Now? Biden has been losing in swing state polls since January. The debate was supposed to move the needle in his direction. That’s why all this talk about “oh his debate performance didn’t affect his polling” is so infuriating.

Correct. It didn’t move the needle. He’s still losing. He needs to go.

This will energize his base and he will win the election. It will also mean Republican domination of the House and Senate. The next two years will be a clusterfuck as normal and barriers are demolished and regular people begin to realize they’ve elected fascism. The midterms will begin to look like a blue wave, but then they will point back to moments like this to declare the Democratic party “illegitimate” and remove them from ballot access, if midterm elections happen at all.

This is the end of any semblance of democracy in the US for at least a generation.

Irked is the emotion represented by the fact that the order that the pairs are displayed in switches as you move across each row.

Exactly this.

“Sorry Mr. President, the policies you enacted during the triple hurricane saved thousands of lives, but the drug test you took beforehand were positive for mood stabilizers so we’ve invalidated your policies and everyone who was saved by them has been taken out back and shot.”

This isn’t the fucking Olympics. But then debates are a terrible way to judge a president to begin with.
