Final (?) Debate thread before the election in 35 days.

Debate begins at 9 PM Eastern, 6 PM Pacific and runs 90 minutes.

Vice Presidential debates are always tricky since nobody has voted for Vice President in living memory.

Expect Vance to attack Walz on his military service.

Expect Walz to attack Vance on the whole "immigrants eating cats and dogs" thing.

Expect Vance to attack Walz on being an assistant coach, at best.

Expect Walz to roll out "Weird!" at least once.

CBS has announced the burden of fact checking will be on the candidates themselves.

“We have well developed views on public policy so we don’t have to prepare that much,” Vance said in a Teamsters press call on Wednesday morning. “We feel a lot more confident and frankly, you don’t have to prepare if you don’t have to hide what you say.”

-Jd "we make stuff up" Vance

😂🤣😂🤣

Attacking Walz on his military record while Vance had a mostly clerical job, never saw combat, was of a lower rank and was in the military for 4 years compared to 24 years? Bold move...

Very kind of Walz to host a one-on-one seminar on how to be a normal human person for Vance's benefit.

I tragically can't stay up for this one but I'm hoping to see clips of some excellent, "They're eating the dogs," discourse tomorrow.

"hey, thanks for getting off the couch. I know it can take a lot of effort to be here."

Also.

"i wanted to thank you for normalizing men wearing makeup. a lot of my friends really appreciate it."

I'll be asleep which I suppose I should be thankful for (I've already voted by mail as an overseas voter). I'm still disappointed about the whole fact-check thing.

The fact checking of the last debate really made it stand out. It felt like the debate served an actual purpose as opposed to just hearing what amounted to a mini rally for the candidates.

This is a huge disappointment to me, as now there is no need to defend any of their comments. It's basically just a campaign ad.
