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!

That’t it! Thanks for hanging with it everbody!
I know it’s vaguely sexist, but I do think it would be helpful if Harris stopped doing that dismissive laugh so often. I don’t think she has a weird laugh, it just seems a little canned: “hahaha talk about extreme!” I imagine it’s hard when Trump says such laughable things.
I say it humanizes her, since most people watching are doing the same thing.
Yeah, I just mean less. She started her response the exact same way three times in a row. I don’t think she shouldn’t laugh, but the laugh was starting to feel mechanical, but then she didn’t do it, so I think she’s probably practiced pulling it back for better rhetorical effect.
