I mean it's kind of hard to give an answer on those questions, or explain why you're not answering them directly, when the other guy keeps talking over you before your three words in. I don't think it's right to draw an equivalence between the two here. Especially when the other guy told a white supremacist group to "stand back and stand by". That's beyond the pale.

Biden seemed to, as someone who follows US politics from afar, give a bit more detail on actual policy and what he might want to do in the future throughout - although very little of that happened due to the way this "debate" was railroaded by Trump. Trump really just sniped with personal attacks, things from +20 years and bragged about things he claims he did these past four years. Didn't really talk about the future.

I fail to see how the taxes stuff does anything to impact the vote. As has already been said the takeaway is "He pays little to no tax": those who already don't like him already knew/thought this and those who do like him either block it out or don't care.

The undecideds and swing voters already know this and lie to themselves or even if they do care and think it's bad - it's not something that shifts how they vote. If they do choose to vote for him it's one other thing they hold their nose about as they tick that box.

DNC should primarily attack him on competence and anything that is fully provable and demonstrable. Can't just point out bad things he's said either. You can't just go to hispanic voters and go "You have to come out and vote blue, he called you all rapists". Yeah, he may have but if you're not also offering a compelling story about what you'll do for their lives they are likely to either hold their nose and vote for him because he does say something about that OR just not turnout at all.

I think talks of national security threats (can he be blackmailed because of his debt, Russia, etc.) even if legitimate always sound hyperbolic and do more harm to your campaign than the other. I remember during the Brexit vote one remain campaigning politician (I think it was the PM) talked about the possibility of a WW3 at one point. His general point was that the EU by keeping countries economically tied together for decades had lessened the chance of conflict amongst them that had been seen in the decades and centuries prior but, the headline takeaway was "PM says leaving the EU risks WW3" and it sounded ridiculous.

Separate to all of that, since I doubt it got much coverage over in the US. Channel 4 over here got access to the 2016 campaign database and did a piece on it. If you are unaware of how microtargetted voters can be these days it's worth a watch.

Can get three years of Game Pass Ultimate for the price of one by the way. Just buy three 12 month prepaid Live Gold cards, load them on to your account and then pay the £1/$1/€1 upgrade fee and all those months turn into Games Pass Ultimate months.

I got the S too. The display I'll be hooking it up to is only 1440p anyways so it's all I'll need for now.

What's everyone's Lockdown II plans? Me, I'm getting a new Xbox.

The virus is over. Shhhh.

If we don't talk about it, it doesn't exist
