Pulling up for this specific thing, I think what I find irritating about the overall rush to claim "right and wrong" in debates is that often it seems like some people care more about claiming that victory than actually seeing the thing they want to happen occur. I say that not knowing what this poster's political preferences are. But we see this in the FOI forum too - where there are some who would rather see the Flames lose if it proves they were "right" by their interpretation.
But beyond that - it is just too binary an interpretation and that's part of what's wrong with our world. Too much right/wrong, this/that.
If Biden were to lose tonight, there would be a number of conclusions you could draw - including that he was or wasn't a strong enough candidate. But that's just one of many factors - with others including the effectiveness of their overall campaigns, the ability to get out of the vote, and perhaps most disturbingly - a hypothesis that perhaps this is just what America is....that the underlying themes of Trumps' campaign and who he is - is simply what is wanted by more of them....and therefore no candidate would win.
A scary thought.
Hopefully the above explains my knee jerk reaction. I see the desire to claim right/wrong as one of the real problems with the world right now
Back to the matter at hand....
