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!
Live updates, how and when to watch, debate rules, etc. here:

Just wish moderators would have the spine to hold Trump to the rules and just keep his mic muted and move on.
Maybe it is in the benefit of Harris given his rambling but I don't know.
Its absolutely to the benefit of Harris.
All these comments were likely what was pushing Biden down and distracting Biden when Trump's mic was off. Now that the mic remains on, Trump is clearly the one trying to fuck up Kamala. But she's much quicker on the uptake and can judo-throw him off of her. The mic makes it obvious when Trump is attempting to distract.
I expected nothing of ABC and am still disappointed. I think Harris could have done better, but production just doing their bare minimum job as journalists would have made a huge difference.
At least she took advantage of the lax enforcement herself several times, which was nice to see. Fucking hell though...
