The final presidential debate of the 2020 election season was much more measured and less chaotic than the first debate. President Donald Trump and Joe Biden debated their differences on the handling of the coronavirus pandemic and their stances on energy, while still saving some time to lob accusations about Hunter Biden, Rudy Giuliani, foreign entanglements and racial issues.

As always, Georgians shared their wit, insights, questions and gripes about the debate on social media. Here are some of your fellow Georgians’ observations from the left, right, center and the politically neutral.

I prob would have hated those if I was raised here but I do love these debates. We don't get any of these where I come from.

Debate was much more mature tonight. As per usual, R's and D's are both wholly certain their favored candidate won in a landslide. Shocker.

2 sides to this debate

Trump: Hope. We'll get through this together as Americans

Biden: Dispair. Rely on the government and we'll spend enough money to help us rich people and keep you on welfare. Screw small business owners, screw the middle class, we just need your taxes.

My favorite debate line of the night. Biden: Character is on the ballot. #DebateTonight

Screw who won the debate. Will somebody in #foxnews ask #ChrisWallace how he did such a terrible job. I would be all for #KristenWelker doing another debate.

Great debate. Two strong, passionate contenders and an absolutely superb moderator!

That was a lot of fun, America! #Debates2020

Biden lost on criminal justice reform debate and then looked at his watch. He wants this to be over.

Biden is running circles around Trump, but Trump's supporters are going to try to claim this is a win because it wasn't as bad of a beatdown as the last debate #Debates2020

Wtf is this debate, it’s “he did this” and the other person says “well he did this” and it just keeps going and we don’t know what’s true
— Zach Laney (@iZLaney) October 23, 2020

I’d make the argument that despite the president objecting to this debate format, it’s actually benefitting him more than Biden.

This is like watching your liberal dad debate your conservative father-in-law at thanksgiving dinner post-3 bottles of wine, pre-covid.
