    Fact checking Trump is pointless. The people who don’t like him know every word out of his mouth is either a lie or a personal attack. The people who like him either don’t care or won’t believe you.

    Fact checking Biden at that debate is pointless because everyone on both sides is going to care about how he lost his poise and fumbled so many words.

          A fraction of undecided voters may decide the next election, and they might be weighing whether they care more about Biden’s age or Trump’s lies. I think fact checking could matter to those people too. No one is swaying Trump voters.

          This liner of reasoning is useless. People have been repeating it for 6 years and the inky thing it does is promote apathy in the undecided and convince cultists that they’re right

      Yea but I always like reading Trump fact checking…. It’s like playing where’s Waldo where what you are really looking for it anything, anything at all that he said that is actually true.

      I don’t think the substance of the debate matters that much though, if at all.

      Biden looked so pathetic. All he had to do was go out there and talk about what a failure Trump is, then make fun of his small hands. Biden instead looked like an ailing grandfather in hospice with dementia

        You got a downvote for speaking the truth. Every media outlet is reporting on Biden not looking good out there. This isn’t just biased reporting from one side to make Biden look bad. I’m a big fan of Biden and all he has tried to do AND actually done in his time with a split legislature, but watching the clips of him was rough. He actually talked about playing golf with Trump during a debate???

          I don’t really care about downvotes… my instance doesn’t keep them tabulated so I have no idea what my score is or whatever
