#2024 Debate

“They’re eating the dogs in Springfield!!”

“There are no credible reports of that”

“I’ve seen people on television saying it”

“They’re fact checking Trump but not fact checking Kamala” have you ever seen this image before yes or no

[cirquedesolaire]

Kamala's expressions are sending me

Like me too girly, judge his ass

[tinyluminaryzombie]

three small reminders for my fellow US ppl:

A lot of voters don't watch debates

this debate won't decide the election

Not voting is a decision, just like voting is one. Do I agree completely with Biden or his administration? Absolutely not. But putting my hands up and doing nothing isn't inherently more morally "pure." The consequences of not voting (or voting third party/write-in) are just as (if not more) heavy.

“Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people, and he is apparently having a very difficult time processing that.” — Kamala Harris

[gingerswagfreckles]

Things Donald Trump claimed tonight during the debate:

-The Liberals are executing babies after they're born (he said this about 15 times)

-Illegal immigrants are taking over entire buildings in NYC and killing the residents (in response to the question "is the economy better off than it was four years ago")

-Nancy Pelosi is the mayor of Washington (she is not the mayor of anywhere)

-Illegal immigrants are eating your pets and they will kidnap your cat and eat your cat if you vote for Kamala Harris

-Hungarian dictator Victor Orban is his good friend who claims that everyone "fears" Trump and this is a good thing

-He would end the war in Ukraine by getting Zelensky and Putin together and talking to them because they both respect him. And it would be over in 24 hours

-Kamala Harris has been "against defunding the police forever" and that's...bad? To Republicans? Suddenly?

-Illegal immigrants are flooding in to the country from "insane asylums," possibly confusing this with political asylum??

-Kamala Harris "puts out" (???)

-Biden has taken millions of dollars in bribes from Russia and China for reasons that he could not elaborate on

-Kamala Harris cooperated with the Taliban and gave them a bunch of money and "parts of our army"

-Kamala Harris is a Marxist

You heard it here first, folks! Don't let those nasty Liberals in the spin room confuse you!

TRUMP THINKING THAT ASYLUM SEEKERS MEANS PEOPLE FROM INSANSE ASYLUMS

[digital-mess]

Look, it doesn't matter if you don't like Joe Biden. It doesn't matter if he's old, or if he's not what we want, or if he failed his promises and continuously is failing his promises. We cannot let Trump win. If Trump wins, not only will that signifigantly worsen the Palestinian genocide (do you think Trump will ever listen to us about stopping? Do you know that he's planning to ban Palestinians from the country?) But it would ALSO lead to the genocide of queer youth The safety we currently have in this country can and will go downhill the moment trump's elected. Already we're fighting state legislatures for our freedoms, what do you think will happen when we have to fight an actively facist president too Donald trump is planning to ban abortion across the country, and forbid people from getting abortion pills. Do you want that? Donald Trump is planning to revoke protections against trans student youth. Do you want that? Donald Trump is planning to revoke all the work we've done on Climate change? Do you want that?? Do you like your pride months? Do you like the ability to even get an abortion in this country? Do you like the fact that we don't have a president who would turn its military against us? Do you like the fact that we even have a CHANCE to stop the genocide, instead of none at all? Vote. Biden. It doesn't matter if you don't like him, it will be the end of all the freedoms we have if we don't

godrick's big debate

[greyshadow63]

Isn’t “transgender illegal alien sex surgery” what they did to the guy in Rocky Horror

[violet-phoenix-nebula]

Debate thoughts:

Harris definitely could have answered questions about policies better, however after thinking about it a little more I think I have an idea of why she didn't.

She had two options:

Talk about her policies and beliefs, and allow Trump to basically do the same thing he did during the last debate, which was to calmly spew out his rehearsed lies and bullshit without sending up any red flags.

Forego direct answers to poke the dragon in the eye, rile him up and show the American people who they're voting for instead of trying to just tell them. She opted to get under his skin and expose him, showing the people who praised him during the last debate how he fares against a (no offense Biden) capable opponent.

I mean, she poked him into a ridiculous, unhinged rant about people eating pets in Springfield Smithfield? What? I was watching the whole time, I was (regrettably) sober and I still could not even begin to make heads or tails of that tangent. Frankly, I'll call that a win.

Nobody watching this to support Trump is wanting or expecting policy from him. And I think she made a calculated guess that undecided voters will be more likely to be swayed by him coming unglued than her talking policy.
