Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

This very well could get someone killed.

@Dustcan
I did kind of fall into that trap, though I just wondered why they’d do it and if it’s a common thing in Haiti (I heard there’s a Chinese dog breed that’s literally for eating)

@Dustcan
oof.

The Michigan Supreme Court has ruled that RFK cannot take his name off the ballot after he missed the deadline.

@Dustcan
Ah classic RFK jr.

A historic number of undecided voters are expected to tune in to tonight’s debate.

Kamala has the benefit of Biden’s dismal performance to help distinguish herself.

Basically, all she needs to do is “adequate” and she’ll likely cement her momentum.

If she absolutely blows Trump out of the water, and if Trump goes full unhinged leprechaun mode on her, I think it could be the final nail in his political coffin.

September is do or die for campaigns. Very few people change their minds, and the “October surprise” is not as prevalent as it might seem. If either candidate has a stinker performance, it could spell disaster for their chance at the White House.

While there is a whole list of shit trump could say to shoot himself in the ear foot, one stands out.

If he goes on a sexist tirade, I think that could be career ending. He’s already underwater with women, but there are still a good number of suburban women who haven’t fully made up their minds. If he fully alienates them tonight, he’ll basically kiss his chances in the Rust Belt goodbye, and likely North Carolina too.

From what I heard on the news, Pizzagaetz has been one of the folks helping Donald prepare for the debate.

Now before the debate we have Haitin Immigrants eating our pets while living in Spingfield, Ohio. Not true, about them eating our pets. Thanks Republicans for being weird.

@BlitztheDragon
Gabbard’s the other.

After Biden’s poor performance, I don’t have much faith in this debate. If Trump doesn’t have a stroke mid-debate, he’s essentially a winner for the cult.

@Background Pony #D717
Pretty much. Trump can literally shit himself on stage and it won’t matter.

@Background Pony #D717
You didn’t read what they said it seems. It’s those on the fence who the debate is for, not Trump’s cult.

Two brain trusts there, I’m sure they’re giving him grand advice.

“Blame women, and space aliens”

It seems almost paranormal that the mics will be muted.

@Meanlucario
And I bet those on the fence will probably bend themselves into pretzels to stay on the sidelines.

@Background Pony #D717
With the election coming up, they will choose as long as they aren’t in the “won’t vote” crowd.

@Meanlucario
It still won’t matter, because they won’t see it. The networks and newspapers and sites will point out Harris stuttered a name and completely gloss over Trump talking about killing newborn babies or Biden personally piloting planes full of jihadi terrorists into Boise.

Independents might care, but unless they’re actually watching it live, they’ll never see it. And the thing about independents is they’re independents because they don’t care, so the very few that do bother to tune in will catch 5 minutes of droll, zone out, and flip the channel to watch a rerun of Cheers.

@The Smiling Pony
My guess is that Trump’s going to make the debate as unbearable as possible to watch so that undecideds just tune it out as white noise.

@Background Pony #D717
I hope they don’t. And make a fact check out of it.

@igotnopicks
There is a real story there though. It is an evil slumlord trying to squeeze the tenants out and refusing to do anything to improve the place and they are demonstrating that. About how the things they paid for have not happened.

@𝕭𝖆𝖉𝖍𝖊𝖆𝖗𝖙
That doesn’t make that much of a difference if the window to reply is super short. When it comes to 25 words rebuttals Harris can’t match Trump. A lie requires far less words than truth does.

@Background Pony #D717
With so much AI and lies everywhere I actually think debates have gotten a value again. Cause it’s one of the few performances you can somewhat trust.

Bro, multi-quote if you’re gonna reply to multiple people.

@marinus18
They are not eating your pets tho.
