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!
They’re letting Trump get away with murder here. I expected nothing but am still disappointed. He’s basically running with a hot mic while Kamala has to wait for her turn. Unbelievable.
Unsurprisingly he’s also bulldozing the hosts in typical fashion. They at least seem to occasionally try some pushback against him, but they seem woefully incapable of actually controlling him.
This tactic was one of the big reasons people voted against him in 2020.
It would be nice if they grew a spine and just muted him and talked right over him.
Yeah they caved in every time he wanted to talk but shut Harris down several times when she just wanted to call out his lies.
