I tend to agree with SR. It would be better for Biden not to have a debate but it'll look worse for him if he dodges than if he shows up and flops. He has to do it or else he looks like a bitch automatically.

Well, I only really know him as an alternative to Trump, but am pretty much won over by adds like these:-

It’s literally impossible to have economic justice in a capitalist society. It’s also impossible for there to be racial justice without economic justice and vice versa. Spreading the false hope and propaganda that America can be healed while being governed by capitalists is extremely problematic. We have 400 years of evidence that it doesn’t work. Biden is a capitalist.

I'm a bit wary of these kind of absolutes of political theory and take instead a more pragmatic approach: Which politicians are moving in the direction of better social justice, which politicians are making things worse? Which politicians are helping to protect the environment, which are down for greater pollution for quick gain? To me, Biden is a good choice for the coming election, as an achievable improvement while we wait for your apocalyptic downfall of capitalism to arrive, which, by the way, may not produce social justice either.

How could going back to the same **** that got us here possibly be pragmatic?

These college students tend to agree.

Once the middle class white women see Biden humiliated in the debates their suburban pussies are going to dry up and tell them they better vote for Trump for the same reasons they chose to be suburbanites in the first place.
