@futurebird we’d all be better off of they were sent to individual rooms to write their answers. But it’s really just pageantry for future “internet owns”. So that’s what we’re getting.
I might have said a debate like this was a mistake, but this time I think it doesn't matter. Media want it to matter. But I don't think it will.
There is a slim chance that Biden can be heard by people who have been insulated from him by right wing media and that might be a good thing.
Trump will say a lot of bold anti-war soundbites. Things he has no intention of doing and doesn't even believe. He will pretend to anti-interventionism.
@futurebird@lienrag less than what? Trump's record in office hardly looks non-interventionist. (He perpetuated the ear on Afghanistan, directly bombed Iran, and increased drone killings while shrouding that program in secrecy)
At best, you might argue that Trump's foreign policy was "helter skelter," but underlying that chaos was a real intention to use the power of the presidency to enrich himself.
