So, last Thursday - I did not watch any debate- I was on day two of a three day bicycle camping trip- no cell phone- no political worries. My only worry was if I had enough water to last me another day of riding. On the OC&E trail (stateparks.oregon.gov/...)water is both scarce and precious.
Nothing either candidate could say would have impacted me in any way. I knew my wife was going to attend a watch party- I felt I was in a better place. I have already suffered through one Trump presidency- I would never even consider voting for him no matter what he had to say in any debate. I will vote for Joe Biden even if I think his better days are behind him and I am fine with our current Vice President — Kamala Harris — being a heart beat away. So- yeah — debates have little if any impact on my outlook for the upcoming election. Hopefully, when the next debate happens, I will again be out enjoying the world and continue to be unconnected from the drama of debates.
