Was tempted to call this “Debate 2: Electric Boogaloo” but a) A lot of Lemmy won’t get the OG reference. and 2) “Boogaloo” has been co-opted and carries an unfortunate connotation these days.
Also, while it’s Trump’s 2nd debate of the season, it’s Harris’s first…
It’s being run by ABC News at 9 PM Eastern time, 6 PM Pacific, I see MSNBC starts their coverage TWO HOURS EARLY. That’s a lot of air time to fill, guys. Good luck!

That’t it! Thanks for hanging with it everbody!
Right now at the one-hour mark I would say Harris is winning the debate 65/35. But, I think for his supporters and undecideds already leaning his way, this hasn’t moved the needle. That’s more the result of the fact that his supporters are in the CoOM: Cult of Orange Man.
More like 90/10 and that’s a very generous 10%. Trump has literally said nothing of substance or consequence. He is a foreign agent, spreading both very stupid and very treasonous propaganda on a national stage he has no business on.
Yes, but the undecideds are likely leaning Harris now. He’s just coming off as angry, rambling, dishonest, and unable to answer a question.
I will say that about a year ago i was full MAGA. But now, I’m a bit more left leaning. Although that may be due to me stepping out of my cringe teenage phase
Realistically though, what could possibly move the needle for anyone who saw the shitshow he’s already caused and is still on board?
I mean yeah, that’s pretty much how elections have been. There are no independents after all, just partisans that won’t admit they’re partisans.
