      I talked to some friends after the debate who claim to be independent and they said they still thought they both were terrible. I don’t understand how anyone could equate Harris with Trump, especially after Jan 6

          It’s not that they have forgotten. It’s that they are privileged enough to not need to be aware of it or feel the dark effects as they creep in. Even non rich people can be privileged to a certain degree.

          I have a bud who is basically a neet because of health conditions and he’s like that, ‘both sides are the sameish’. His family isn’t rich but his mom has a decent middle class work from home job and they moved to a cheap AF state so they do alright. He’s basically shielded from anything that could happen since he’s a white, straight, male with health insurance through his mom.

          I like to sometimes remind people that being numb doesn’t mean you aren’t being hurt. If your arm is numb and someone is stabbing it with a knife, that’s probably still a problem.

        If it was done online where they can be truly impartial, I think they could be fine, as long as it’s just one page of questions so you can do it in like a minute

      She was coached very well and must have come across presidential to undecideds.

          She absolutely did, and it showed. Being a prosecutor and debating on live TV are very different, least of all because you are trying to appeal to millions. She reduced her fillers, her laugh, and other bits which could have come across as patronising.

            Though I do wish she had laughed at him a little cause you could see her fighting it. Its hard to take Trump seriously when he rambles like that.

            Yep, I could tell when her prep kicked in at various times.
            Her prep team deserves a pizza party and raises.

            She dominated.
