After the DNC they had a panel with "undecided" voters and didn't vet one of them and he turned out to be a rabid Trump supporter. He was the only one not voting Harris.

Wonder what they'll manage to do this time.

I have great sympathy for the fact checkers that will have to post every lie that Trump said. All he has to do is move his lips

Fight me.
Eh, I have time for a post or two here, and no one else is likely to engage.

Democratic Party credibility.

Undecided voters will only be swayed if they believe the Dema will/can deliver on her promises. Many have been burned before. I don't see anyone choosing Trump based on the debate, but many could remain double-haters.

in any educated 1st world country he wouldn't even have 10% of the vote.
It's still going to be close. 3rd world country!! 1st world theme parks!

The undecided want to see policies and specific examples of how they would carry it out. Can she deliver is a fair question but at the same time she did give them something to mull over.

I wonder what effect messages from congressmen and senators have on presidential elections. If there is a lucid member of congress making a good policy pitch, and reminding voters that only a republican president will enact the policy, does get Trump a vote despite everything? Literally a necessary evil.

Two party system. What are you going to do?

The comments I heard were roughly the following:

"Lies on both sides" (cool, but some are much more egregious than others)

"We know he lies, and we know why" (okay, but you're still undecided?)

"I wasn't moved on her economic policy" (compare it to Trump's policy and there's literally no plan? Please)

"I know what will happen. Come November/December, they will vote through the budget, and they will continue to spend money. They spend and spend...*incoherent rambling*" (I actually agree with this, but the guy lost me with his rambling).

They clearly hate both sides, but for stupid reasons. At least one side has a plan. The other has "concepts of a plan"....LOL.

Excellent questions were asked with Trump being the only one who got bent out of shape when challenged. On top of that Harris baited him and got him to go on his unhinged rants.

Well maybe that's it. One side has a plan, but some people don't like it. So they take what's in the box!

Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most. As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country.

Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.

I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.

I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice. Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it’s much easier to vote early. I’ll link where to register and find early voting dates and info in my story.

With love and hope,

Taylor Swift

This whole "3 on 1 debate" bull#### has got to stop. They let him speak far more than her and rebut any point he wanted.

Don't like the questions? Have a good answer for them for once.
