It's crazy that anyone believes they're going to glean anything from this. What question do people think is going to get resolved here? Is there anyone who seriously doesn't already have their mind made up about both of these guys?
Trump is going to do his vague, rambling spiel about how immigrants are rapists and gish gallop around the stage while Biden is going to get all misty-eyed about how much pork barrel spending he managed to pass over his term and give a bunch of empty euphemisms about "coming together" or w/e. Maybe say something racist about Palestine.
What are people hoping to get out of this? Honest question.
We're all desperately hoping that upon seeing Trump in a real life situation instead of a fucking game show, his cult will wake up.
You know that all the trumpets will see the next day is a compilation cut on Fox of everytime Biden stutters or says "uh." Trump could admit he went to Epstein Island to have sex with underage girls and none of his cult will see it, or say CNN deepfaked the statement.
Because a ton of people haven't been following this stuff and need to be reminded of who Trump is and what policies he represents.
Ok, but for real, do you genuinely believe there's anyone out there who forgot what Trump is about? He was in power for 4 years and he's been in the news every day since he left office.
I just don't get why people believe there's this elusive "undecided" vote that will be flipped if Trump just says one more crazy racist statement or something.
My aunt made a point of tuning into these sort of things when she was with my Trump voting grandmother. Listening and watching what a train wreck he is without the right-wing media filter I think was what ended up turning her into a Biden voter in 2020. I don't know if my aunt would have gotten through to her if she didn't have the debates and pressers to work with.
That's deeply depressing.
There are a lot of people who don't consume any news whatsoever. They're too busy trying to survive to remember shit from 4 years ago and just want their lives improved. If you aren't following this stuff day to day it's easy to forget just how cartoonishly insane that fucker is.

I think there is a small segment of voters that could be swayed by reminding them just how chaotic Trump was/is. We're playing with margins of 10s of thousands of votes in a couple states so every little bit is going to matter.
What do people hope to get out of watching an MMA fight?
Same answer here, they're just looking for entertainment. They have a man they like in the ring, and they're hoping he throws a few good punches at that other bad guy.
