For the Trump v Biden Debate we have around 200 users chatting. For the Trump v Kamala Debate we had around 160 users. I'm not sure how many people will be interested in the VP debate.

I am playing it on this channel because the other channel uses peertube, which can potentially share your IP address to other users. This channel will not have peertube.

I will have news commentary playing in the channel before the debate and potentially after the debate as well.

Walz coming out of the gate with uncritical support for Israel's right to start World War 3. Absolute Joy Reich shit.

[-] Doubledee@hexbear.net 34 points 4 days ago

Yeah gonna get a lot of ammo for dealing with him after this I think. He finally has to say stuff out loud

[-] brainw0rms@hexbear.net 46 points 4 days ago

I laughed out loud at the insanity of that first question tbh. "Would you support a preemptive strike on Iran? You have two minutes." agony-deep

Real Amerikkkan question for sure.

I can't take this any more. They're just arguing over who can more efficiently implement a fascist vision for America. Fuck this place.

Love how dems will just straight up lie in front of everyone and we're considered crazy for not believing them.

[-] SocialistMonk@hexbear.net 1 points 20 hours ago

Not only that, we are considered trolls for not believing them. lol

[-] Dickey_Butts@hexbear.net 32 points 4 days ago

Waltz said the same thing and I definitely don't believe his ass either.

[-] bigbrowncommie69@hexbear.net 28 points 4 days ago

"Politicians are all liars"

"Yes"

"Harris, Waltz, Biden and the other Dems are all career politicians"

"Sure"

"Therefore, the Democrats are also liars"

"You're just a Russian bot who wants Trump to win"

[-] SocialistMonk@hexbear.net 2 points 20 hours ago

I am accused of being a Russian bot every day all day on lemmy.world. lmao

[-] bigbrowncommie69@hexbear.net 2 points 19 hours ago

Imagine thinking the bots are bothering with Lemmy, lol

And the only bots I've seen have been DNC ones tbh

[-] Sasuke@hexbear.net 48 points 4 days ago

having both candidates be able to form coherent sentences kinda takes the fun out of it huh

[-] Doubledee@hexbear.net 32 points 4 days ago

Yeah they're being all polite and shit. I stopped listening once it was clear this would be boring.

[-] Boredom@hexbear.net 43 points 4 days ago

I've finally reached the point at which I understand enough about politics to not pay attention to politics.

Vance is crushing, honestly

And then: Walz with a mealy-mouthed closing; Vance with a strong, sharp message that you deserve a house and a square meal, and reminding you that Kamala hasn't given that to you. And those baby blue eyes. It's too bad he's evil.

[-] brainw0rms@hexbear.net 34 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Yeah I'll be honest he's doing better than I was expecting. He's managing to not let himself get pinned down defending stupid things Trump, and even he himself has previously said, and has been fairly charismatic and articulate. Walz sounds incoherent at times, and keeps bringing up terminally-political-brained stuff without giving sufficient elaboration/context, so most normal people won't even understand what he's referring to. Vance is a piece of shit for sure, but he's surprisingly good at making Trump and himself sound palatable, if you didn't know better.

[-] FungiDebord@hexbear.net 28 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

if you didn't know better

Exactly. He's really deft at framing, esp. in giving the viewers a permission structure to support Trump, and giving assuring, flip responses while avoid being pinned on satanic GOP positions, which is leaving Walz blathering, trying to clarify.

[-] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 22 points 4 days ago

Harris and Walz need to stop bringing up Project 2025 in debates. All they have to do is say "no I don't support that, here's what I actually support". Immediate, easy deflect into a stump speech.

He's got the energy of a debate kid and the education of an Ivy League shithead. He struggles to appear like a normal person, not like a smarty pants fast talker.

[-] FungiDebord@hexbear.net 24 points 4 days ago

No wonder he's crushing at a debate then

Maybe the worst gaffe to have at that moment

as with the kamala-trump debate, the dems are gloating about the brutality of their border policy while the fascists accuse them of not being brutal enough. americans' blood lust is insatiable

thankfully i apparently missed the part about palestine

That sounded mean after I posted it, I hope everyone that cares about this has fun

[-] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 20 points 4 days ago

It's less about caring about it and more about experiencing this vile shit with comrades

Cackling as Walz is dropping spaghetti trying to evade his fib that he embellished his Trot credibility by being at a very terrible Tiananmen Square protest.

[-] Sasuke@hexbear.net 25 points 4 days ago

the-democrats have to stop trying to make "politics of joy" a thing

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 17 points 4 days ago

Sounds like Walz got ez clapped.

But it still pisses me off they use “joy” and not “optimism”. The former just reeks of self-infantilization.

Lmao the questions seem to be weirdly pro-Trump for CNN. There's this question about calling Walz out on a lie about going to China during Tianamen Square. Kinda just bizarre.

[-] brainw0rms@hexbear.net 22 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

It was funny how when he "answered" the question it sounded more like he was getting defensive about going to China at all, rather than just saying "well damn I guess I forgot the exact details of something that happened 35 years ago" even when they asked for clarification, he just kind of reiterated the original claim that he was there during the protests lol.

Mom: "We have the sons debate at home"

The sons debate at home:

WNBA playoffs are on tonight. Anyone who watches the debate over Aces v Liberty is a fuckin dweeb

off to a strong start with a hitler-off on palestine (walz won't even say the word 'palestinian' lol)

Excited to realize Walz is absolute shit and abandon all hope for 2025

[-] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 30 points 4 days ago

Not to be rude, but how do you have any hope for 2025 still?

[-] BashfulBob@hexbear.net 21 points 4 days ago

Hope springs eternal.

But I feel like it gets extinguished earlier every year.
