Canada's state propaganda network, the CBC, set aside an entire evening to cover the Trump-Biden debate tonight. That in and of itself gets my dander up. Like, that's why we support CBC with our tax dollars?
That quibble aside, the debate itself was utterly cringe-worthy on every conceivable level.
If you take a few steps back and consider the big picture, there's not a lot of daylight between the two parties on any substantive issue.
That is why it is a triumph of epic and even historic import that the folks who own our information infrastructure have convinced a goodly slice of the populace that THIS IS THE MOST CRUCIAL ELECTION IN THE HISTORY OF DEMOCRACY!!!
I would say the most embarrassing part of watching democracy at work in the Exceptional Nation is the realization that this spectacle is the model they're relentlessly imposing on the rest of the world.
But, as a tactic to keep the rabble riled up against one another, I'm guessing our masters have scored a great success.
