This is how you know Biden lost the debate: When TDS overtakes all conversation about it, rather than reading/hearing statements such as "Biden's performance in the debate tonight brought hope back to America!"
The left is in full-on panic mode after tonight.
I don't think so. Most of the pieces I've read are saying the entire debate was a shit show and that Biden did the whole "didn't win but didn't lose" thing to allow them to say Biden "won" while tacitly giving the right a bone by saying that Biden was just as bad as Trump was when it came to incivility. Which is pissing off the lunatic lefties who are claiming "both siderism" from the media, claiming that the press opted to go with "it was a clusterfuck all around" because they were afraid of the backlash if they said Biden won flawless victory.
Furthermore, there is already a movement brewing to use the madness of the debate to try and give Joe the out to refuse to participate in any further debates with Trump. Or to change the next two debates to allow moderators to mute Trump, in order to trigger Trump into refusing to do them and allow Joe to escape the backlash from having to refuse to do them.
The way I see it is like this - you can vote in someone nice and agreeable and you'll get the same results as the Trudeau's, Blairs, Obama's and Theresa May's of this world. They'll speak with honey in their mouths to catch your votes, but spend the actual time in office more concerned with their polling numbers and will do shitty things but rely on their spin-doctor team to cook up an excuse for why they had to drone that village last week and have someone write up a real cute speech to convince you those extra taxes they are about to shaft on you are a good thing. After all - if your nice and grin most of the time, people will be more likely to book you for the sweet talk circuit after your term(s)
Also worth noting, Biden did take potshots too. Called Trump a clown, told him to shut up a bunch of times when he didn't like what was being said ect. He wasn't exactly a gentleman on the stage. Trump had better material for roasting. It's basically the whole "omg look at Trump getting in Hillary's space I'm literally shaking rn" all over again.
A leader has to run the show, and sometimes leading means sometimes you have to play the bad guy and be okay that people will not love every choice you make or that it might even screw up your "legacy" - I have more respect for someone who is willing to put that thought aside to do things they know will tank their rep.
It works too, Trump renegotiated a ton of foreign trade deals that had really bad terms that screwed over American business (because the nice ones were not willing to fight for better deals and give more away from US biz for "better relations") or deal with international issues. Granted it's too early to say if Trumps dabbling with international political issues will bear fruit - but he at least managed to get the Koreas trying to understand each other for a while, rather than just maintain status quo because that was easier and "nicer"
You are confusing sociopaths.
Clinton, Trudeau, Obama, Blair, even May to a lesser extent, all got elected by promising the moon and basically peddling "hope and change" in the wake of a really nasty period where the opposition controlled shit for around a decade or more.
The ones that are nice and agreeable are like Carter (out in one term and villified as a wimp with little to show for it, due to them not having the ruthless sociopathy to get shit done) or in the case of someone like Eisenhower, they get shit done but leave office so utterly redpilled that they check out from society as the vultures swoop down the feed on the body politic the second the steward is gone.
