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’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.

    Harris’s campaign needs to meme the shit out of these moments and sound bites. So much good material.

    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.

    You can tell he’s so hurt by her saying 81 million people fired him and world leaders are laughing at him
