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 hear what you’re saying but do you really think young people watched the debate? Debates are really just for sound bites for ads and Harris got what she needed there. Most young people just ingest the debates via shorts on YouTube, TikTok, etc and it’s easy to pull out the best stuff for those.

    Trump’s biggest problem is he is essentially at his ceiling of voters, about 46%.

      While true, it has already begun. I had someone send me the Israel clips earlier, and another send me the dog eating clips. I think she got good sound bites, but in the end it might not have the desired affect.
