Came here as an impartial Canadian and all I’ve found so far is a conspiracy theorist and an angry guy lol... normal for this forum?

Your own interpretation aside, I'd say you've been made privy to the average PaRD experience.

This is correct and a good point.

The Proud Boys are not the equivalent of Antifa or the KKK of old, no matter how much some people in the media and on the left want to make people believe that is the case.
They occasionally have a scrap with violent communists. Its not widespread violence and rioting and its not targeting innocents and police.

They are brought up and misrepresented as an attempt to deflect from the rampant left wing violence and to pretend there is an equivalent on the right when there is not.

They are misrepresented as white nationalist by some left wing media for sure. That doesn't mean they don't seek clashes with Antifa. That's their jam and its disingenuous to say otherwise.

Not reading through all the die hard Trump or Biden supporters

But from a neutral perspective who hates both of them

HOW the hell does Trump not get destroyed for blatantly refusing to condemn white supremacists? Guy literally fell right into the racist reputation and pretty much sealed the deal with that one. He's afraid to speak out against racists because he knows many of his voters fit that criteria. Shot himself in the foot so bad with that one, as if him freaking out being all agitated interrupting everyone the entire debate wasn't enough.

Biden won by default, because Trump just made himself look stupid the more he spoke.

We are so fucked either way.

He has condemned white supremacists on multiple occasions, such as the Charlottesville comment on "great people on both sides" -- read the full quote. He condemned them on his 4th of July Speech. He's proposed designating the KKK as a terrorist organization just last week.

But I get what you're saying. I agree that was a dumb move.

I'm guessing he suddenly got caught off guard by Wallace + Biden both telling him to just repeat something all of a sudden. Not sure why else he wouldn't do it.

Some early polling:

How can you really accurately poll that though?

If you hate Trump, you will rate his performance as shit.
If you hate Biden, you will rate his performance as shit.

Both were.. yeah.

I enjoyed it though. Definitely felt like watching WWE. Lol

Antifa is a terrorist organization. They are responsible for billions in property damage and tens of murders.

Yeah, I said they scrap with violent communists (antifa).

Thats not necessarily an inherently bad thing and isn't akin to initiating violence on innocent people and property.

President Trump didnt cover himself in glory tonight. Didnt self-destruct completely either. so just like 2016’s first debate when Hillary had low expectations and performed quite well (as should be expected of a lifelong politicial figure) whereas Trump did his usual rant and rave.

I expected more of Biden due being a lifelong swamp demon and his takedown of Paul Ryno in 2012. He has show he is a fantastic winner of debates at times (not to be confused with good debater) and tonight he looked awful but sounded pretty okay. Trump looked fine but sounded brash and unprepared (shocker).

that said there will be 2 more debates plus the VP one which really helped Trump’s ticket in 2016.
