Recap on the First Presidential Debate

For now, one thing is for sure. We’re facing the real threat of falling into fascism, and far from even having the journalistic responsibility to “look outside the f*cking window,” we suffer debate moderators hurtling our democracy down that bottomless pit. In last night’s debate, between breathtakingly incompetent moderators, a perennially lying Donald Trump who refuses to say he’ll accept the results if he loses, and a President Biden unable to articulate his point in any effective sort of way—there were no winners, only losers.
Namely, the American people and the hopes of a functioning democracy.
