Final (?) Debate thread before the election in 35 days.
Debate begins at 9 PM Eastern, 6 PM Pacific and runs 90 minutes.
Vice Presidential debates are always tricky since nobody has voted for Vice President in living memory.
Expect Vance to attack Walz on his military service.
Expect Walz to attack Vance on the whole “immigrants eating cats and dogs” thing.
Expect Vance to attack Walz on being an assistant coach, at best.
Expect Walz to roll out “Weird!” at least once.
CBS has announced the burden of fact checking will be on the candidates themselves.

“Did he lose the 2020 election?”
“OH YEAH?!?! Well did Kamala Harris censor people?”
vance won’t answer if trump lost the 2020 election. oh its the lauph into cry now. man he is so weasily.
Walz: “Well I don’t run Facebook and Trump lost.”
Ha, fuck you. My life was destroyed by disability, and the only drug that was helping me went from $250 a month to $3000 a month between 2015 to 2017. Everything got worse, to the point I can’t even afford to live.
This especially pisses me off.
Fuck you Vance and fuck everything you just said. It’s all lies.
Who is banning books right now JD?!?
The pregnant pause from the moderator followed by her mystified question made me laugh out loud.
It’s crazy how… like. Normal? This debate is. I mean they obviously disagree on stuff, but there’s at least a baseline of respect here so far.
Vance: I did wanna answer your question, because you did ask it…
Narrator: He did not answer her question.
lol Vance did not want to answer that elector question.
“Under Kamala Harris’ leadership.”
I wish Walz would say that JOE BIDEN IS THE FUCKING PRESIDENT.
Vance literally said nothing about Trump’s healthcare plan. They still have nothing.
oh he is ducking the will he certify results as a vice president. ok so I got two good laughs.
A little more than an hour in…
Vance has been exactly as polished as expected, other than a slightly rough start coming off as robotic. He’s managed a few genuinely human-seeming moments, too, especially upon learning that one of Walz’s kids witnessed a shooting. But he’s been lying nearly constantly.
Walz isn’t as polished, but he’s been doing much better in that department than I would have expected, while still coming off as very nice and genuine. He’s had a couple of flubs, but none of them were debate killers, while he’s gotten in far more actual hits than Vance, by far. Like, it’s not even close.
There’s another thing: Vance is legitimately boring to listen to. I didn’t realize this before, but his voice could be used as a sleep aid.
I’m biased. I’ll own that. So take from this what you will: I think Walz is winning. It’s close, but I think he’s coming off as more honest and more real, while Vance is coming off as dishonest and plastic.
No, you dick. Walz was right and everything you said wasn’t true. Everything got worse under trump, and I have fucking receipts.
Do we care or not care about the future? Vance what?
