" and then they'd zoom out and there's someone standing there. Or he'd say "president of Mexico" when he meant to say "president of Egypt". But then last night was like nonstop fail. It's the perfect nightmare scenario because now everyone can say "You shoulda seen it sooner!" but really, we couldn't.

Sounds like an excuse.

What I mean is: it sounds like his handlers kept making excuses and you kept accepting them because you wanted to believe them.

I know, I'm frustrated too. I dismissed the Alex Jones Fox News crowd because they were known liars, they'd lied to us for decades, and this really did seem like standard conservative projection to deflect from their candidates' obvious mental issues.

Hate to admit it. But the conservatives were right and we were wrong.

No, plenty of nonpartisan and even liberal people were yelling this too. I had no illusions of Biden's age.

America is not just two internet echo chambers... even if it feels like it right now.

Yea, sorry, no. You Americans cannot be trusted with something so important.

Biden was horrible, he is old, he should retire. (Saying this as an outsider) I have not much knowledge of US politics, just saw debate because it was viral

Unfortunately, when America farts we're all forced to smell it. America wants Europeans to stay out of American business, buts that's rather difficult to do when that country demands to be the center of attention.

I don't. Please send help!

I'd rather drink bleach than watch this shitshow.

weker01 ,

I would love not knowing about any debate but lemmy is like: Nope you'll read American "news" if you want to or not.

So next time keep your national humiliation fetish at private please

loaExMachina ,

As a French tho, do watch the debate between Gabriel Attal, Merdella and Manuel Bombard. See how Bompard (the left wing candidate) politely wipes the floor with both shitbags.

Is it the official French stance to omit the Oxford comma?

It's only an Oxford comma if it's from the region of Oxford. Otherwise it's just sparkling interpunction.

In german media there is so much content about america even I sometimes get confused whoch country I actually live in.

VirtualOdour ,

At least you can tell where something happens by place names, I get headlines '12 shot in Manchester gun fight' or 'Birmingham man kills 8 in roadrage incident' and there's just no way of telling it's America... OK, well those examples are obvious but the point stands.

What is the over under on the return of Hilldog?

I find it almost impossible to believe they will continue running Biden, but then again I did not expect them to let him run again from the start.

Treczoks ,

But think of all the popcorn we are able to consume watching you shitshow. This is way more entertaining than the usual movies, series, and shows that you produce!

Well I suppose the answer I'd give is that because of how right-wing the US is compared to much of the Western world, it becomes a patient zero for whatever the far-right is cooking up - which inevitably influences far-right groups in other Western countries

Too late, I watched it all. It would have been funny if it hadn't been so sad.
