    No one should be surprised in the slightest. I hope Biden holds the debate anyway, and addresses an empty podium if Trump’s too cowardly (or too incarcerated) to show up.

    The media and its followers fall for this every time!

    • Step 1: accept to debate = promotional articles.
    • Step 2: walk it back, pretend you will back out = 2x promotional articles.
    • Step 3: allow them to simmer and plead for you to re-commit = 3x promotional articles.
    • Step 4: receive praise for re-committing = 4x promotional articles.

    Meanwhile, in Biden land:

    • Step 1: accept to debate = get 1/4 the promotional articles orange traitor got, and none of the anticipation.

    It’s too easy for him. He gets 4x the press without even trying.

      This is what pisses me off about Democrats. They keep decorum and fight with one arm tied behind their back, while the other guy slings shit and doesn’t follow a single rule and gets away with it. For once they need to fight fire with fire. Get dirty with Trump, really dig up his skeletons and shove him in his face while calling him funny names and telling him he has a tiny dick

        They’re more than happy to fight dirty. But they only know how to punch left.

    I still remember watching their debate, live, and Biden running circles around that fucking idiot because all he could do was jibber jabber nonsense, and continually kept talking over Biden during Biden’s turn. I then had people try to tell me that Biden was too old to debate, that Trump ran circles around Biden, and that Trump had taken the win for the debate.

    It was at this time, where I fully became radicalized. I realized that the reality that I watched in real time, was not the same reality that these people were in.

    Anyway, I’m assuming Biden will still run circles around Trump, whether he be there or not. Maybe this time, Biden will actually get to use his time to talk without the orange fucking idiot opening his.

      That’s every debate. You show up to cheer for your team and then you compete to see who can say “You fucking idiot, my guy won!” the loudest.

      Why did anyone think MAGA would come out of that fight saying anything less?

      Maybe this time, Biden will actually get to use his time to talk without the orange fucking idiot opening his.

      Only if he gives Trump a stiff punch to the throat.
