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!
I’m generally watching this to see if there’s a performance that will genuinely move the polls, but I just don’t know. I tend to believe there are very, very few undecided voters, so I’m not sure anything could be said here that’s going to swing those voters. At this point it’s about not losing support and motivating your supporters.
In that regard, I think Harris is doing well, and I don’t think Trump has to do very well. His supporters just want him to communicate anger and hate. He has seemed able to barely trip over that very low bar.
I disagree. Harris is showing tact while Trump is acting like he’s backed into a corner. I think she’ll have won some voters.
I don’t think Trump feels he’s backed into a corner tbh. In his eyes everything Kamala says is bullshit
Bro, are you watching this? He’s screaming. He’s all wound up. He can’t control himself.
He’s always like that. Roughly half the country loves it.
