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!
Live updates, how and when to watch, debate rules, etc. here:
One thing I'm trying to be mentally prepared for: Trump doing reasonably well. He's not a good debater, and he's not even going to debate, he's going to try to put on a show. But while the man has very few actual skills, brainless spectacle is one of them. So I'm trying to be prepared for that.
I don't think there's any doubt that Harris herself will do well, I just think it's a good idea to recognize that the format does indeed play to Trump's strengths and puts band-aids over his (very deep) deficiencies.
Good thing you prepared because he is absolutely cooking Kamala so far. Jesus fucking christ.
Edit: She is doing slightly better after getting warmed up. The moderation with the microphones has been horrendous though. They are letting that stupid cocksucker capitalize on rebuting every time he wants to. She needs to start attacking him. Hit the low blows. Take the fucking gloves off.
