I'll be watching the debate on youtube and I'm not even an American.
I can understand why most Americans can't be bothered... because they've already made their mind up which way they'll be voting. Democrats are Democrats and Republicans are Republicans no matter what. The only ones maybe paying attention live in those few 'Swing States' where it actually might matter to them.
Right?

The only interest I have in this 'game show' is where it will lead on Foreign Policy. I don't care too much how either candidate handles your economy or your civil programs. If the one who wins screws things up over the next 4 years, it'll be a lesson for other democracies on what not to do and the opposite will be true if the winner improves America's well-being. These are win/win's for the observers like myself.
What matters to me are trade issues, military interventions and all other projections of American influence abroad. That affects everyone, no matter where they live, especially on a day where Turkey and Syria are trading shots across the border (hint: Turket is a NATO partner).
Priceless stuff, imho.
America is at a huge crossroad right now and the direction this election finally decides to go truly is a global event for that very reason.

I understand, being a senior myself.
There's no law saying anyone needs to care or even vote. You prefer not to care and I prefer to always be watchful, even if it's the Georgian election in Eastern Europe. This is your right and what I enjoy is mine.
Politicians are politicians, after all, and no doubt the rich odour of bull manure will be wafting over Denver long after the debate is done. I'll breathe it in and decide if it's healthy BS or the decidedly unhealthy kind.
