"Both idiots" frustrating work conversation

[XanaDUer2]

At work today, minus one Democrat, the general feeling was that both Biden and Trump were awful. I pointed out the Biden did a great job, stayed on point, was presidential, and laid out his policies. Even when Trump went low, and low he did go.

I felt that, because Trump acted crazy and like a dumpster fire, people are holding that against Biden. What the Hell is Biden supposed to do when he was being interrupted constantly, talked over, put down. I thought he stayed rather calm and I was glad to finally hear someone tell Trump to shut his yap.

I hope a lot of others are not viewing Joe through a lens like this because of TRUMP'S behavior. I am still upset about hearing this. Maybe because we were at work people thought they should complain about both sides? Just had to get this off my chest.

So frustrating. I, personally, think the debate made Trump look even more deranged to the average swing voter.

1. I just hope they get a lick of sense...

Their foolish indulgence in such superficial opinions could cost us all our democracy. And the implications of no longer having a democracy are sobering, dark and dystopian. Their lives could change beyond their ability to comprehend right now.

That's all there is too it in the final analysis.

2. I've heard from a few fringe acquaintances...

My gut feeling is they want the false equivalency to justify their vote for asshole45.

3. It's people being intellectually lazy, while at the same time trying to appear informed. I

hear it all the time. Some people take pride in their misguided neutrality.

4. Tell them the same thing I do- "Then you have a choice between the idiot

who will save your SS, and make sure your children with pre-existing conditions can get insurance, or the idiot who is so bad that people are afraid to get new vaccines with him in office."

Their choice.

5. Trump lost but neither one came out looking amazing.

Biden did 'well' under the circumstances but it was a frustrating shit show.

The race will probably remain unchanged which is a 'win' for Biden.

6. I agree with you and I also heard similar comments from people who have a very limited

understanding of politics other than to show up once every 4 years and vote in presidential elections.

7. I bet

I thought VP Biden did very well under the circumstances and it's not his fault the Orange Menace was reaching in his diaper and flinging his shit. I hope your coworkers cop a clue. I guess I'm lucky. Everyone in my office, regardless of political affiliation, hates his guts.

8. I am still working from home but hubs back at work.

Guy my husband worked with today is a huge dumpster fan and is always mouthing off about him. Did not say one word today. zilch. zero. nada.
