    You thought that Biden talking about increasing taxes on the rich to continue his expansion of medicare and other healthcare schemes was intended to be ended with him saying that he beat medicare? Thats impossible. At worst you don’t know what he intended to say in that last sentence but understand his answer about increasing taxes on rich people from 7% to 25% then using that money to fund the social programs. He was talking about what he was able to do with medicare expansion and said covid by mistake got detailed and then finished with his last part of the argument which (I assume because he didnt make it) was beating big pharma

    Here is the full response in text:

    spoiler

    He had the largest national debt of any president four-year period, number one. Number two, he got $2 trillion tax cut, benefited the very wealthy.

    What I’m going to do is fix the taxes. For example, we have a thousand trillionaires in America – I mean, billionaires in America. And what’s happening? They’re in a situation where they, in fact, pay 8.2 percent in taxes. If they just paid 24 percent or 25 percent, either one of those numbers, they’d raised $500 million – billion dollars, I should say, in a 10-year period. We’d be able to right – wipe out his debt. We’d be able to help make sure that – all those things we need to do, childcare, elder care, making sure that we continue to strengthen our healthcare system, making sure that we’re able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I’ve been able to do with the COVID – excuse me, with dealing with everything we have to do with. Look, if – we finally beat Medicare.

    I can admin Biden isnt a rap god out there. But I dont know how people have mindfucked themselves this hard that they are trying to argue that its a sane opinion to think he lost. I don’t think Biden lost but I understand that more Americans would be convinced by Trump because a lot of Americans are really really fucking dumb. So say that you are convinced by whoever is the more confident speaker and accept that you are stupid. A debate should be judge on how the candidates answer the questions. There is not a single question where Trumps answer was coherent or good. Bidens answers were good, he used examples of policy he had already implemented to address the issues and then he talked about how he was going to continue expanding that policy to target the problem. Thats what you want in a president. Trump literally just said “Everything was good in my presidency and bad in his” and im expected to not insult people who thought he was cooking?

    As for the 2nd bit https://youtu.be/qqG96G8YdcE?t=949 he doesnt pause for more than a few seconds. Please remember that this is an 80 something year old man with a stutter. Now Trump is also old and just as senile so we cant act like that was the deciding factor.

    Let me remind you Trump refused to admin he lost an election, lied in almost every single one of his claims, was unable to stay on topic for a single question and used Palestinian as an insult. So when people tell me that Biden lost because he stuttered a few time I can only expect that they are actually dumber than my guinea pig who cant decide between eating hay and a carboard box.

      Here’s another one

      I’m going to continue to move until we get the total ban on the — the total initiative relative to what we’re going to do with more Border Patrol and more asylum officers

      How much copium did you take that you must deny what even the man’s own wife will admit to on television? The guy wasn’t all there, mentally speaking. That doesn’t make Trump better; I’d prefer an autopen over a fascist any day of the week. But don’t deny what was plain to see for the entire nation. It’s just silly.

          You explain how answering a question about abortion with vague ramblings about immigration is a stutter.
