My wife and younger son have never watched a debate in their lives and are all worked up for tonight. They made me promise to at least try to watch.
If she doesnāt bring up that he recently admitted in an interview that he did lose to Biden , I am not voting, fuck it.
She should pivot on every answer back to this point.
Repeat it all night .
This is the headline no matter what happens.
Heās gonna lie, bully, insult, mock, and babble. Sheās gonna get flustered once or twice.
Iāll let you figure out what will be the story of the debate.
Feels like another no-win situation for Kamala but I would love to be wrong.
Iād go with an even mix of stupid, elderly, and rapist. If she doesnāt say āI prosecuted hundreds of rapists just like youā ten times, I dunno wtf sheās thinking.
Kamala attacking Trump personally would probably be a huge mistake, despite all the cheers it would get from people that are already going to vote for her
I canāt tell who is serious so maybe some of this is whooshing over my head but calling him stupid and a rapist, while true, will absolutely not help her.
Just fucking tell people what youāre gonna do for them
Thereās no way to debate someone with no principles. There can be no āgotchaā moment with trump because nothing he says or does really matters to him or any of his supporters.
āYouāre not pro law and order, youāre a criminal presidentā, does nothing. His definition of law and order is brutalizing his enemies, it has nothing to do with rules written in a law book. His definition of a criminal president is a nonwhite president. None of his supporters ever cared about law and order and classified emails, itās literally just empty words they parrot to get what they want
Anything negative you can say about him, heās already spun an alternate definition of and 70 million americans have already bought in whole hog.
Heās been anointed as the patron saint of capitalism. Literally ācatholicsā are saying āfuck the pope Iām following this hateful doofus, the pope is the one who is wrong.ā
But yeah Iām absolutely watching. Got a big bucket of popcorn ready
Calling him a rapist is not going to be appealing for 98% of voters, and is absolutely going to open the door to the insane conversation of āWell, actually, he wasnāt found guilty of rape. He was found liable for sexual assault in a civil trial, and the jury in that civil trial found him not liable for rape.ā Trump has already sued about this and I really donāt think thereās any upside in using that word at all in the debate.
I basically agree with this. She should just go over how sheās going to improve things.
There will be opportunities to throw in a couple āinsultsā which are in reality just accurate depictions of his past behavior/convictions etc. She should take those opportunities if they arise naturally, but she shouldnāt just call him a rapist left and right.
In my opinion. What do I know though. I have no idea what sways these mythical undecideds
well surely nobody is hiring me for political consultation, but Iād go with āfuck another porn star you elderly rapistā until i was blue in the face. But sure, go with the things that the dems will (not) do for regular folk. none of it matters anyhow.
Counterpointādems are beat down, weāve had to vote for Sleepy Joe and Hilary with Tim Kaine and Kerry. We want someone with fire in the bellyāa fighter. Iād love to see her go after him. But, you could be right that that is not the best strategy.
They have gone high in every single decision like this in my memory. Were people talking about Obamaās inspiring speech or his motion? Letās try that once maybe, see what happens.
Plus like, you canāt debate in good faith when one dude is saying that schools are going to take your kid and chop off their dick behind your back. We just donāt live in the same universe, so fuck those weirdo aliens.
If nothing you can say about Trump matters, whatās the game plan if you have to go through the motions of a debate? Just ignore him? Itās going to look weird standing next to a bucket of shit while you pretend heās not there.
Iām sure sheāll try to appeal to centrists and traditional Republican voters and say she wants more cops and more border patrol.
Wish we could bet against that number lol.
Fighting against Trump is the wrong fight. Everyone already knows Orange Man Bad. Fight for the people.
(Of course we know that Dems donāt do that, but itād be better than hammering Orange Man Bad for the third fucking presidential election in a row)
I hope she just talks about coconut trees the whole time
Not every decision, the only part of the 2020 debates I remember is Bidenās āwill you shut up, man?ā so anecdotally things like that are awesome.
