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.

‘Where is our president? Is he even alive?’
Another golden one-liner from America’s funniest president lmao luv u Don
“I have concepts of a plan, but I’m not the president right now.” Lmao
I didn’t watch, but either of them could have said this in my mind lol.
It was Trump lol
what’s with the conservative obsession about fracking regulations? I hear it with rank and file chuds in my life. as far as I know, the dems haven’t really increased regulations, there was a dip in production in the lead up to 2020 because it wasn’t as profitable as more conventional drilling methods, but from what I know, it’s kind of come back.
Just a holdover of the “fossil fuels good, domestic jobs” crap. It’s a romanticized “manly job”; modern day coal miner. And a few key states have a lot of profitable fracking so they keep their talking points in regular rotation
what’s with the conservative obsession about fracking regulations?
no need to swear!
Because the debate was held in Pennsylvania where they love fracking despite the awful shit it causes
Live poll results from The Oklahoman. The normies are unmoved:
“The undecided” are a meme since everyone is locked in to their political factions and the undecided are the ones that see the game is rigged and refuse to play.
Sorry, the actual American “undecided” voter wants Medicare for all but also wants to kill every Palestinian and also allow employers to put their workers in gulags
the undecided voter is just going to vote for whoever is listed first on the ballot
My partner mentioned that she needed to “sway the independents” and got mad when I responded “all three of them?”

“This debate swayed my vote”
1 in 4 yes
do they just…not know what sway means?
I watched the entire thing. I feel dumber and less informed now than I was before watching. My conclusion: both candidates should be gently placed in a field and set upon by dogs or perhaps wolves.
I did notice one thing - in terms of correcting outright bullshit when possible and asking decent questions I thought the moderation was considerably better than the Biden-Trump one and it did not matter at all, because both candidates were doing the “answer the question you wish they’d asked” thing everyone has now internalized as the least risky way to handle these things. Harris did a slightly different version of this where she adds a “I’m gonna tackle that point by point” type preamble before not doing that.
Wow, this presidential debate on 9/10 is America’s 9/11. May all the brave souls who died on this night rest in glory
Jesus christ how horrifying.
I don’t have it in me to check. How bad is right now

it was very nice to see it with y’all
I’m just joining now, did I miss anything worth watching?
yes, it was a good one
I listened to like 40 minutes or so? Nothing funny, not worth it.
Donnie was wandering around the spin room looking like Biden when he forgets where he is lol!
Honestly this debate probably slightly hurts Kamala, just by virtue of people having to watch her more. She didn’t do a great job of rebutting Trump. Her response to him just lying his ass off the whole time just wasn’t sharp enough, and there was so little substance in her responses - it’s just not going to move the needle for anyone. My lib boyfriend just gave up watching it after 30 minutes or so and was laughing at Trump half the time. It just made me depressed and less interested in giving a fuck about this election.
Donald trump is funny af ngl.
