The president often had a weak, raspy voice during his first debate against Trump, in what Democrats had hoped would be a turning point in the race.

    Legitimately planning how I’m going to weather a Trump presidency after the debate. Unimaginably disheartening.

      You could call your congressional representatives asking that they encourage Biden to step aside for a better candidate.

        Pretty sure after tonight my congressional representative is thrilled that Biden is the one running.

            You have a state democratic party and contacts for the national democrat campaigns assigned to your state. Contact them.

              I realize I’m late to the response but the Democrat campaign in Missouri is captured by the DNC which is walking in step with Biden. Last senate campaign we had a choice on the democrats side between a left leaning former marine and pushed major antitrust policies or… an heiress to the biggest beer company in the country.

              I’ll let you guess who the DNC and the campaigns assigned to our state backed. I’ll not even count the first two guesses.

                This is an issue they’ll listen on. Political parties only care about one thing at their core, getting elected. If that’s gone then it’s good night for the party anyways.

          Sorry to hear that. Maybe they’d have a recommendation on where Biden can actually get those performance enhancing drugs they said he’d be on.

          Likewise. My representative is a maga chud because the party cut off funds to her progressive opponent.

      There will be other elections. And more debates including the VP one. Maybe we will get lucky and one of them will die.
