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.

Honestly, that was a solid debate from both candidates. They both did a good job dancing around direct answers. They both could throw and take jabs. The humbleness and relatability of both candidates was a breath of fresh air. I think they both did a good job trying to sway anyone on the fence, and overall, I think this benefits the Republican Party most. Vance is just a much more personable person than Trump. Democrats are really going to need to turn up if they want to win this election. I really think productive right-specific voters are going to show up from both sides and determine it.

Here's to hoping personal autonomy wins out. Govement rules over ones personal body is a slippery slope. Allowing one to choose, that's freedom.

My take away is the same. That was more of a "debate" than we have had in literal years.

I think walz did good. He held his ground and had some very solid jabs. He knows his roll as second man and backup and played it well.

Vance... did suprisingly well, and will definately be a threat in the future, based on his debate skills at least. This is practice for him regardless of how the election turns out. Experience is what he lacks, and the national stage will hone him over the next few years.

All in all, ill say no clear winner for the debate on face value. It was a show for the sake of the show. But ill absolutely be paying attention in the coming years. One scandal can sink vance, and if past gop tendancies are anything, there will be one. Walz is fairly bulletproof in that regard.

That was a good effort from both sides tbh.

Vance doesn't matter. Walz needs to go after Trump and remind viewers how dangerous he is.

[-] N0body@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

Vance probably has marching orders to attack Harris at the cost of making himself look bad. The question is whether he passes on the chance to change his own narrative.

[-] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

They’re both soft-balling this. Lean harder, Walz. He’s giving you ammunition!

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Funnily enough, I think Vance had a savvy answer on climate change and Walz has dominated on immigration

[-] kescusay@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Vance isn't sounding quite as robotic now.

[-] return2ozma@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Walz doing great going after Trump.

[-] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

Not a great start
