I'm not sure what the other commentors were hating on but I found this article to be a concise criticism of Drump's "debating" style contrasting with an appreciation of Biden's ability to actually debate. Drump wants to use these debates as an extension of his insane election rally's and I , for one, don't want anything to do with that.

Hillary Clinton is roughly the political equivalent of a grandparent who flunked out of high-school and never had a job giving the "firm handshake" advice about getting a job. It was cute in a naive sort of way the first couple times, now it just pisses you off.

That's a really facile statement. Look, I'm no Hilary fan but you have to admit that she's more than just some real estate loser wannabe (eg: Drump). This lady was Secretary of State under Obama and very nearly was the President of the USA (if there was a popular vote she would have been president).

Don't get me wrong, she would have absolutely been a competent president; but her campaign was so godawful, self-sabotaging, and unpopular that she actively encouraged trump to run and enabled him to win. Her decisions and opinions are an active detriment to the party she participates in, and she lacks the self awareness to recognize that.

I think we all saw the campaign through the lense of bot farms.
