It's gonna be awful. Two mumbling old men who's brains have melted yelling at each other. Maga will say Trump won. BlueMaga will say Biden won. The rest of us look on in horror that these 2 decrepit husks are somehow the best this system could muster up. And I become fully
Kind of obvious but probably the most heated back-and-forth will be when they’re arguing over who loves Israel more and who will do more to ensure Israel can continue their genocide.
I completely forgot there was going to be a Trump/Biden debate. With that said, the only thing that’ll make it worth watching is if it ends in two high-profile fatalities.
The debate is gonna be rigged, but not to give either candidate a tangible advantage. It's gonna be rigged to make both candidates look and sound like normal people with normal opinions who aren't currently decomposing alive. They can't do this for just Biden because whatever conditions he needs to appear normal in public are probably the exact same conditions Trump needs to do his thing.
They give Biden enough Vyvanse to ace a battery of Chinese Imperial Exams.
Trump comes out with his mojo back. Hopefully he mentions something like the handsome pilots or a Broadway musical he saw 40 years ago. That's where the entertainment value is for me. They're never letting Biden talk about Corn Pop or Aunt Gertie again.
The only thing I care about is I'm 100% sure China will be brought in several topics and
100% Both candidates will call Xi a dictator.
100% Both will say the US needs to be tougher on China. Trump will remember his "trade war" and call it a great success. Biden will call the Russia related sanctions a great success and both will promise more.
100% both will say some lipservice BS about protecting "American jobs" and this is why they need to be more racist.
60% Trump will say he has a great relationship with Xi Kim because he will mix them up.
75% Xinjiang or "Chinese slave labor/genocide" will be brought up.
100% Taiwan support for "democracy" will be mentioned and both will support it unconditionally.
30% Taiwan independence will be brought up specificaly and if the CPC still got any delusions about avoiding a war for Taiwan this should be their wake up call. There wont be any further excuses when literaly both candidates call and promise to support it.
Biden promises all the same things he did 4 years ago, brings up Jan 6th all the time. He brings up 1 half way decent policy he implemented and hyper fixates on it.
Trump says all the bad stuff happening right now is Bidens fault and wouldn't have happened with him in office.
Both of them foam at the mouth over migrants coming into the country.
Both of them compete over who has more unconditional support for Israel, Trump still manages to call Biden Genocide Joe in between 2 sentences of how he would support Israel more
One of my favorite Hexbear memories (chapo.chat at the time) was the community watch party for the first Trump-Biden debate in 2020. I got drunk, and afterwards we started playing music videos and I got introduced to the Paradise Killer soundtrack by a fellow user.
According to this wikipedia list it's been a hot minute since there was a sizable seismic event in Atlanta, that could be funny, maybe an early hurricane?
It's going to be the Simpsons debate, but not between the lines like usual. It's just actually going to be two people saying "my opponent wishes to cut taxes, whereas I wish to cut taxes"
That it won’t matter. At most, debates only move polls by a couple of percentage points. This one is so early and the US has become so polarized that it won’t move the needle at all.
Is there a bingo for this yet? Maybe one about what questions get asked?
[] Question about who's going to make more Chinese people suffer
[] Question about who's going to make more Yemeni people suffer
[] Question about who's going to make more Palestinians suffer
[] Question about who's going to make more Venezuelans suffer
[] Question about who's going to make more Iranians suffer
[] Question about who's going to make more Cubans suffer
[] Question about who's going to make more Haitians suffer
[] Question about who's going to make more Koreans suffer
[] Will there be a total absence of a question about US healthcare?
[] Will there be a total absence of a question about criminal justice?
[] Will there be a total absence of a question about COVID? (this could be interesting, might actually be pretty likely to happen)
There's a debate?
My prediction is that they both avow to fight the woke mind virus and double down with foaming blood mouths on being genocidaires. My hopes, with my heart of hearts, is that one or both of them die on live television.
