    Trump was talking about immigrants raping and murdering in nearly every one of his answers. Biden answered the abortion part by saying that majority of consitutional scholars support roe v wade. Then he mentioned how absurd a six week rule is as most women dont even know if they’re pregant by six weeks. Then he attacked the stupidy of throwing it back to the states likening it to throwing civil rights back.

    Then with his extra time is (poorly) tried to push back against what trump had been talking about over and over which was an immigrant that murdered a women. He seemed to be pointing out that trump makes a big deal out of specific cases but there are many other types of violence that women face and that comes from family and in those cases his legislation harms them. Referring to women in red states who get raped and then when they travel out of state for abortions they get arrested when they return as a direct result of his dogshit stance on abortion.

    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.

    Its a single jumbled sentence at the end of a relevant response in an hour and 20min debate. Its obvious he mixed up covid and medicare. Pick any response from trump and it was infinitely more stupid in quotes and in context. That quote from biden is a mistake and obvious to anyone with a functional brain that “beating Medicare” was not the point he was making. Trump was giving infinitely worse responses and they weren’t a slip of the tounge or mixing up words. He just unironically is that fucking stupid. So I will not sit here and pretend like these two things are equal.

    If that is all it takes to convince you biden lost the debate then you are mentally cooked and I can’t phrase it any kinder without getting banned.

    If you want to say biden won but you think hes to old to run thats fine but its not what I’m stating here. I’m specifically attacking people who thought biden lost the debate against trump.
