There is always an incredible amount of fear-mongering and general negativity in the US media. This is especially so for politics.
Here is my unsolicited advice:
Ignore the media including polls.
If you are capable, then please do some canvasing.
It was far less bad than people make it out to be. I was on a stream watching and so many comments were talking about how he looked, and I’m sitting here thinking… y’all realize he’s listening to Trump speak right? Anyone actually listening to what that monster has to say is going to either look befuddled or dismayed. He looked both. He definitely had some weak spots, but compared to Trump who wouldn’t even answer a question and blatantly lying every other second.
It sucks. People were basically cheering him on online, the most against him comments I saw were “they’re both so old”. Not commenting on the insanity or the racism or the lies, just memeing on old Biden. Which yeah he deserves it but the rhetoric is reminding me of 2016 and it does not inspire hope.
People who like Tump, by nature, must be easily hypnotized by word salad because there’s no other justification for his existence as a political candidate. I’ve never heard a coherent chain of sentences come out of the man’s mouth.

I watched it and it scares me only because of how many people didn’t notice or care that Biden was the only one saying anything of substance up there.

Yeah. This was the face of an old man having trouble believing what he was hearing.
He looks like a walking corpse, but he seemed to understand what he was hearing and was just amazed by it.
