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!

    I don’t know how anyone can watch this and not feel Trump is exposed as being nonsensical and vindictive. I feel hopeful that Kamala is changing plenty of undecided minds, though I wish she’d been able to expand more on policy and less on Trump’s lies.

      Unfortunately i used to be like these mindless Trump supporters and i can tell you that the kind of person i was before my conversion was not one who would listen to facts that were contradictory to my stance

        What did it take for you to change? To see the light?

        Whatever it is, we need to bottle that and share it!

          I think i just grew up really. It kinda started when i was in my agnostic phase of my late teens. I then started to question whether everything i believed was as a result of my conservative family’s teachings or my own will. Fast forward a year later and I’m more of a left-leaning-centrist now than a die hard conservative.

          So short answer: Critical thinking

            I’m very glad that happened for you!

            Sadly, i don’t think Critial Thinking Cola will sell well amongst conservatives.
