    Now I subjected myself to some reaction from "professional" analyst, I kinda think that this was a hitjob and a coup.

    Usually, the first "hot" take by analyst on the network hosting the debate is the most important. John King of CNN, right after the debate ends immediately goes on "panic among Democratic party." Then everyone on the panel, Van Jones, David Axelrod, Alyssa Griffin, all took turn burying the shiv, with nothing positive to say. These people are not that brave, and they have been gaslighting people for 6 years (ever since Biden started running in '18 he's been mentally compromised). Same with MSNBC, Rachel Maddow asked Alex Wagner and she immediately also said that the reaction was negative. Joy Ann Reid piled on and said Joe Biden don't have the stamina. The replacement headline then immediately made it to NYT front page, opinion piece, and now repeated by all major outlets. These people didn't went through the denial, anger, bargaining stage, they all within 1 1/2 hr debate go to acceptance in unison.

      Nah they’re just hacks, they’re like a herd of deer, one gets spooked and starts running the rest will follow. Unfortunately for Biden that means his campaign is gonna be in cascade failure mode now

        Or, here's the youtube transcript. All the media ones clean up his verbal collapse and make it look coherent when it was not.

        We'd be able to help make sure that all of things we need to do, childcare, elder care, making sure that we continue to strengthen our health care system, making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person uh eligible for what I've been able to do with the uh with, with, with the COVID, excuse me, with, um dealing with everything we have to do with uh what if we finally beat Medicare?

          Wow, Trump actually looked genuinely concerned for a second there when Biden had his petit mal.

          Then stomped him. Trump may be a rambling incoherent shit sack, but he's still quick with the insults. Mean old men only get meaner I guess.

            And I seriously think Biden has some form of number aphasia going on. He repeatedly says a number confidently, hears that he said the wrong number, then he says (presumably) the right one.

          I literally would not have understood half of what Biden said if it weren't for the god-tier closed captioner
