Any time Trump supporters do the "both sides" thing, you know their guy is losing.

Trump acted like a fool. Biden would've looked weak if he didn't get in the gutter a little bit.


Trump lost for sure.

The bar was set low for Biden - he just had to show that he was a living breathing human being with some mental capacity. He did that (marginally) and thwarted Trump's assault.

He had a long time to prep for that debate. It'll be interesting to see how the next ones go, if Trump can break through.

Last night was not too different than the first debate with HRC. Trump lost that, too.

So where is your evidence that they're racist?

You guys have provided nothing.


I'm not an expert on the subject, and don't know a lot about the proud boys, so let's talk about it and genuinely see if they are!

I googled "Unite the Right Proud Boys" and it seems Kessler, who organized the explicitly white supremacist rally on August 11th 2017, is a member.

So they have a very prominent white supremacist in their ranks. Even if they aren't white supremacist themselves, that seems to support that they don't exactly have a problem with it and are willing to support it.

Yeah doesn't sound like Charlottesville was a Proud Boys event.

I'm not seeing anything about this guy belonging to the Proud Boys, or really a ton of information on him at all for that matter.

Not calling out a white supremacist group makes you a white supremacist? BLM seems to not call out violent members for attacking and harassing people based on race or political belief? The Democrat party has never called out BLM by name?

One other Trump mistake. He made that debate so ugly and horrible that audiences for next debates will be smaller. And Trump needs people to watch, because Trump needs to turn things around. He just immolated the best of his last remaining chances to save himself.


Good point.

So this guy, Kessler, hosts a unite the right rally (which sounds like a pretty broad event broadcast). And tons of people show up -- some of which were white supremacists.

Kessler becomes a member of the proud boys, and that makes the proud boys a white supremacist group?

The Unite the Right Rally was not "some of which were white supremacists". It was explicitly a rally for white supremacists, where all the speakers were white supremacists, and they literally marched through the streets chanting "Jews will not replace us" and "blood and soil".

I am not saying that Kessler being a member means the proud boys are white supremacist, but it does mean they don't seem to have a problem working with and supporting known white supremacists.
