Give him zero prep time.

Lol. He doesn't prep. He's been so opposed to prep, they are having what they are calling "Policy Time" where others question and answer each other in front of him. He's prepping via osmosis.

I want a source, not because I doubt you but because I desperately need something to distract me from the stress of this political cycle and that sounds fucking hilarious to read about.

This is the closest I could find, but still seems a little sane-washed.

But most of the latenight and podcast people were talking about it today/tonight. I'm sure there's a better article. But I can't find a good one since the search terms include Donald Trump and debate and time, so it's just so desperately trying to inform me what time the debate is.

FINALLY! Here's the Harris/Walz policy: https://kamalaharris.com/issues/

Looks like a really compelling list of policy stances, thanks for posting

[–] return2ozma@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Of course I would have liked to see more but at least it's something.

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I'm curious what you'd have liked that wasn't included? We got cost of living issues, social issues like protections for queer folks, health of our democratic institutions kinda stuff, the climate crisis; I feel like she mentioned pretty much all the stuff I really care about

My guess is people want more assurance that she will actually put her foot down with Israel. The policy mentions it but mostly just says "we'll keep working hard on this like we have been".

Obviously still miles better than what Trump offers there, but I believe that's the biggest grievance the left will have with Kamala's stated policies.

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Ahhh, yeah that's fair, I was thinking domestically

Take care :)

Finally. This is when the actual election should start.
