Trump lied and Biden got tongue tied at the first debate. So why is the world only focusing on one?

Biden had a bad debate night. That doesn’t mean we can ignore Trump’s lies

Question I've been asking since the debate.

I'm Canadian, and Trump and his Project 2025 scares the ever loving crap out of me.

Why doesn't it scare you guys?

It does, that's why we want a stronger candidate than Biden. Everyone already knows where Trump stands on things and has for years at this point so shining a light on it does not help. It shouldn't even be close and yet it is because the Dems keep trying to jam candidates no one likes down our throats.

Personally speaking I don’t think the wealthy elite of the US will back a fascist coup anytime soon. In all the history of fascism, it’s usually only been supported by the powers that be when said powers are threatened by an organized radical left. No such left really exists in the US. Until that time, I expect nothing to fundamentally change about the slow decline of the US and the two party system.
