Forget about the virus, isn’t this closer than Pence is allowed to sit to a woman anyway?

Holy shit, that is mind blowing.
Try not to breath, Ms. Harris!

Eh, we used to go to the moon back then too. It was a much more advanced time, technologically speaking.

Those barriers seem fine to me. As we all know, aerosol droplets move in straight lines. No way they can get around those barriers.

I hope to Christ this is some 4D chess move. Like they know they’ve got Pence dead to rights on a poz and this is just theater to give him time to confess.
Does anyone in a position of authority anywhere know anything about this virus?

Why are you guys freaking out about the stage? What did you think it was gonna look like? It’s all about optics for Harris as much as it is for Pence.
We’re freaking out because nobody cares about optics, it’s the VP debate. We care about this being the VP debate massacre which kicks off an outbreak in the Biden camp.

IDK, as long as they follow the CDC guidelines it should be fine.

Debates have been given via distance communication in the past.
The third debate between Kennedy and Nixon was done remotely and without an audience.
Anyway, fuck the VP debate. Put her in a fucking bubble when she gets back from that thing. Isolate her in a bunker until November.
You guys really don’t know how politics work if you expected anything else. Like, should she do this? No, of course not. I’m not saying she should. But everything is about optics. Even the color of their socks. Unless Pence is visibly ill, Kamala is doing this.
If she’s definitely doing this the fact that they both get tested by a 3rd party going in is very important. If he’s positive going in and does the debate anyway the optics are horrific for the Trump campaign. I don’t think we need that honestly so I wish we would just demand that the debate be virtual, but it is what it is.
Kamala needs to walk in there and be like…

So much packed into so few words - so glad we (UK) managed to pinch Rob Delaney.
