It was never going to be anything close to great.

I don't know either one well enough to tell them apart. The whole event was just to get new audiences into boxing, but the scripted feel of the fight is sure to upset long standing fans.

It was an overly hyped fight, with months of build up. When the time came, it was underwhelming, boring, and obviously just a show. It was not a competative endevour, but two big names trying to play at boxing without hurting the old man.

Tyson kept biting his glove, which people are saying was a code between the two fighters for Paul to take it easier on Tyson.

Perhaps your pipes are too wide.

Gunna have to hear out both sides until we're between a rock and a hard place.

I try to look on the bright side, we get to watch an empire collapse in real time through memes and stupid little videos on tik tok.

Very true, the vast majority of america is right leaning, even diehard dems, as the democratic party is easily center-right as it stands. The left, the actual left, sees they don't even have a hand on the wheel, and the moderate dems were alienated by Harris's commitment to genocide. It doesn't even matter, as the corporatocractic oligarchs are unchanged and unthreatened by democrats and republicans alike.

Of course it can work that way, we just saw it happen on Tuesday. Look at all the votes the dems lost between elections. All those protests, all the people demanding an end to the genocide in Gaza, all those people asking about cheaper rent and healthcare, those people asking about why there's still kids in cages at the border. Inaction, regardless of the outcome, does not equal support for the victor. But sure, let's homogenize the two major parties and make elections even more of a farce than they already are.

In some competitions, the lead of one competitor is obvious, and they lose because they screw up. It should not have been difficult for the party already in power, with a former prosecutor and career politician, to defeat the former gameshow host with 34 felony convictions.

Harris tried to appease the moderate republicans to try and pull from their pool, but alienated her supporters in doing so.
