Debate sabotage: The first presidential debate between Biden and Trump in 1980 and 2020 have raised concerns of sabotage, with Biden's perceived cognitive struggles and Trump's strong performance intensifying efforts to imprison Trump and causing panic within the Democratic Party
The first presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump in 1980 could have been used to sabotage Biden's candidacy, and some believe it might be happening again this year.

The moderators, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, were commended for their performance during the first 30 minutes, as they focused on important issues and didn't let their bias show. Despite their past criticisms of Trump, CNN acknowledged Biden's poor performance and the resulting panic within the Democratic Party. The debate format, which included no live audience and muted mics, should have favored Biden but didn't prevent Trump from delivering a strong performance.

Overall, the debate highlighted the stark policy differences between the two candidates on various issues, including abortion, the economy, and foreign policy.

While some argue that words hold no meaning and everyone is just making different noises, others believe that respect for oneself, family, name, and organization should be upheld, especially in public settings. The incident also brought up past allegations about Redick's contract with his team, which underscores the importance of living a life beyond questioning and carrying oneself appropriately. The lack of response from the Lakers organization and the defense of Redick's behavior by some highlights the current state of society's values and the need to hold individuals accountable for their actions.
