I will be playing the Kamala v Trump Debate at the link above. I played the Biden v Trump debate on the same channel. For the Biden v Trump debate, we had around 200 hexbear users in the chat. Before/after the debate, I will play news and commentary related to the debate.

Post your debate predictions in the comments.

    In a just world Kamala's answer on climate change would've gotten her laughed off the stage.

      What even was her answer? I feel like I entered a fugue state, I remember the question but I don't remember either person answering about climate.

        She said it was an existential threat and that she was proud to have increased gas production to an all time high.

        It was a bunch of rambling nonsense but in the word salad, she implied that natural gas was a renewable energy source and said something along the lines of the US building out renewable energy and manufacturing (which helps, somehow?)

            It's absolutely bonkers. If the moderators were actually cool instead of your standard centrist corporate invertebrates, they would've asked if the candidates have any idea what 2 C warming would do to the United States. I would really love to see what the "at least she's better than Trump" crowd would do with being forced to accept that their preferred candidate had no plan, either.

    Both will pretend to be stupid and argue on terms they know are made up nonsense but neither can call the other out on it without calling out themselves.

    Post-debate news commentators will discuss the debate and provide a negative amount of insight. Nothing will change, maybe Kamala will do another “I’m speaking” epic brat girlboss moment when Trump talks over her.

    I have a private bingo card and if I fill the board I’m ending my own life.

        But will somehow still seem more grounded than Kamala who will be on a cocktail of anti psychotics and uppers that would make Jordan b Peterson blush.

                One of those shows i watched a second time as a full on adult and realized it was even more funny than i thought as a teen. So good and all the subtle(and not so subtle) metal references were nice to see

      This is really hard as an undecided voter, on the one hand trump says Kamala will turn the US into Venezuela on steroids, on the other Kamala says trump will destroy the Republic. Both sound great so not much progress convincing me one way or the other

    Kamala is over relying on your average American having any concern, respect, or reverence for the Capital, Camp David, etc.

    It’s also amazing that you’d critique the negotiation of a peace deal with enemies, who else are you gonna make deals?

      Seriously your average American thinks they are all crooks. Nobody gives a shit ya’ll cowered in your offices. People can’t afford rent, food, or daycare; but ya’ll are getting billions in fundraising. Fuck these sickos.

    Trump will say some openly fascist things, but with low energy, which will make him lose some of his fans.

    Kamala will say some even more wildly fascist things, but with a veneer of civility and euphemisms, making her the darling of the media pundit class.

      Honestly think your underestimating how much msm wants another Trump turn.

      The articles tomorrow are gonna be that Trump was disciplined and stayed on message, ignoring the part where he talked about how he could beat rocky balboa in a fight for 8 minutes.

      Two things liberal media loves in order are: republican president who will cut their taxes, their viewership jumping 40% because everybody need the outrage du jour of what dumb shit Trump posted on Twitter.

    “I love small business owners like the nurse maid my mother paid to help raise me” was a wild move out the gate by Kamala. Extremely relateable and normal folks.
