Trump vs. Biden: The Second Debate

The second debate happened tonight. Less interruptions and better pacing than the first.

I'll see if I can watch it over the weekend. I had all but sworn off watching the debates. However, you mentioned this was better so I may give it a go, just to stay informed about what happened.

I've not seen as much outrage in the media over it compared to the first one, so I hope that's a good sign xD

Fairly boring to be honest.

This reminds me so much of the Bush years - everyone has an opinion and tries to stuff their view down your throat - and that's on both sides.

I guess it's good that people are passionate, but hearing people espouse politics is a huge turn off.

Perfectly defines politics.

I'm not sure why, but during the Bush years it didn't seem like people were nearly as disrespectful. They didn't have to use a mute button to keep people from interrupting during the debates.

I only watched the first 30 minutes but from what I saw it wasn't nearly as obnoxious as the first debate. The muting of the microphones seemed to work but the fact that they had to do so is an embarrassment. The debates didn't change my mind on who I'm voting for. I don't know who would still be unsure of who to vote for at this point.

You can find information on candidates online and many organizations have their own scorecards published. I don't think the debates surprise anyone, given how bipartisan things are.

People that spend time watching debates already know who they will vote for.

I remember this - like two children fighting over who's going to sit up front.
I think we should just make Kayne dictator and leave it at that.
