Thursday’s show down also carries the risk that Americans already dissatisfied with their options will come away even more dismayed. Polls show an extremely tight race between the 81-year-old incumbent and the 78-year-old former US president – and both candidates remain broadly unpopular.

haha, going to be so gimped
Biden and Trump will not debate in front of a studio audience in Atlanta, and there will be no opening statements.
CNN’s Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will moderate. The candidates’ microphones will be muted throughout the 90 minutes until it is their turn to speak.
This makes it seem like it will be very scripted. Curious if biden will just continually drop rehearsed sound bites of "Jan 6th", "white supremacy", "best economy ever".
I'll vote Trump this year. And if we are still having elections after that term, then I'll vote RFK. Was waffling on voting RFK this time, but looks like democrats aren't letting him anywhere near their ballots

It doesn't matter, you will have a civil war regardless.
I really wish Trump wouldn't stoop to talking about "the left" and "the right". If you are trying to fall in the center, choosing a side won't help. At this point, I don't really see a point. If they want to corner him with abortion questions, just punt it with "it is a state matter now". Opinions on Israel and Palestine? Who cares, lets stay out of middle east quibbles. What are you going to do about Russia and Ukraine? Who cares, plus if we hadn't given Ukraine billions, the "war" would have already been over and the 100,000+ casualties would still be alive. What about gun violence? Who cares, if people had a job to go to and a future prospective, they wouldn't have time to shoot up a school. Focus on bringing back american industry, stop private companies from buying up housing as investments and jacking up rates. Also if people are stoned or on mushrooms, they probably won't feel like shooting up a school either. So focus on legalizing that as well. Shouldn't be too hard with some cuts to come up with an extra 100 billion per year that could go into some kind of "make america first" program. It all starts with a dream. We need dreams again.
