Nope.
Trump fans don't care.
Harris fans saw confirmation.
Disinterested voters didn't watch.

Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

...and a news media that desperately needs a horse race for clicks will continue to hold Harris to a higher standard than the orange Mr. Magoo.
A convicted rapist literally claimed that you’re allowed to murder babies - then we put them side by side and double check if Harris said something that was slightly exaggerated. What’s so weird about it?
Ajnt Ornj: "~~non white~~ 'illegal immigrants' are literally coming to eat your pets and the democrats want to let them"
Media fact checker: "this may not be entirely true, as no evidence has been produced to support the claims, however we found a Twitter post that... "
Harris: "those polling numbers increased by 18%"
Media fact checker: "This is blatantly false. The number actually increased by 17.86%"
Idiots online: BOTH SIDES LIE THEY'RE EXACTLY THE SAME
Trump was barely coherent throughout, but you'll see the media clean up his word salad as 'Trump vigorously defended his economic policies and the handling of the pandemic.'

Clips of this will spread through media and word of mouth, though. People who did watch it can tell their friends stories about it. That's why it's good that she did well. It builds cultural momentum.

People not voting for Harris because of Gaza need to avoid watching the debate, otherwise they’ll change their minds. No matter how bad things are, they can get worse.

Fox News poll, right after the debate.
Boomertown.
Fox is conservative STATE propaganda. No different to Russian or North Korean state propaganda. Regardless of the blatant bias, there is literally nothing stopping them from manufacturing this "poll" out of thin air.
Fox isn’t state media. I dislike the mendacious fuckers as much as the next guy but let’s try and stick to facts.
The US has very few state media organizations. Voice of America is one. Radio Free Europe is another.
Fox is an independent organization, if they were state media the Biden admin would have control of their news. That obviously isn’t the case.
I know this is about Fox, but I want to continue to share that neither is NPR. It is an independent nonprofit that operates independently of the government and gets less than 1% of it's operaiting budget from federal sources.

Good news is 8% managed to get their head out of their ass. Who is answering that poll besides hardcore conservatives?
Russian Bots
The comment about Haitian immigrants eating cats definitely clenched it for me.
My ass cheeks that is. As I was dying laughing.

It will change a lot.
This will dramatically increase the number of Republicans who will tell everyone they're not voting for him, and then vote for him.
A few Republicans I know said they were going to vote libertarian or just not vote after watching the debate so she did pretty fucking well.
Despite how much they go on about how nuanced and special their views are, libertarians will find a way to vote GOP like they always do.

I'm sure they said that.
I like to lie about things I'm ashamed of too.
"She makes some good points. I might vote for her if she wasn't a Democrat" - Republicans

Some Republican politicians will switch perhaps.
