my big take-away from last night's debate

One good thing about the debate last night: when someone talks about it, you can quickly and accurately tell what sort of person they are...

-"Biden was terrible." = GOP partisan, willfully or unwittingly blind on matters of politics

-"Trump was terrible." = Dem partisan, willfully or unwittingly blind on matters of politics

-"Biden and Trump were terrible." = 3rd party partisan and/or grounded in reality...

-"What debate?" = politically healthy and/or apathetic

My counsel when you run into the first two: 

a.) try to keep your smile/grimace to yourself; 

b.) question their character and judgment more broadly-- and hope that it's a narrow problem; 

c.) pray for their political idolatry; and 

d.) try to avoid them, at least until T-day.
