I will be playing the Kamala v Trump Debate at the link above. I played the Biden v Trump debate on the same channel. For the Biden v Trump debate, we had around 200 hexbear users in the chat. Before/after the debate, I will play news and commentary related to the debate.

Post your debate predictions in the comments.

In a just world Kamala's answer on climate change would've gotten her laughed off the stage.

Both will pretend to be stupid and argue on terms they know are made up nonsense but neither can call the other out on it without calling out themselves.

Post-debate news commentators will discuss the debate and provide a negative amount of insight. Nothing will change, maybe Kamala will do another “I’m speaking” epic brat girlboss moment when Trump talks over her.

I have a private bingo card and if I fill the board I’m ending my own life.

Upvote to become Venezuela on steroids

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 40 points 1 week ago (2 children)

This is really hard as an undecided voter, on the one hand trump says Kamala will turn the US into Venezuela on steroids, on the other Kamala says trump will destroy the Republic. Both sound great so not much progress convincing me one way or the other

Lol Trump is going hard with the anti-immigrant Nazi talking points about Haitians eating pets. This really is going to turn into a genocide-off.

and then kamala immediately bragging about her Cheney endorsement yea

'Where is our president? Is he even alive?'

Another golden one-liner from America's funniest president lmao luv u Don

[–] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 46 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Kamala is over relying on your average American having any concern, respect, or reverence for the Capital, Camp David, etc.

It’s also amazing that you’d critique the negotiation of a peace deal with enemies, who else are you gonna make deals?

[–] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 34 points 1 week ago

Seriously your average American thinks they are all crooks. Nobody gives a shit ya’ll cowered in your offices. People can’t afford rent, food, or daycare; but ya’ll are getting billions in fundraising. Fuck these sickos.

Trump will say some openly fascist things, but with low energy, which will make him lose some of his fans.

Kamala will say some even more wildly fascist things, but with a veneer of civility and euphemisms, making her the darling of the media pundit class.

“I love small business owners like the nurse maid my mother paid to help raise me” was a wild move out the gate by Kamala. Extremely relateable and normal folks.

I'm not watching the debate but holy shit if she actually said that lmao

I can hear my libbish wife yelling 'what about the ICE facilities Kamala' at the bedroom tv so maybe I'm actually rubbing off on her even though she says she's tired of my ranting.

Fuck this shit man. It’s depressing in a different way from Joe Biden’s performance. Trump is such a piece of shit. Kamala sucks shit.

He finally answers a question and it's a terrible answer. Why would you just openly admit that you have no alternative plan to Obamnacare after 9 years? Huge unforced E, just make some shit up, it's not like anyone will remember it in three days.

So Kamala’s answer was just a round about way of saying she doesn’t want the Ukraine war to end and that they’ll keep sending weapons lmao

[–] Omegamint@hexbear.net 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It was actually deeply sad that trump was giving a very level headed response on Ukraine

It will be boring.

Media headlines:

  • Trump HUMILIATED as Kamala SLAYS him at the debate
  • Kamala CLAPS BACK at Trump with VICIOUS debate performance
  • Kamala SURGES AHEAD in polls after decisive victory

I predict Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will get into a pissing contest about which of them will kill more Muslims and deport more refugees (whom they call "illegal immigrants")

Prayers up for my wife who is currently visiting her MSNBC addicted mom for a couple days. Had no idea there was a debate, and I don't think she does either, but oh fuck is she going to go through hell tonight. I've watched cable news with this woman and it is always just beyond excruciating. We had to implement a no politics rule for phone calls because they would all just turn into her ranting about whatever was on MSNBC for hours on end, but I don't think that's going to apply for the debate

[–] Sasuke@hexbear.net 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

i think kamala is technically "winning" the debate, but she's winning in a very hillary 2016 kind of way
