Here we go, the first Presidential debate between Biden and Trump begins at 9 PM Eastern/6 PM Pacific.
How to watch it:

"The CNN Presidential Debate will air live on CNN, CNN International and CNN en Español, and via streaming on Max for subscribers and without a cable login on CNN.com. CNN will make the debate available to simulcast on additional broadcast and cable news networks.
You can also follow CNN’s live debate coverage on CNN.com, which will include analysis and fact checking."
"According to parameters set by CNN in May, all participating debaters had to appear on a sufficient number of state ballots to reach the 270 electoral vote threshold to win the presidency and receive at least 15% in four separate national polls of registered or likely voters that meet CNN’s standards for reporting.
Polls that meet those standards are those sponsored by CNN, ABC News, CBS News, Fox News, Marquette University Law School, Monmouth University, NBC News, The New York Times/Siena College, NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist College, Quinnipiac University, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post."
Edit And that’s it! Thanks for watching everyone!
tl;dw:
Consensus is Trump didn’t so much as beat Biden as Biden beat himself.
The real loser is CNN who failed to fact check anyone, and there were obvious fact checks on both sides.
If Biden is going to be replaced it has to be a huge name like AOC or Bernie. It’s too late to campaign anyone newer
The DNC would rather let Trump win than Bernie
Or AOC.
AOC technically won’t be old enough until October 13th, which I guess isn’t a problem for being sworn in in January. But I don’t see people voting for someone who just qualified weeks before the election.
I think technically she’s qualified now because she would be old enough when she takes office.
The larger problem is her gender and progressiveness. If Democrats switch horses now they need twice the amount of money and the most solid of supports.
Also, this is why we should have had a real primary. This would have come out months ago and he could have gracefully stepped aside.
Gavin Newsome? He’s got name recognition and notoriety.
Plus, he’s been moving to the right as quickly as he can for months, so the party should love him by now.
Nope.
Eh progress is a bus ride not an Uber. I’d rather a centrist than a fascist.
Wish Bernie were an option, but he’s got medical issues that make him ineligible.
Bro… AOC??? And I’m not stating this as a fact, but if Bernie became president and hiked up taxes for the wealthy, the wealthy will more than likely move their business to other nations. We need more jobs here and Bernie would cause job losses.
You are brainwashed if you think they will move their business to other countries. Number 1: they can’t. Number 2: moving to another country means they will lose the number 1 market in the world. Number 3: they still have to pay taxes on any money earned in the US.
They would move to another country to find cheaper labor…
Any company can leave the country… wat.
Regulations and money are big factors as to why a U.S. company would move its operations to another nation.
Moving operations and moving your business are 2 different things. No one is going to stop doing business here. You are very naive if you think labor costs and taxes will kill businesses. Who exactly is going to sell products here if everyone works in India or China?
We just witnessed businesses killed in California from the minimum wage increase. And if not killed, job losses:

What does that have to do with increased taxes? Again your business knowledge is severely lacking. Yes it’s very easy to scapegoat taxes and wages and claim that’s why your business closed when it was always poor business management. Payroll wages is tax deductible if you didn’t know.
That ice cream shop was established decades ago… many people in the area enjoyed going there. It had nothing to do with poor business management. Stop making excuses for taxing business owners exponentially.
lol poor business management. good grief.
