The debate is gonna be rigged, but not to give either candidate a tangible advantage. It's gonna be rigged to make both candidates look and sound like normal people with normal opinions who aren't currently decomposing alive. They can't do this for just Biden because whatever conditions he needs to appear normal in public are probably the exact same conditions Trump needs to do his thing.

It's not just, like, the room temperature and chair tilt, but also the camerawork and moderation that influence this, and those can absolutely be biased, though idk what the bias would even be since I'm not following this

In other words, it's going to be a complete snoozefest.
