So I know all y'all are boss types and therefore probably like golf but I commented this on Reddit and I still can't get over it.

That exchange about golf during the debate struck me as the stupidest part of a very stupid evening. The right answer was something along the lines of "we're trying to save democracy, fuck golf." And instead it turned into alpha old dude pissing match.

And I'm not young. But I can't believe that there aren't plenty of other people who were watching who also regard the candidates' golf handicap as the very very least of our problems right now.

Well, I certainly hope Trump is the better golfer. He spent more time playing golf than attending to his presidential duties. That's something nobody will ever accused Joe Biden of!

I, too, found this infuriating. It was a ridiculous display of old man entitlement, a withered cock fight while the barn walls burn down around us all.

I will actively avoid men my age who talk about golf. Tim hates golf? Man, I _really_ hate golf.

Is that even allowed as a white guy in politics?

Stated reason for leaving Republican party--Donald Trump

Real reason for leaving Republican party--about to be outed as a golf hater. 🤣

I’m willing to stipulate that I’ve seen lots of better middle-school debates. Blechhh.

But the one we need to make sure we help step aside isn’t Biden.
