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.

I did it. I opened a private tab and checked Truth Social. Trump is obsessed with Walz misspeaking on school shooters. He also screamed in all caps that he would veto a national abortion ban. Also his usual weird fixation with the moderators’ ratings in other shows, and still asserting that anyone who said he lost in 2020 is lying.
Jd vance: the biggest threat to democracy is censorship
Fucking wild take
exactly . Trump wants issues to run on, not solutions. We just saw this as he tried to manipulate the senate to not fix things so he’d have the problem to rail against and run on. This is anti-American.
There’s the attack on intelligence by dismissing PhDs by basically calling them stupid and replacing intelligence with “common sense”, feels before reals.
The “experts” said shipping jobs overseas would save Americans money?
That wasn’t experts, that was business lobbyists and CEOs who wanted higher profits.
And Vance is simply refusing to answer the question about child separation. He simply won’t.
FYI, parody accounts are firing up, don’t get suckered:
Jack Kimble is a parody account.

Thanks for looking out, jordanlund!
OMG. Walz just fumbled.
Fentanol?
They will have the study in 2 weeks. Also, was it done by the evil experts we can’t trust?
Walz was way too soft on Vance and let him control most of the debate. I’m tired of Dems positioning themselves as diet Republicans, then acting like they are nothing like while saying how much they agree with a guy like Vance on things lol. Vance also loudly saying you weren’t supposed to fact-check me was embarrassing. Walz laid out actual plans and policy but that is not going to reach that crowd they are targeting.
What a crazy attack from Vance, why isn’t the Vice President fixing the housing crisis? Wasn’t Trump President and didn’t fix real issues with in his purview.
Walz just dropped the pet eating bomb back on JDs head.
Do we care or not care about the future? Vance what?
Why always do this crap, where they act like they’re not going to let just babble at their leisure and then they just do it anyway.
now vance is trying to make it that its the democrats who don’t believe in climate change. His argument is ridiculous given the signature ombudsman bill.
