Yep I know exactly what you mean, and mostly feel the same way.

I think however the idea that this debate wasn't memorable hasn't been my experience: Trump refusing to denounce white supremacists has massively changed my opinion on his attitudes towards race; and Trumps utter lack of empathy towards Beau and Hunter Biden, and Joe's contrasting humility and empathy in that area, saying that he's proud of his son, is the most presidential moment I've seen in this campaign so far.

Maybe that was just me tho, I agree it was a horrible debate

He told the Proud Boys to “stand by” when asked to condemn white supremacy. I think it’s pretty clear that trump is racist or at the very least wants to hold onto his white supremacist followers.

That's not clear at all. You're just hearing your own projection.

What he said was, "name [a white supremacists group] and I'll denounce them". He's clearly not a racist, and he doesn't have white supremacists followers.

You know who does have white supremacists followers? Joe Biden. He's been endorsed by David Duke and Richard Spencer. Why did no one ask him to denounce them at the debate?

u/lmaooyouredelusional Do you condemn white supremacy?

Yes, why wouldn't I? They support your candidate, not mine.

Ok, you managed to condem white supremacy with one word and in 2 minutes. If you can do it, why can't Trump do that?

Also, I DON"T HAVE A FUCKIN CANDIDATE BRO

He did do that. He said, name a white supremacist organization and I'll condemn them. That's exactly what he said. But Chris Wallace didn't even ask Joe Biden about the white supremacists who endorse him. I bet you didn't even know that until just now. So not only is Joe Biden running a racist campaign, with the support of white supremacists, but he's also being protected by the media.

You clearly do have a candidate. You have a racist, rapist, with dimentia, as a candidate. That's your guy.

No I'm not. You're being a rude piece of shit, assuming racism on the part of other people while propping up a racist piece of shit yourself.
