"Historic Showdown: Biden and Trump Face Off in 2024 Presidential Debate"

That debate was a dumpster fire, a debate that both candidates didn't want to attend and my only question to myself, after forcing myself to watch this political train wreck,  "we have one person who is showing signs of slowness and the other, a convicted  felony with more legal cases in the pipeline, this is the best these two parties have to offer?"

The debate ended with no music, just deafening silence, which reminded me of a famous pop culture quote:

"I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened." Obi-Wan

That silence felt like a funeral,  a funeral of choice.

Consumerism is about choices, but for the oval office, realistically, we have only two choices and this is the best? 

So I used the latest AI system from Open AI, chatgpt 4.o to analyze the debate to make it more to tolerable for consumption, because not everyone is a news/ podcast/ pre print junkie like me, a newsaholic. Here is what chatgpt wrote about the winner of this debate. 

"Determining a winner from the Biden-Trump debate on June 27, 2024, is subjective and depends on various factors including individual viewer perspectives, media analysis, and subsequent polling data. Here’s an overview of the key elements that might influence who could be perceived as the winner:

Biden's Strengths

• Climate Action: Biden's focus on climate change and green energy initiatives highlighted his commitment to addressing long-term environmental issues, which could resonate with younger voters and environmentally conscious individuals.

• Healthcare and COVID-19: Biden's defense of the Affordable Care Act and the administration's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic might strengthen his support among those prioritizing healthcare access and public health​ (TV Insider)​​ (Ballotpedia)​​ (Election Central)​.

Trump's Strengths

• Economic Critique: Trump’s critique of the current economic situation, particularly rising inflation and the cost of living, might resonate with voters feeling economic strain. His promises of tax cuts and deregulation aim to appeal to business owners and those favoring a free-market approach.

• Polls and Surveys: Immediate post-debate polls and surveys from various news outlets and polling organizations showed a split in public opinion, with each candidate’s supporters claiming victory.

Key Influences on Perception

Conclusion

The true impact of the debate on the 2024 presidential race will unfold over time as the candidates continue their campaigns and more debates take place. Public perception of the debate winner is influenced by multiple factors, including media coverage, voter priorities, and the candidates' performances on key issues." -Chatgpt 4.o

After reading chatgpt's summary of the debate, I felt that it didn't measure who would be the best person in the oval office seat for a second term. So I turned to chatgpt to ask about what these one term presidents has done in their presidency.
