I was going to watch the debate and then I realized that I never watched any other VP debate and don't remember anyone even discussing anything about them ever and so I decided to go out and have a couple of beers instead.

Did like: The radiant smile when the moderator told the two that their microphones had been cut.
Did not like: "During the last four years, Kamala did this", "She had enough time, why didn't she do that", and so forth. Dude, she was not the President, and the President is not the King. I was waiting in vain for someone to point that out. Also, what's with using the first name all the time? Would he have done that if the VP was a man?
I figure it doesn't look good for prospective vice presidents to point out it's an almost completely ceremonial role, but I totally agree with you.

Depends on how ethnic the man's first name is compared to his last name.
Only if we're strictly talking about the Republicans. I know if the Democrats ever started playing that stupid game, we would call them out on it in a heartbeat.
Yeah he would because it's about the disrespect.
All that matters is what sound bites go viral.
I really want to hate this, but I can’t. Edit: and as nervous as Walz seemed, he delivered with receipts
“Undecided” = Trump supporter who’s too much of a wuss to admit it.
There’s also many many many people undecided about if they’re going to vote.
same shit
anyone who doesn't get it yet is too fucking stupid to ever get it.
There's a whole sea of white people who don't feel impacted by his social policies and don't understand how his economic policies hurt them. So they don't actually see a reason not to entertain the idea and make a comparison.
I'm both shamed and pissed that this race is this close. Shamed because I thought Americans had better critical thinking skills and pissed because our media refuses to explain the problems with Trump.
Pretty much, yeah.
Watching the full/raw debate? Absolutely, besides a few random people maybe. Since good clips and headlines about the debate should reach some undecided voters at least
(Edited for spelling)
"I staunchly disagree with some of the policies of that candidate...so I'ma vote for that rapist over there."
I had a conversation with someone last night after the debate who said "I don't trust Democrats not to take away our right to own guns, which is the cornerstone of all of our other rights. But I hate Trump with a passion. So I think I'm going to sit this one out."
I mean... I guess that's a start? But still crazy to me that people have this idea that electing a Democrat means that their guns will be taken away. Biden is current president and they still have their guns. So kind of a weird argument.
That's "thrice married, serial adultering, licentious, thieving, lying, self aggrandizing, covetous, bigoted, convicted criminal, rapist."
Gotta give credit where it's due.
You know things are not going well when nearly half the country is either ok with or enthusiastically supports having a morally bankrupt shitstain for a president.
