Biden’s campaign proposed that the first debate between the presumptive Democratic and Republican nominees be held in late June and the second in September before early voting begins. Trump responded to the letter in an interview with Fox News digital, calling the proposed dates “fully acceptable to me” and joked about providing his own transportation.
Biden should not be debating an insurrectionist or giving Trump any king of validity as a candidate. He should be telling Trump to spend more time sleeping so he can stay awake at his criminal trials.
Debating Trump is just normalizing insurrection.
It’s not Biden who is giving Trump viability as a candidate, it is the Republican voters who are giving him viability as their nominee. They have seen all the stuff he has done and say “We need more of that!”
I agree, in theory, but the fact of the matter is that the voters determine who can be president, and there’s a large bloc that view Trump as a potential president. Ignoring the elephant in the room seems extremely problematic, especially when the right indicates that Biden is too senile, and incoherent to be president as it feeds into their message.
The voting bloc that view Trump as a potential president don’t matter, because they are unreasonable and certainly won’t be swayed.
Taking a stand against Trump as a candidate by pointing out reality could sway the reasonable, but apparently uninformed, people that need it to be reminded out that an insurrectionist who is facing a massive number of felonies can’t even stay awake in court.
Doing debates because of MAGA idiots validates the MAGA idiots. Acknowledge they exist, but don’t cater to their message.
