The real loser of this debate is America

[FirstLastname]

If you told someone in the year 2000 this was an snl skit they’d believe you with zero hesitation

[w.l.]

Why can't they both be turned down and we just get two more candidates that are younger, healthier and smarter to lead the country?

[chriserony]

I’m amazed they managed to put together a full 3 minutes of coherent speech from that debate. The person who clipped this deserves a raise.

[jxjciss]

One thing is clear from this debate: Biden is too old for the job and Trump is far too crazy for it.

[cynthiagonzalez]

😂 I feel like I’m watching two little children fighting…

[BuffPomsky]

Bro...can we just have a candidate who doesn't look like a grandpa?

[TheSAD]

Trump - "We are closer to ww3 than anyone could imagine"
Bidens response - "Youre a whiner" 😂 what did i just watch?

[clisig]

The sad thing is both of these men needed to retire long ago. No matter who wins America loses. We are now a divided nation thanks to Trump. We are not in a good position as a nation. The American people used to be tolerant and willing to compromise for the betterment of all. Now we are force feeding our personal ideologies on one another in the name of the lie.

[lindafinch]

Two angry and demented old men; this is what we have to choose from.

[kevin]

If you watched this full debate you would know that they cut Biden off multiple times because he made no sense

[BoBoAnderson]

This is most definitely embarrassing for the nation

[MadMonster]

Is this really what we have been reduced to. Two fully grown men arguing and bickering about each other rather than the problems in our country

[gabanzocoolness]

they didn’t even get the subtitles on joe right because he was too hard to understand 😭😭

[JetSpookus]

Future Historians have never been so ashamed

[Littlespaceoctopus]

Why do we only have these two options with so many competent people in this country?

[margieremington]

This is a highly edited selection that does not represent the totality of the debate. This type of editing contributes to inaccurately informing the public of the cognitive decline of our sitting president.

[MBBB]

They cut out all of the parts where Biden was mumbling incoherently, looking super confused, and saying things that didn't make sense, e.g., when he said that his bringing down the price of insulin would reduce the FENTANYL debt

[iconoclast]

This is amazing editing trying to make Biden look good and he still looks bad. The entire debate was a nightmare compared to this edit

[garymorris]

Last year, when Joe was asked about his fitness for office, he said, "Watch me, " Well, we watched you Joe, and you are NOT!
