Yeah this is really annoying. If anything the Rs will try to get Pence infected and pass it on to Harris so that the Rs (and the fucking media) can break out the trust Both Sides Playbook.
I think this is truly a massive fuck up by Team Biden. There arenât that many things that can derail the victory train but Kamala getting Pozzed by Pence could lead to some disastrous outcomes. And there is zero downside to saying âzoom or no debate.â

Eh not really. Weâre past the point where surrogates can move the needle, and her getting pozzed by Pence starts the conversations about Pelosi being next up and is a massive scandal all by itself.
I donât like either though. Iâm hoping they have getting a rapid response test from a third party early this morning as part of the protocol for this thing, that way the headline can be âMike Pence is pozzedâ.
Except that they will never admit Pence was pozzed and in fact will actively deny it and they will also accuse Kamala of being careless and putting Pence at risk.

The concern isnât political. The concern is anythign that increases the chances of both Biden and Harris dying before the election results are certified.
No, I hear that. I was responding to âher getting pozzed by Pence starts the conversations about Pelosi being next upâ specifically.
My GF told me this morning that she may want to watch this debate. I asked her if she remembered Pence vs Kaine from 2016. She didnât.
I gave her the cliffs:
Kaine: Trump said/did this bad thing that Trump said or did.
Pence: No he didnât.
Repeat x 100
Sheâs not really interested anymore. So my plan to binge the last 3 episodes of Succession tonight is in play.
Having a female VP might be a big deal for her.
Yeah but this year weâve got â200,000 PEOPLE ARE DEAD WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW CUCKâ potential.

True. Your comment made me go double check with her that I wasnât crapping on a genuine desire. She told me she was mostly joking about watching it. So, weâll catch some highlights afterward.

Why in the living fuck are there guests for these things in a pandemic?
why do the VP debates always have the candidates sitting at desks instead of standing at podiums???
Like Thin said, this is not comparable to the 2016 VP debate. No one gave a shit if Kaine trounced Pence, but there is blood in the water with Kamala vs Mike P.
You have to also remember that all of us are watching the Kamala debate in anticipation that she is at least going to run for POTUS in a future election, and she may even be asked to serve before the end of Bidenâs term. And now with a live chance that Trump will be forced to leave the office by choice or death, weâre essentially being given POTUS debates with two different sets of candidates.
I say go for the tried and true debate strategy of railing this and the Daniel Dale/Rupar thread while you watch something far more entertaining. Then you can hit pause and dive into a clip whenever something noteworthy happens.

I guess the religious fanatic isnât holding the people hostage this time but still might end up killing them
So the GOP can pull stunts like this.
While I wish the Biden team were insisting on rapid tests today and on independent testing, I do agree that if Kamala gets pozzed itâs a political gain for Dems. Obviously itâs not worth the risk to her health so itâs a bad thing if it happens, but weâll all know where she caught it and itâll basically look like an assassination attempt.
100% Disagree. Maybe if there was a way to definitely prove that she got it from Pence. Since there isnât a way to do that, it would just give Trumpkins and the media ammo to both-sides candidates getting pozzed.
To show that theyâre less important.
65+ percent of Americans would blame the Trump/Pence team.
