Tuesday 9/10 Presidential Debate Megathread!

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!

She needs to stay on target.

He brings up the border?

She brings up the fact that he killed the strongest border bill the US has ever had because "it would make Biden look good."

He brings up the cost of things?

His tariffs will raise prices by at least 10% across the board.

He brings up she's soft on crime.

She can bring up that he literally is crime incarnate.

"Soft on crime?" I guarantee I'm not soft on crime and when elected I will make sure your remaining indictments are no longer delayed and fully prosecuted.

"You'll have your day in court, just like any other American. No one's above the law. You are like any other American, aren't you, Donald? Aren't you?"

He brings up Afghanistan?

She brings up his own admission that it was his own doing:

speaking at a rally on 26 June [2021, he] even stated that he “started the process” and claimed Biden “couldn’t stop it” if he “wanted to”.
