Yeah, and lies matter. The lies that Trump spews matter to the people dumb enough to believe them.

But don't call it "optics." That's a euphemism. Call it what it is: lies and bullshit for people dumb enough to blindly believe what their televisions and curated news feeds want them to believe. That's what political campaigns are - emotionally manipulative garbage to emotionally manipulate the ignorant.

I was speaking of the optics of Biden’s debate performance.

I'm not saying it doesn't matter. I'm saying it doesn't matter at all as much as people are saying it does.
