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.

Are you talking about the convicted felon who lied and made shit up for two hours, or the guy with a phenomenonal record over the past three years, who also had a cold?

You’re doing what a lot of people are doing. You’re arguing from a point of reason. The average voter has no interest in reason and votes on who they feel like voting for.

The avg voter might care about felonies but vast majority vote with their check book. They are hurting and 10s of millions living paycheck to paycheck. Seeing your president look like he did at the debate doesn't instill confidence that things are going to get better. People still remember life was ok in 2019 under trump.
