    Because of course it didn’t.

    Very little about climate, income inequality, money in politics, ranked choice voting.

    I swear to god, CNN and the rest of their ilk love hoodwinking the American public.

    It was so obvious neither candidate cares about this issue one bit. They literally ignored the question to squabble about other stupid bullshit. All while the world is burning. Truly one of the worst debates of all time.

        To a greater or lesser extent. Trump more or less completely refused to answer the one about climate change. Everyone is talking about Biden but that was also a stand out moment for me.

    Is this really a surprise? Both candidates are 80-year-old rich white men. They don’t give a shit about the environment personally, because they’re going to be dead before things get really bad. They don’t give a shit about the environment for the sake of their families, because their families have enough generational wealth to guarantee them a seat in the metaphorical ark. And when politicians have no personal investment in a cause they don’t talk about it. Shocker.

      They were asked, and Trump just gave blather which didn’t respond to the question. Biden responded to his blather

    The format really didn’t lend itself to substantive answers. Only 2 minutes each and 1 minute to respond to each other.
