For the Trump v Biden Debate we have around 200 users chatting. For the Trump v Kamala Debate we had around 160 users. I'm not sure how many people will be interested in the VP debate.

I am playing it on this channel because the other channel uses peertube, which can potentially share your IP address to other users. This channel will not have peertube.

I will have news commentary playing in the channel before the debate and potentially after the debate as well.

Walz coming out of the gate with uncritical support for Israel's right to start World War 3. Absolute Joy Reich shit.

[–] Doubledee@hexbear.net 34 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yeah gonna get a lot of ammo for dealing with him after this I think. He finally has to say stuff out loud

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 27 points 2 months ago

I can't take this any more. They're just arguing over who can more efficiently implement a fascist vision for America. Fuck this place.

[–] Sasuke@hexbear.net 48 points 2 months ago (1 children)

having both candidates be able to form coherent sentences kinda takes the fun out of it huh

[–] Doubledee@hexbear.net 32 points 2 months ago

Yeah they're being all polite and shit. I stopped listening once it was clear this would be boring.

Vance is crushing, honestly

And then: Walz with a mealy-mouthed closing; Vance with a strong, sharp message that you deserve a house and a square meal, and reminding you that Kamala hasn't given that to you. And those baby blue eyes. It's too bad he's evil.

[–] Doubledee@hexbear.net 27 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He's got the energy of a debate kid and the education of an Ivy League shithead. He struggles to appear like a normal person, not like a smarty pants fast talker.

[–] FungiDebord@hexbear.net 24 points 2 months ago

No wonder he's crushing at a debate then

[–] RION@hexbear.net 27 points 2 months ago

Maybe the worst gaffe to have at that moment

[–] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 38 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That sounded mean after I posted it, I hope everyone that cares about this has fun

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's less about caring about it and more about experiencing this vile shit with comrades

as with the kamala-trump debate, the dems are gloating about the brutality of their border policy while the fascists accuse them of not being brutal enough. americans' blood lust is insatiable

thankfully i apparently missed the part about palestine

[–] FungiDebord@hexbear.net 27 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Cackling as Walz is dropping spaghetti trying to evade his fib that he embellished his Trot credibility by being at a very terrible Tiananmen Square protest.

[–] CommunistCuddlefish@hexbear.net 27 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm busy tonight, can they postpone the debate to tomorrow instead?

[–] sweatersocialist@hexbear.net 24 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Lmao the questions seem to be weirdly pro-Trump for CNN. There's this question about calling Walz out on a lie about going to China during Tianamen Square. Kinda just bizarre.

"Mom, I want the Biden-Trump sons debate!"

Mom: "We have the sons debate at home"

The sons debate at home:

Excited to realize Walz is absolute shit and abandon all hope for 2025

[–] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 30 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not to be rude, but how do you have any hope for 2025 still?

[–] BashfulBob@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hope springs eternal.

But I feel like it gets extinguished earlier every year.

go back and read the minnesotans talking about him on here back when he got the nod, he's shit

less bad than kamala maybe but its not a high bar

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hahaha fuck no. obama-socialism

Like, I...

Idk, this is going to be utterly, utterly unhinged with todays strike on Israel. I don't have the it is what it is for this debate.

Good luck to those of you wading in to the politics. I salute your ideological and intestinal gumption

off to a strong start with a hitler-off on palestine (walz won't even say the word 'palestinian' lol)

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Only way this will be entertaining is if Walz makes a couch joke
