Posting this thread a little earlier than normal because this night will be a little unusual. For this special Thursday Political Theatre Night, 9PM EST, Hexbear Comrade @dead asked the powers-that-be for a brand-new channel on Hextube, and got it, at https://live.hexbear.net/c/news , where he will host the real-life comedy movie known as the Presidential Debate. Behold as two doddering old men stumble over their words and lose their train of thought as they struggle to convince you why they should be the steward of a genocidal empire. Be prepared for psychic damage. Thank you to Comrade @dead for hosting this very special event. All credit and gratitude goes to him. Make sure to show up at 9PM sharp, as the event is live.
After the debate is over, come over to https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies for Civil War (2024), a dystopian thriller from Alex Garland, the director who brought you Ex Machina (2015) and Annihilation (2018). Oh god, America has fallen apart! Roving bands of marauders now terrorize the countryside as a group off war journalists try to reach Washington DC to understand what’s really going on. Somehow, California and Texas ended up on the same side. Will we find out how? I dunno. Let’s watch.
The debate begins at 9PM EST, and the movie will start shortly after it ends, at about 11PM EST.

Hell yeah they are this is what I came for, fight you old bastards!
It's a good thing Biden is such a piece of shit because in general the idea of making someone with this much cognitive decline do a televised debate is fairly upsetting
Yank politicians have been making laughing at people with Alzheimer’s disease funny and cool since 1987
This shitshow should be all the evidence you need to understand why Americans deserve VERY limited rights
I tried so hard for so long to give the average person the benefit of the doubt, but my latest interaction with insurance companies has made my atheistic ass beg irrationally for some type of Lenin to take out the trash. Insurance companies and other capitalist pigs are the Russian tsars but with exponentially more power and influence.
As I grow older, I just realize how dumb I was having hope for Bernie in 2020, as if shit would’ve changed at all in this archaic country that is designed to fuck over anyone who didn’t benefit from generational wealth
I’m not an accelerationist but it might like two generations of Mad Max.
That’s just the last dregs of liberalism leaving your system. Electoralism detox can be rough but is ultimately good for ya
Remember when Biden passed that extremely draconian border law, and all the libs were crowing about how genius it was because "now the Republicans can't say we're weak on border control!".
How's that going?
It's wild that, after all this time, Democrats still can't comprehend the idea that "Republicans can just lie"
RIGHT!? It's the far right's biggest strength and the center rights keep playing right into it
I was mistaken, it was an executive order: A Proclamation on Securing the Border.
he's playing 4d chess and destroying the gop
Surprise surprise his supporters don't actually care about the migrants when Trump/gop not in office
dems trying to outflank republicans from the right but still getting outflanked by the repubs who still weren't satisfied
Watching two old guys determine who should be president based on their golf handicaps
That was the best part, honestly. It was them at their realest.
CNN is running a bunch of travel ads like they realize people watching this are going to be looking for an exit.
Good Morning America last week when I was at my parents house was basically a paid ad for Americans to get out and move to Portugal.
“We’d be able wipe out his debt,” Mr. Biden said, describing how tax increases on the wealthy would increase federal revenue. “We’d be able to help make sure that all those things we need to do — child care, elder care, making sure that we continue to strengthen our health care system, making sure that we’re able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I’ve been able to do with the uh, Covid, excuse me, with dealing with everything we’ve had to do with, uh — look, if — we finally beat Medicare.”
Biden rolling like a soulsborne character as the physical embodiment of Medicare tries to crush him with a big hammer.
Just yesterday I had a lib scoff at me for saying that America was on a downwards track while China was ascendant
Trump: "to be fair to China"
Most reasonable thing said tonight so far.
Reddit is censoring everything about the debate right now HOOLLY FUCK! Emperor has no clothes.
Wtf, can't view any comments on related threads, they locked the main thread
This is wild
Reading the r/politics megathread is like reading a brainstorming session for dnc talking points. I don’t throw around the term AstroTurf a lot but Jesus Christ
Straight up Biden does not look good out here dawg this is bad shit
I'll never understand how anyone can look at Biden and not see a confused old man
It's remarkable how sharp Trump seems in comparison next to Biden. Seems like a disaster for Biden to be compared side-by-side like this
Who approved a 9pm debate lol, there aren't enough drugs in the world
Yeah even with Trump doing his little faces and meandering insults he still somehow seems like the only coherent one. Trump's pharma team is killing it, is Biden even on anything? Get your shit together Biden crew.
Biden on the finest regimen of fruit juices recommended by Steve Jobs' holistic medical practitioner
the debate is over. at peak we had 200 hexbears in chat. thank you everyone who came
That is the best summation. I expected it to at least be funny.
