Tonight marks the first debate of the 2020 election cycle. Republican presidential incumbent Donald Trump will face off against Democratic challenger Joe Biden. The debate will be monitored by Chris Wallace, a Fox News analyst that ironically happens to be a democrat. The American people will be watching. Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, I think one thing that the world can agree upon is that this is must watch TV.
There are plenty of issues to be discussed tonight. For one, there is a global pandemic that everyone hates. I'm sure there will be plenty of questions asked as to how or when this pandemic is going to end. Next, there are riots all over the country. The two presidential candidates will be discussing the social unrest and how to make it better. There has been a growing divide in the country based on race. The two candidates also will discuss the economy. Ever since the Coronavirus started, the economy tanked, but Trump has been trying very hard to rebuild the economy despite the pandemic.
Without saying my political bias, this is definitely an important election. The fate of the country truly does depend on this election. This is the first time our country has ever experienced a pandemic of this magnitude. This is the most divided our country has been since the Civil War. Our economy has never taken the hit it took because of the pandemic. As a voter this year, I'm looking forward to listening to both candidates.
This year's election will surely be a very important one in our US history. After watching the debate, I'll say it was a bit of a let-down... Both candidates routinely dodged questions, interrupted each-other, and didn't take it seriously. Hoping for a more productive #2.
ReplyDeleteI agree that this election is important and that it should be interesting to see which leader is chosen for the next four years. Regarding this debate, it was slightly upsetting that issues were not properly discussed. If anything the debate highlighted the insane divide between both political parties and the pettiness associated with differing views. It was as if I was watching a heated political debate between two elders at the Thanksgiving table who tried to talk over one another.
ReplyDeleteThis year's election is definitely important, especially since we're so close to being adults. It's important that we pay attention to this country's politics right now as I think some of us are already eligible to vote. I too was disappointed by the outcome of this first debate and felt that there was more bickering than actual informative arguments or discussions. Hopefully, the next one will be better! I totally agree with what Sarah said about the elders at Thanksgiving ^
ReplyDeleteWhile this election is extremely consequential and this debate is very important, I feel that it is important to stres to everyone to not get too hung up on politics as it truly does bring out the worst in people.
