Watching this debate shows the trajectory that this country has been destined for from its onset. A nation founded on genocide, built on slavery, and empowered through imperialism now finds itself in an ever-increasing state of decadence. #Debates2020 #PresidentialDebate2020
The current president and a former vice-president spoke tonight about children in cages at our borders who will likely never see their parents again as a talking point, not a concern. #Debates2020 #PresidentialDebate2020
The majority of their respective statements are rooted in pointing out the failures and weaknesses in the other, not in highlighting their own strengths and successes. #Debates2020 #PresidentialDebate2020
Their comments on race and class in general and Black experience in the United States in specific show how disconnected leadership of this country is from so many of the millions of people who live in it. #Debates2020 #PresidentialDebate2020
The fact that they both are standing on this stage shows how far this country has to go in breaking the systems that favor every box of privilege that both of these elderly, white males check off along with so many others since those systems were first established. #Debates2020
They cast new meaning on the idea that anyone can be president in this country. #Debates2020 #PresidentialDebate2020
There is no way that either of them are the best leaders that this country can produce, but they are illustrative of the types of leaders that America currently allows. #Debates2020 #PresidentialDebate2020
