I think all in all what I came away with from the debate was a sense of depression that we're using the presidential debate to talk about who's the bigger rapist.

We really need to have a national conversation about rape culture and how things like this "locker room talk" and street harassment all contribute to a mindset that downplays sexual assault instead of barking over each other to say whose rape stuff is going to make which candidate win. I am guilty of it but this debate was super triggering for a lot of people who have experienced sexual assault and we've turned it into jokes and entertaining polling percentage speculation.

I don't even know if that's what you meant but that's what depresses me and I don't know what to do about it.

Yeah I agree, but I'm not sure this is the way we should go about having that discussion. I feel like Trump is 99% at fault here but I just hate the fact that we're at this place where the race is so dirty and we can't talk about where we agree and disagree because we're talking about throwing the other candidate in jail and whether Trump or Bill Clinton is the bigger rapist.
