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 ā€œimmigrants eating cats and dogsā€ thing.

Expect Vance to attack Walz on being an assistant coach, at best.

Expect Walz to roll out ā€œWeird!ā€ at least once.

CBS has announced the burden of fact checking will be on the candidates themselves.

    Itā€™s crazy howā€¦ like. Normal? This debate is. I mean they obviously disagree on stuff, but thereā€™s at least a baseline of respect here so far.

        Oh definitely, I just kind of forgot how debates can be when his dumbass isnā€™t in the room.

          Canā€™t wait for him to be completely gone. The neverending circus is making us forget normal things.

            I canā€™t wait for trump to be in prison, rotting away with no ability to communicate with the outside world; watching out the window as the world forgets about him in 3 or 4 news cycles.

              Thatā€™d be awesome. It wonā€™t happen though. Most heā€™ll get is house arrest.

                Heā€™s physically incapable of shutting up and you can bet your ass a condition of house arrest is not stirring shit or fomenting another insurrection.

                Either way, itā€™s the ā€œbeing forgottenā€ that I care about heh.

      There isnā€™t really much respect.

      The key is that both of them are basically reading their scripts. Walz because he is inexperienced and vance because he has clearly been yelled at for saying stuff his orange overlord does not like. But they are both making it a point to key in on one or two words the other person said to make it sound like they are listening or whatever.

      Yeah, it was a very respectable debate, which is a nice change of pace. It gives me hope of eventual political ā€œnormalizationā€ or Vance is very good at being an absolute snake.
