MODERATORS
Walz should have just called it out right there: your running mate is a reality denying narcissist, and you're his lapdog. You won't say he lost because you're scared daddy will yell at you if you do.
Walz drove it home on the threat to democracy, and Vance had nothing to respond.
Damn I was a bit worried that we weren't going to get the decisive soundbite, but all anyone is going to talk about tomorrow is going to be the "did Donald Trump lose?" mic drop. Absolutely savage.
Vance after the Debate
Well, what about Facebook though? What about censorship? What about that baby hippo on Tiktok? What about Flintstones vitamins?
Wait there’s more? I am going to bed.
Walz: "Well I don't run Facebook and Trump lost."
Do we care or not care about the future? Vance what?
vance won't answer if trump lost the 2020 election. oh its the lauph into cry now. man he is so weasily.

Who is banning books right now JD?!?
You'll still be able to buy Hillbilly Elegy and that book Melania wrote that her husband didn't bother to read.
Hillbilly Elegy has very appropriate passages for children. Like when his Mamaw asked him if he liked to suck dick when he asked her if he was gay.

I can’t watch anymore. Vance is riling me up too much and I’m not seeing enough pushback.
Cheers all, it’s been … interesting.
Vance: I did wanna answer your question, because you did ask it...
Narrator: He did not answer her question.

Jd vance: the biggest threat to democracy is censorship
Fucking wild take
Trump just said he wants to lock up anyone who criticizes the Supreme Court, but self-admitted misinformation being removed from Facebook is the real problem

And yet you somehow turned out to be a gross little shit
Senator Vance, are you a traitor?
Forget everything I said before. I have a new answer now. I will go back to my old answer the second I step off of this stage. You aren’t allowed to fact check me.
"I don't really want to talk about the 2020 election, so Google sucks and also Tulsi Gabbard and RFK, Jr. likes me."
lol Vance did not want to answer that elector question.
Solving those things in the past! Stop worrying about the future!
LOL! "All Trump has said is that he wants to debate whether or not he won the 2020 election." Sure, JD. Sure.
oh he is ducking the will he certify results as a vice president. ok so I got two good laughs.
Vance won't answer the question about the 2020 election fraud by trump
We'll induce more people into child care!
(Aunt Lydia has entered the chat)
I love vance pointing out that maybe they don't want to be with their baby after its born.
The pregnant pause from the moderator followed by her mystified question made me laugh out loud.
We'll have tremendous healthcare, and I'll make China pay for it!
pretty sure America has legalized slave labour via the prison system
Is that what he thinks trump is saying or is that what he knows his running mate his saying?
How will we handle child care at a federal level?
Vance: Long stream of bullshit, followed by “give federal money to churches.” Tax credit? Paid leave? Fuck you.
Fuck you, you don’t know difficult.
I don’t know how much more of Vance’s bullshit I can listen to. And especially his church bullshit. We’re not all young girls (my son is 27) wanting to be livestock in a church community. Some of us are atheists. But I guess I should just go die because I’m not useful anymore.
I think they're both full of shit about the ACA. Vance delivered lies and a nothing burger of a proposal. Walz said the system works. Pre and post trump it never worked. When it was mandatory, I was on the benefits cliff and couldn't afford the awful insurance that covered nothing (that also had an enormous deductible). I missed rent because of my state mandated health insurance. When trump made it voluntary, I had more money in my pocket and I still couldn't afford healthcare.
The ACA is fucked and needs to be replaced with a real socialized health system. Health insurance is corrupt and contrary to healthcare on a fundamental level. It should be abolished and outlawed.

Moderator: "How long should companies pay for family medical leave?"
Walz: "That's negotiable."
Vance: "What if their church wants to pay them for childcare?!"

ok JD we get it your kids are beautiful
I’m beginning to think he doesn’t even have a family… he brings them up at the weirdest times.
Did you know that JD Vance has "three beautiful kids?" Because he's told us three times. I'm wondering if he knows their names.

Bust unions and give the rich tax breaks is the spirit animal of not just Trump, but all the GOP.
