She did the job she went there to do. This debate will generate enough material for her campaign to use.

Jon Stewart’s video just dropped on YouTube for where it’s available geographically (where it’s not just use a downloader it totally works)

He had one or two good bits in there, but man…I haven’t watched him recently, and I think that he’s a lot weaker in 2024 than he was during his first time around.

Like, I remember him doing a beautiful video montage a few times that had people “debating” their past selves, where they made inconsistent statements. I feel like that really added to the discussion. He could make a point and do so humorously.

He got the accolades he did for improving the political discussion from just a comedy show.

But most of this was pretty meh, IMHO.

That being said, I don’t know who’s writing for him these days. And his team didn’t have a lot of lead time to cover the debate, so I can kind of understand there not being a lot of great material there. Maybe they’ll have more-meaty stuff on the debate in a day or so.

Dana Bash from CNN actually stating what should be obvious. Paraphrasing:

We’re covering this because it’s racist. We’re talking about memes that say people of color will eat your pets. That’s racism.

it’s also another time he might be mistaking an episode of King of the Hill for real life, like the low-flow toilet flushing… after all he did say “he saw people on TV” talking about it

LovingHippieCat ,

Dunno if anyone has brought this up but Trump basically never looked at Harris. Even had his face turned her direction and just looked at the moderators. The only time he looked at her was when he was forced to at the start where she went to shake his hand. Dude hates her so much.

I would expect that stuff like who you are facing, basic body language and stuff, is choreographed. I don’t think it’ll provide a lot of insight into inner thoughts.

I remember once reading a whole article on the issues with having a presidential candidate be photographed wearing a hat, which is a lot more esoteric than this sort of thing. Lot of time and money spent on optimizing it.

So idk about everyone else, but did anyone else catch that they both had hot mics?

This wasn’t a debate for her, or a law school case scenario, or an undergrad philosophy argument. This was a trap she set.

He managed to call him weak, a poor sport, a sore loser, an idiot, in a publicly appropriate manner, and each time she did, he got more and more unhinged.

Don’t stop your opponent from making the wrong move.

No they didn’t. HE had a hot mic majority of the time. Hers was clearly being muted

Oh hell yes. It is on.

Ah, we’re in the endgame now.

I loved the VPs at the end there. Vance somehow dodged 2 questions about Trumps question dodging.

Key takeaways from a debate that featured tense clashes over abortion, race and the economy

Trump, while measured early on, grew more annoyed as the night went on.

I wish I could have watched it but I just couldn’t listen to his stupidity for 90 minutes.

I just heard Taylor Swift just endorsed Harris, is this true?

Yep, Maddow just announced it on air while interviewing Tim Walz.

I don’t know why, but I just felt the urge to go have a look at r/conservatives. It’s exactly what you imagine. Dear oh dear

The difference in America between commercial and public media: PBS’ stream is letting two political experts answer viewer questions. NBC is interviewing three undecided voters in Pennsylvania.

God fucking damn JD Vance is fucking vapid.

PrincessLeiasCat ,

What’d he do now?

xmunk ,

His post debate commentary can be summed up as “Why didn’t Harris talk about any of the things she talked about and why hasn’t she fixed the economy from her completely ceremonial role.”

It’s like he didn’t watch the fucking debate at all.

PrincessLeiasCat ,

Oh. Thankfully I’ve managed to avoid that.

and why hasn’t she fixed the economy from her completely ceremonial role

While that’s a bullshit accusation from him, it’d also be almost as much so if he had been talking about Biden. Presidents aren’t really what drive most economic changes, yet are regularly blamed for or credited with it by the public, and politicians regularly take advantage of that. What Vance is doing pretty par for the course. That isn’t to say that the practice of exploiting it isn’t disappointing, but it’s not like what he’s doing is all that unique.

Adulated_Aspersion ,

If Trump is holding back on stopping the Russian/Ukraine war just as some sort of dangled treat, then we don’t need him.

As a human being, if he has that control he should exercise it, no matter the outcome of the election.

And besides, he never answered whether he wanted Ukraine to win or not.

Trump looked angry & rattled. Harris looked like she belonged on that stage.
