🇺🇸Presidential debate round 1 - “Matchday thread”🇺🇸 01:18 - Sep 29 with 225246 views | Dr_Parnassus | Who will be watching? First one kicks off in 24 hours time. The Democrats have pulled Joe back from his campaign trail recently to get him prepared, so hopefully it will be a decent exchange. Unfortunately they don’t seem to have great confidence as they have spent the last month looking for any dirt they can dig up so Joe can use if he gets stuck. It’s no coincidence that this vote influencing Facebook algorithm story is being shamelessly and inaccurately made into a race issue on the eve of the debates. So transparent and disingenuous, it’s a shame politics has come to this on this level where black people are being used in this way to score political points. I would be furious if I was them, but it does seem a lot of people are not falling for this one and calling it out for what it is. People finally seem to be getting wise to this political race baiting which is refreshing to see. It’s also telling that in the week of the debate they try and paint Trump as a tax evasion offender. I think that’s what they wanted the tax returns to show, they seem to have got annoyed when it turns out his tax returns were fine in accordance to what his companies profits were - but decided to run with it anyway. Any news is good news in their mind as it’s another thing Joe can use when in a tricky spot. But I hope the discussions remain political and doesn’t turn into some form of gossip peddling reality TV episode. Although I think there should be some kind of drinking game involved if it does turn that way, how many times Biden completely loses his thread of thought and blurts out “I mean, think about it...” you have to take a shot. I will be watching with great interest anyway.

🇺🇸Presidential debate round 1 - “Matchday thread”🇺🇸 on 23:32 - Dec 8 with 1371 views | AndyCole | Another dollop of delicious irony from the faux self-styled intellectuals/academics. "Fascist comes from Fascia" (boarding). Ridiculously hilarious and couldn't possibly be a typo. "30 plus years.... is good for working these out". Academics hey - "not of practical relevance; of only theoretical interest - the debate has been largely academic". Out of touch with the real world. Goes to show | |

The fasces of fascia were the symbol of legislative power in Rome and adopted by Mussolini. Just interesting. So you know where your name is derived. Practical-no. But most of my work is. Sad and jealous methinks. | | |  |

🇺🇸Presidential debate round 1 - “Matchday thread”🇺🇸 on 07:57 - Dec 9 with 1251 views | Highjack | I sat and watched a few of the testimonies of various counters, election workers and poll watchers at a hearing in Michigan yesterday via the You Tube and putting the fraud allegations to one side for a moment the running theme was a picture painted of completely chaotic counting centres with nobody seeming to know the correct processes, having hardly any training and officials more concerned with getting everything done as quickly as possible rather than as correctly as possible. Dismissing any concerns without checks etc. If anything comes from the fallout of this election they need to look at their processes to stop this sort of nonsense in the future. We don’t seem to have any of these problems here. Everyone seems to know what they’re doing, the counting process is highly efficient. Over there the feeling I get is people are just dragged in off the streets and chucked straight in. [Post edited 9 Dec 2020 11:10]

🇺🇸Presidential debate round 1 - “Matchday thread”🇺🇸 on 12:14 - Dec 9 with 1177 views | nantywatcher | What a job Biden has on his hands. 15 million covid cases in the US and the "leader" is nowhere to be seen. In the last 4/5 years Trump has transformed a strong nation into the laughing stock of the world (travelled to 15/16 countries over three continents in that time and the orange simpleton is 100% universally regarded as a joke.) Biden will need an awful lot more than 4/5 years to sort this mess out. | | |  |
🇺🇸Presidential debate round 1 - “Matchday thread”🇺🇸 on 12:22 - Dec 9 with 1170 views | A_Fans_Dad | You seem to have trouble with reality, Biden can barely tie his shoe laces, let alone run the USA. | | |  |
