I don’t need another DOPE thread opened.
LOL, I can relate to that, man…
My debate party. Pork Carnitas, vodka and weed. Some of all the above have been consumed with T-2:00 to go.
I vote for making this the watch along thread.
T -2:00 (hours?) to go. Are you from the future?
Maybe they started the booze and weed a tad too early?
Hey, us debate watchers need to practice, too.
A vodka/weed/pork carnitas dry run is just good preparation.
Harris is sticking with the debate schedule Trump and Biden originally agreed to. She’s made it clear that any future debates are contingent on him showing up tomorrow, since he already tried to chicken out of this one in favor of a Fox News spectacle.
The two debate plan (the first was with Biden) was agreed to a while back by both the Trump and Biden camps. So this is the second debate.
Why 3 debates weren’t agreed to initially is unknown, at least to me.
ETA: what @Smapti said.
The Commission for Presidential Debates wanted three debates in September and October, like usual, but the Republicans refused to agree to the Commission schedule because they were UNFAIR to Big Baby Donald, so the two campaigns made their own arrangements without the Commission.
Yes, nothing wrong with this thread for the watch-along. It’s perfectly-titled; a similar thread with a likely similar title would get confusing.
Thanks. I was too lazy to look this up.
Interesting that the first debate was before the conventions. Best thing that happened to the Democrats in a long, long time.
She doesn’t need to, and no good would come from her rustling with the pig more than once.
Based on the responses so far, I agree this thread is fine to continue for Debate Watch™.
If someone offers a compelling reason why a new thread should be started, we can reconsider. But I agree with @Spoons, another thread would create unnecessary confusion about which thread to post in.
I was off by an hour but I blame the carnitas.
So you are saying you are from the future?
Because where I am the debate starts in about T -23:30 hours.
If so, let us know how it’s going.
September 10 is the earliest general election debate ever, except for the last one. The risk is that Harris will not do tremendously well the first time, or that her debate bounce will be worn off by the time most of us vote.
Am I claiming I understand this stuff better than the Harris team? No. Maybe they gamed it out and decided the best time to push Trump for another debate or two is after her first. We’ll see.
You know what happens when you rustle with the pig. The pig likes it, and grabs you right by the pussy (when you’re famous, they let you), and sexually assaults you in a department store changing room.
One debate with The Pig is more than The Pig deserves. One, for the citizenry. May they register and vote.
Is there a drinking game thread? You know, when Trump plays an invisible accordion look wistfully at your glass.
This thread is already several hundred posts long and will easily be another hundred before tomorrow evening.
I think a new thread is a very good idea.
