Final (?) Debate thread before the election in 35 days.

Debate begins at 9 PM Eastern, 6 PM Pacific and runs 90 minutes.

Vice Presidential debates are always tricky since nobody has voted for Vice President in living memory.

Expect Vance to attack Walz on his military service.

Expect Walz to attack Vance on the whole "immigrants eating cats and dogs" thing.

Expect Vance to attack Walz on being an assistant coach, at best.

Expect Walz to roll out "Weird!" at least once.

CBS has announced the burden of fact checking will be on the candidates themselves.

The borders aren’t open, you numpty twat. Just keep lying.

yeah the problem here is vance says things that could be decent. if they were actually true. walz is doing great but how do you debate just made up crap.

Do you live near the southern border? No one disagrees that there are serious difficulties with border enforcement and illegal immigration right now. They're debating what to do about it. I would honestly encourage you to follow more reporting on border issues. Like actual reportage, not commentary. It's rough.

I grew up in Phoenix, and we had a home in Puerto Penasco Mexico, so yeah. You don’t know me, so don’t assume I don’t know what I’m talking about. I don’t say things I can’t source, thanks.

You should look up what a question mark means. Relax.

I assumed it meant you were asking a question, which I answered. Where’s the confusion?
