Honestly this is going to be the first bit of content including trump that I’m going to willingly watch for entertainment in YEARS. I anticipate Harris absolutely taking him apart.
I'm so torn on watching or just wait till the postmortem highlights. There's so many cons about watching live -- listening to the whole pointless charade, having to spend an extra amount of time thinking about Trump, and being bombarded by commercials... I fucking hate broadcast TV.
C-SPAN, yo.
Does CSPAN stream online? Neither me nor my girlfriend have cable TV packages, just internet.
Yeah you can stream from their website and they also have a YouTube channel that will stream
I haven't watched any of Trump's speeches. I leave it to those with stronger stomachs to report for me.
The only time I allowed that cunt to enter my earholes I spent the entire time counting the complete sentences since they were so few and far between. Still only lasted about 5 minutes before I decided that literally anything else would be a better use of my time, including staring at the same screen only powered off.
That’s usually my strategy, but this is the first debate in a long time that I think will be something other than a slow-motion car crash on both sides of the stage.
This time, it’s going to be a sprint race between a competently-assembled car and a dumpster full of used fry oil that someone lit on fire. I’m anticipating that it’s going to have a TON of absurdly hilarious and memeable moments.
Im planning to watch it through a youtube streamer or some shit, helps dilute the bullshit.
Yeah, for sure. I sure hope she brings her A game and can bait him into being a psychopath, regardless of which Trump shows up. Isn't that right, other Barry?
I had not thought about it, but I didn't have any interest in the Biden/Trump debate. I knew what to expect, and Biden's disappointing showing just made me bored with the whole thing.
I'm actually excited to see Harris pick Trump apart tomorrow, and I hope she doesn't take her foot off his neck the whole time.
Yep, same. I knew precisely how the Biden/Trump debate was going to pan out - actually, it went worse than I thought it would, if I’m completely honest.
Seeing someone who is actually at/near the peak of their political game and mental aptitude just clinically disassemble the narcissistic psychopathic fascist is going to warm my heart tomorrow evening, because fascists should be given no quarter under any circumstances.
I'll wait for the memes and then John Stewart's highlights.
