The people trying to call out Biden from the audience remind of Side Show Bob stepping on rakes. Why would you try to do that when he has a microphone and talk back?

It seems to be a case where there’s massive increases in prosperity for blue collar workers but white collar workers have sort of stagnated.

This sort of improved prosperity for low wage workers is what people have claimed to want forever, but apparently when it actually happens they are mad.
Yeah, turns out they don't want to pay a little bit more for their burgers after all.

Because they want him to go off script, where he is frail.

I’m not watching it as I never watch debates or political speeches but broadly speaking this is why you don’t heckle a comedian. They have the microphone.

I think he is at his best off script because that’s where his humanity comes out.
To add onto my earlier comment.
I don't think they tripped him up. Couldn't tell if more than a few lines were spontaneous, and they weren't bad.

Can you believe the amount of evil people are to think what this guy is saying is bad for our country?

I don’t know, it certainly seems like Biden is killing it! He’s got one hell of a story to tell about his accomplishments.

Such a great economy when people can't afford homes, healthcare, nor education

What business is it of the fed gov to regulate the amount of chips in a bag?
Yeah, it sucks and there is a monopoly / collusion on making shrinkflation bad...
But is everything under the sun a nail for the fed hammer to smack?
Should actually enforce anti-trust laws.

While there are definitely problems and nobody thinks the housing crisis is more of an issue than me if you would like to point me to an era of more broad-based prosperity in the US I’m open to hear it.

How the hell is not being able to afford housing prosperity?

Oh @fskimospy is a really out of touch latte/limousine liberal. I find that their elitist takes are the actual elitist liberal takes that should be criticized vs the whole blanket elitist liberal criticism that is often thrown about very cavalierly about any liberal opinion. Limousine liberals like him, they are a net drain to our cause. So out of touch and such a turn off for people with actual problems.
