Trump works really hard to paint “socialized medicine” as some terrifying boogeyman. Serious question for any of the non-US people in here. Would any of you guys be willing to trade your socialized health care for whatever the hell we have here in the US?
Nope. Absolutely baffling the opposition to it in the US

Your healthcare if you're upper-middle class and above is far superior to ours by all accounts, but ours is far superior for middle-class and lower, simply in terms of access and fairness, if not facilities.

I'm not actually a fan of the NHS due to the waste in it, but I'd have it every day of the week over your system and I think 99% of the UK, regardless of politics, would say the same. But an increasing amount of people would like to see serious reform of it too.
 
Repeal and replace was said millions of times by Republicans including Trump in 2016. It was such a clear cut campaign promise.

They haven't a clue today and never had one in 2016 what that actually looked like. It was a successful talking point/buzz phrase. Here we are and they still have no plan.
 
Trump started strongly but Biden has improved as the debate has gone on. 50/50
In all fairness has not been as bad as I thought he'd be in the debates (Biden).

By the way this is a good YouTube channel that looks deeper at body language and what messages they're really trying to give with their words. And no he's not a Trump supporter!

Absolutely not. State Healthcare by all means not the greatest in NZ, but my wife was in hospital for an infection for a couple of days earlier this year, it cost us about $25NZD sum total for her drug prescription. I imagine it would be a small fortune in the US if we didn't have health insurance over there.
 
Oh I think they do. Uniquely so actually. The issue with Biden, pretty much the sole issue, is one of competence. People are willing to bin Trump as long as Biden is competent.

He's looking... shaky here. Will it swing the election 10 points or whatever? No. But it may swing it by the odd one or two, and if the polls are wrong again that could be critical.

I want a Biden win - desperately - but he's poor here, and Trump has turned up a thousand times better than the first debate.
This debate does not matter.

Everyone already know its about two days geezers with memory issues. That won't be news to anyone and given Trumps behavior in the last debate this won't do any difference.

Trumps insanity is a daily occurrence as are his rants. So seeing him stand and say something cognitive for 5 or 10 minutes won't sway people.

Congratulations to his team they managed to get him to stay still stay quiet and actually answer. Wow massive achievement there.
