Yup debates really don’t matter. It’s all about bananas and gas prices and those are gonna keep trending down.

They matter when one of the candidates does so poorly people wonder if he'll even make it to the election.

I mean Fetterman is speaking from experience here. Did you see his debate with Oz after his stroke. It was way worse than Biden last night. It got less coverage because it was a senate race instead of president but there was a lot of the same doom posting about needing to replace him and how he wasn't fit to run, and he still went on to win.

People get better from strokes, not from aging.
