Yes. Precisely. And they shouldn't have. (Though your "literally every person" is a gross exaggeration.)
There is no way that a single 90-minute debate could have provided enough information for anyone to draw a definitive conclusion about Biden's fitness. Since I'm objective, my reaction was that I was concerned, but I wanted to see more. I didn't run around in circles flapping my arms and screaming "NO! NO! NO!"
And that issue hasn't yet been decided. We don't know whether Biden is fit for office or not--whether the debate was typical or atypical. Even you, unobjective Jerry, have to admit that what we've seen of Biden after the debate was equivocal.
As I said earlier, this decision wasn't about his fitness; it was about his chances of winning. And all I care about now is that Harris has a MUCH better chance.
You want predictions? I predict that by Election Day, Harris will be polling 6-8 points ahead of Trump.
